Thanks to all who came to the Tauranga and/or Christchurch festivals recently. We had a great time! The Grand Central Band went off on the Friday night, and we had a huge crowd for the Alan Brown Trio in the Red Square on the Saturday. Sold heaps of CDs, too.

Christchurch was fun - a difficult venue for the trio, though. It was a rock-type venue - huge stage, huge PA, lights etc. However, the gig went well although the numbers were down a little. There were a number of events on that night, including the main international act, so I think we did well all things considered! The festival was extremely well-organised though, and we found some local jazzers at a small, but excellent bar after the gig. It was great to be able to play both festivals - now to find some local venues for the AB Trio...
