I went to see a favourite band of mine last Friday (the Tea Party) with a friend of many, many years. As these trips can often go we spent a lot of time talking about the past (also spent a lot of time talking about the future lest you think we were "good old days"-ing).

At one point in the reminiscence I started talking about this concert I helped put on with another couple of good mates way back in 1998.

Being the idealistic young gents we were and seeing the lack of an original music scene in Dubbo we thought we could, should, do something about it... and being the idealistic young gents we were we gave ourselves a month... and you know it worked out pretty well - 6 bands, 100 something people... it continued for 3 more years and grew to have 3 stages, 50+ acts and more than 12 hours of music. I'm still immensely proud of "Back to the Grind",

...but more about that another time...

I mention BTTG because I was talking to my friend about the band of mine that played, Lemin Yellow Sun, and how I'd recently reconnected with the old lead singer and we talked about recording the old songs and maybe some new ones... I was saying how excited I was about the project and how good reconnecting felt, then I moved on to another of my latest rants (as I tend to...)

So anyway, we pulled up at the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel for a pre gig ale, having to go to the second level to find a solitary empty table. I take my seat and hear "Clint! Hey Clint" - 400km I'd travelled, sitting at the only available table at a randomly selected establishment only to find myself next to Steve, the aforementioned singer of Lemin Yellow Sun.

Sounds like universal forces want some more Lemin Yellow Sun music too and how can I argue with that.

PS I'm not the world's best promoter (contrary to appearances) and sometimes I forget to tell people what I'm doing, if you're interested follow me on Spotify here and/or YouTube here and/or BandCamp here and/or Twitter here... that should just about cover it!

I'm not around Facebook at the moment as part of a 100 day charity challenge - details here - and there'll be some musical developments around that too hopefully!

Thanks for listening!
