oh wow. so the christmas special was a lot of fun! my main thoughts..
Ruby feels like a mashup of rose and clara with a dash of amy— idk if that was intentional, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing bc i think anyone who likes Ruby and hasn’t seen previous series can go back and watch those previous companions for the first time and find familiarity in them— but i really didn't like clara’s personality (or the actor), and i think ruby comes across as more of an algorithm designed character than a person which isn’t great in this war against ai. i like her backstory, her family and friends and being a muso are all great, but i need a few more eps to guage how i feel about her bc i don't love who they cast and she's trying too hard and the chemistry with ncuti just isn't there (maybe they'll become mates irl and that rapport will soon filter into their dynamic)—but it's early days, so we'll see how i feel about her and them by the end of the first season.
i love Ncuti! it's very early days so i'm curious to see how his vibe develops and how his dynamic settles with Ruby. he reminds me so much of eric from Sex Education—not a bad thing at all! i love that energy and that swagger and that vivacious youth! however: that intro club scene where he's dancing (even though it was fun af) was giving zero Doctor Who vibes (i especially didn't like the song choice, personal preference) but that might just be normal? how it usually goes with every new doctor this millenium? they all feel so different from the previous doctor's era vibes, which makes sense bc they're meant to be carving their own style etc. and keeping with the times..
ncuti is the youngest doctor yet, his companion is the youngest since the vintage days, and various character details from both of them point towards this series being geared at GenZ and GenA, trying to bring the joy and wonder to younger viewers— and i love that! it feels fresh! it’s modern! but as someone in their early 30s who can no longer bear watching teen dramedies (even if they are the best chance of seeing queer rep) bc the writing can be terrible but moreover i've just aged out of relating to people in their teens (especially GenZ/A) i just hope the writing of DW doesn't take on that same teen mindset so much that it puts off older viewers. i also worry he’s not believable as a doctor on earth bc he looks so young, but *handwavey*.
singing goblins? fun. singing doctor? well, it's ncuti so it was awesome. but knowing ruby is in a band, and this doctor can sing.. look, i just don't want to see more random musical numbers pop up in future eps— but i'm not a fan of musical eps in anything, so again, personal preference. it's a very american thing to do, inserting musical numbers into non-musical shows, so maybe it'll pull more american viewers?
the goblins look cool and the cgi works without looking fake and they use prosthetics for the goblin king which works well. it’s monstery fun doctor who! magic as science! language of ropes! conicidence! i think we’ll see a lot more fantasy over scifi this series, as was started with the whole salt spilling at the edge of the universe, and as a lover of supernatural and scifi i’m excited for the melding of the two! there’s a lot of fun and mystery to be found in that genre mashup. but one baby for all those goblins? or just the king? i have notes.
Fifteen being a foundling like Ruby hints at the arc of the series? will we find out who the doctor's parents are? was he created in a stardust labratory? is he really a human being from 20th/21st century earth? (would explain his returning to that era so often his whole life and seeking companions from then and there) IS RUBY THE DOCTOR? i love this setup, this mystery, and the theory that the one who left Ruby is Thirteen.
the best christmas song choices imho. the music and set design was festive and warm and such a treat, although i wish more scenes were set at night so we could get more christmas lights and lighting magic - the apartment and the church lighting were so beautiful and vibrant! the daytime setting just didn’t pop, it was bland.
shoutout to the crack in Ruby’s apartment swallowing her up in time— who else screamed Amelia Pond! the crack in my wall! and pointed manically at the screen? i feel you.
all in all: fun, smiles, thrills, almost tears. not a lot of feels even when they were prompted, but that might be on me not loving Ruby atm and not the writing lacking anything— i think this series is gonna deliver on the feels front, no question about it.
i think people who enjoyed the 21st century doctors, as well as those who are new to the show, will enjoy this ep and Ncuti’s portrayal (especially those who are fans of Sex Education). very curious to see how existing fans react to Ruby’s casting and characterisation and whether i’m in the minority of not liking her. but this was a fun little adventure! i’m looking forward to the series bc ncuti is a powerhouse and with RTD back at the helm and fantasy-scifi angle, i think we're in for some good storytelling. 
ruby's actor is my main hangup, but we'll see. we shall see..

His film career began as an assistant projectionist for a documentary on the arrest of Patrice Lumumba. This triggered his desire to create films of his own, and he obtained a scholarship to the Moscow School of Cinema and Television.
He returned to Mali and joined the Ministry of Information as a cameraman, where he produced documentaries and short films. He produced his first medium-length film, Cinq jours d’une vie, which tells the story of a young man who drops out of a Qur’anic school and becomes a petty thief living on the street. Cinq Jours premiered at the Carthage Film Festival.
He produced his first full-length film in the Bambara language, Den Muso, the story of a young mute girl who has been raped. The girl becomes pregnant and is rejected both by her family and by the child’s father. Den Muso was banned by the Malian Minister of Culture, and he was arrested and jailed for having accepted French funding.
He produced Baara, which received the Yenenga’s Talon prize at Fespaco. He produced Finyé, which tells the story of dissatisfied Malian youth rising against the establishment. This earned him his second Yenenga’s Talon at Fespaco.

OPTIMUS PRIME ( Commander) Generations LEGACY EVOLUTION *Armada*
Tumblr media
Come già detto altrove, non si poteva festeggiare l'imminente 40ennale dei Transformers senza omaggiare i personaggi di Armada, linea che ha rilanciato il marchio e che pure essa stessa celebra i suoi 20 anni in questo periodo, e ci voleva decisamente un signor OPTIMUS PRIME come questo, presentato al meglio nella classe Commander, per lenire un po' l'assenza dei Minicon in questi "Micron Legends" in salsa Legacy.
Tumblr media
Fra l'altro un Optimus Armada lo aspettavamo dal "lontano" 2019, presentato come prototipo grigio ad un festival giapponese, ma poi abbandonato in favore anche di un look meno stilizzato e più fedele, come è appunto già dalla modalità di CAMION CON RIMORCHIO, anche qui giocoforza più piccolo dell'originale, ma riprodotto fedelmente e pure migliorato in alcuni particolari, come la parte superiore del rimorchio non più con la sensazione di un coperchio rovesciato ( per via del retro le gambe del super mode in bella vista ) o con i finti cingoli meglio scolpiti, ma con l'unico difetto estetico dei moduloni blu laterali anteriori che in proporzione sono parecchio più ingombranti che non nel giocattolo del 2002.
Tumblr media
Per quanto sia un Commander, camion e rimorchio alla fine non sembrano COSI' grandi, rivaleggiando con veicoli simili tipo il Laser Optimus G2 Legacy, ma se guardiamo il precedente Motormaster manco lui era eccessivamente grande, a vedersi...
Tumblr media
Come accessorio per il momento abbiamo il fucilone nero del robot che si può accomodare nel foro centrale sopra il rimorchio o in uno degli altri fori sparsi di questo o del CAMION MOTRICE, cui volendo si può togliere il simbolo di fazione sul tettuccio per farci stare l'arma, citando così la versione Deluxe / Supercon di quell'Optimus.
( Ma sai la figata se questo Commander avesse avuto non solo il Minicon Lamborghini gialla Sparkplug ma pure il jet Over-Run ?? eh ? eh??? … vabbè, andiamo avanti, va'…. )
Tumblr media
Ah, l'aggancio fra rimorchio e motrice è davvero lasco, a differenza di altri camion simili precedenti Generations, dove potevi sollevare il rimorchio e la motrice rimaneva bella salda, mentre qui praticamente si appoggia soltanto e tanti saluti: da una parte così si favorisce la giocabilità, diciamo, dato che tirando la motrice e muovendola il rimorchio segue e ruota di conseguenza, dall'altro era più comodo averli uniti belli saldi, così come spina e foro sono più grandi dello standard dei soliti 5mm, e amen così.
Tumblr media
Dalla parte anteriore del rimorchio spunta una batteria di missili che cita il modulo postazione per Minicon dell'originale, e sarebbe un'idea carina se l'arma non fosse così bassa e quindi con la visuale bloccata dalla motrice lì davanti! ^^'
Tumblr media
Uno dei difetti estetici più comuni dei vari Optimus camion motrice Generations è quello di avere la parte posteriore più grande o grossa della cabina, e questo Armada non ne è esente, anche se va detto che qualcosa migliora rispetto al giocattolo originale, ovvero la testa del super-mode che non si vede più da sotto il veicolo ed i pugnoni che non spuntano più dal retro, ora finalmente integrati lì… si vedono lo stesso da sopra, ma almeno sono integrati! XD
Rimarchiamo gli ottimi dettagli scolpiti e sopratutti dipinti, con argento ed oro sapientemente dosati, così come sono ben fatte le ruote ed i cerchioni del mezzo.
Tumblr media
La TRASFORMAZIONE nel robot è semplice e classica come nell'originale, con un paio di dettagli in più come le parti esterne del muso che slittano in fuori per poter meglio abbassare la griglia frontale che diventa il torso, con il resto della parte frontale che si abbassa diventando le spalle ed i moduli con le canne fumarie le braccia, così come i piedi saltano fuori aprendo i pannelli sugli stinchi, ed un paio di dettagli in meno, dato che le braccia non si accorciano per far uscire i pugni, che sono già belli pronti, e le gambe non si allungano per far uscire le cosce, dato che invece semplicemente ruotano di 180° i pannelli con le due coppie di ruote posteriori.
Tumblr media
Il ROBOT risultante è innanzitutto uno spettacolo per gli occhi, cogliendo al meglio l'estetica dell'originale, con tutti i dettagli al posto giusto, a parte i pugni grigi anzichè blu, ok, ma sopratutto a livello di posabilità il nostro è un bel salto in avanti rispetto al per forza di cose limitato giocattolo originale, riscattato in parte già ai tempi dalla succitata versione Deluxe.
Tumblr media
Ma anche qui, complice la trasformazione nel super mode, in un tripudio di polsi rotanti e caviglie inclinabili, manca la rotazione del bacino, giustificatissima da una parte, ma che fa davvero strano ormai non trovarsela in un Generations d'oggigiorno.
Tumblr media
Ricordate le canne fumarie che si staccavano dagli avambracci ed unendosi diventavano una pistola a se'? Beh, si staccano ancora ma diventano "solo" delle bocche di fuoco da aggiungere ai lati della canna del fucilone nero, fucilone che originariamente era graziato da della plastica trasparente per l'effetto della luce dell'elettronica del giocattolo, ma che qui appunto potevano migliorare / citare con un po' di dettagli in argento, che così tutto nero fa un po' tristezza…
Come stazza il nostro PARE più basso degli altri Prime Generations, ma in realtà siamo lì, anzi per la precisione lo è di 1 o 2 millimetri al massimo, ma l'impressione è data dalle proporzioni della testa leggermentissimamente più grande su un corpo bello robusto ( ma non chiatto, eh ), ed infatti come massa il nostro è ben più pesante di un altro Voyager importante proveniente da un set Commander come Rodimus Prime.
Tumblr media
Ed infine, questo Op cita e migliora una piccola gimmick dell'originale, con la griglia frontale che per la trasformazione si apriva rivelando una Matrice scolpita internamente: qui non solo la Matrice resta nascosta durante la trasformazione grazie ad un doppio pannello, ma è pure estrabile una volta aperto, e con la parte centrale in plastica trasparente!! _
Tumblr media
Dopo tutto questo giustificato entusiasmo per il robot motrice, smorziamolo passando al RIMORCHIO ed alla sua modalità di BASE, qui decisamente diversa dall'originale, che spiccava per la sua trasformazione automatica, aprendosi come un fiore: cosa che succede anche qui, diciamo, ma l'impressione è invece più simile alla base pretestuosa del Prime Powermaster G1, anzi, quest'ultimo con una sua dignità per via di un paio di rampe, almeno: qui invece, aprendo e sistemando le future gambe del supermode ed il modulo cingolato, rimane solo una struttura molto… basilare con solo la batteria di missili frontale a definirla come stazione di battaglia. E non vengono manco sfruttate le due canne dei cannoni sulle future ginocchia che genialmente nel rimorchio servono a sorreggerlo quando rimane orfano della motrice.
Tumblr media
La base dell'originale era uno spettacolo fra postazioni per Minicon e gimmick varie, con tanto di struttura su due piani (!!!), ma tralasciando eventuali postazioni per robottini, dato che purtroppo non sono contemplati in queste versioni Generations, PERLOMENO potevano metterci qualche pannello in più in stile rampa, qualche arma, dato che manco la batteria di missili che finirà dietro la schiena è sfruttata. L'unica piccola che può richiamare una base è uno schermo sul pannello rosso centrale che si solleva, che richiama quello più grande in plastica trasparente del giocattolo originale, ma davvero troppo poco, direi.
Tumblr media
E niente, quindi passiamo velocemente al SUPER MODE prendendo i moduloni laterali e trasformandoli in gambe abbassandoli, tirando fuori le canne dei laser che finiscono sulle ginocchia e facendo uscire i piedi, senza dimenticare di ribaltare i pannelli laterali per liberare le cosce. Il bacino ruota di 180° ed il pannello dei mutandoni si abbassa, e mentre il modulo che sostiene l'arma principale si ripiega diventando un mero pannellone dietro il sedere, quello con i cingoli vi si appoggia la motrice diventata la parte superiore del robottone.
Tumblr media
Il robot normale si trasforma anche qui come l'originale, ma ancora, in maniera più elaborata, ovviamente, con i pugnoni che saltano fuori da sotto i piedi ( con questi che si ripiegano a coprire eventuali fori sotto i polsi ), e le braccione ora formatesi che ruotano all'infuori di 90°, bloccate dalle braccine dell'Optimus Voyager. La testa non spunta più a molla unendo i due componenti, dato che bisogna uscirla a mano, ma l'unione fra parte alta e bassa è decisamente salda, dato che il torso prima si sdraia sul modulo cingolato, incastrandoci il pannello della griglia del camion e bloccandosi con un pannello rosso sulla schiena, per poi piegare in avanti il tutto unendo così il muso del camion al bacino attraverso degli ulteriori blocchi laterali alla base di questo.
Tumblr media
Il SUPER ROBOT ovviamente è fedelissimo all'originale nell'aspetto e nei dettagli sparsi, ma sopratutto, finalmente lo migliora a livello di antropoformia e articolazioni, con le gambe del giocattolone del 2003 sacrificate anche qui per la gimmick sempre elettronica della trasformazione automatica. Ora il nostro ha le cosce libere e sopratutto le gambe articolate al meglio, con rotazione, ginocchia pieghevoli, caviglie inclinabili e sopratutto, come summenzionato, bacino rotante, anche se un po' limitato dai pannelli laterali attorno allo stesso.
( Fra l'altro figata quelli laterali col simbolone Autobot! )
Tumblr media
Anche il resto del corpo è messo bene ad articolazioni, con le braccia belle snodate e la testa con un po' di lasco anche per guardare su e giù: "interessante" il fatto di poter aprire i pugni muovendo le 4 dita all'unisono, un passo in avanti rispetto ai pugnoni fissi di Menasor dell'anno scorso, ma SENZA la possibilità di far sparire il foro per le armi, come nel meccanismo delle mani del Commander Siege Jetfire. Un po' rozza come soluzione, e non bellissima esteticamente, sopratutto pensando alle mani ben più snodate dell'altro Commander di quest'anno, Ultra Magnus Studio Series.
Tumblr media
Ed a proposito di paragoni, Super Op Armada è ben più basso di un altro collega col "super mode", ovvero Menasor appunto, di una testa abbondante, ma la differenza fra i due, a parte le proporzioni di testa e braccioni, sono le gambe, con le tibie non così lunghe rispetto alle coscione e quindi al torso, ma tutto sommato vista la trasformazione e combinazione, questa leggera sproporzione un po' ci sta e richiama le gambone dell'originale.
Tumblr media
Il robot comunque è solidissimo, e non è male come il modulo cingolato sia unito alla torso formandone la schiena, laddove nel modellino del 2003 era invece la più ballerina struttura a 2 piani della base ripiegata, ma un po' mi lascia perplesso la batteria di missili dietro di questa, che sì, ha senso che sia obliqua, ma forse era meglio se un po' si solleva pure SOPRA la testa, così come ( ufficiosamente ? ) la coda del "mantello" possa sollevarsi, dispiegare l'altra batteria con la canna rossa ed appoggiarla alla prima, ma anche qui, visto che l'arma può togliersi dal supporto, perchè non fare in modo da attaccarla pure in qualche altra parte, cosa non fattibile visto il foro dedicato di misura non standard?
Tumblr media
Tra l'altro alla base del modulo cingolato c'è pure un ulteriore foro grande che non combacia con quello dell'arma… servirà mica per un eventuale aggancio con un eventuale versione Generations di Overload… ? :O
Infine, finalmente un cavolo di Optimus con rimorchio e Super Mode, anche se non è ( almeno per me ) l'attesissimo G1 Powermaster, ma il Prime Armada meritava una versione migliorata e aggiornata a livello di articolazioni e magari un po' anche di estetica, anche se a venire sacrificata è la modalità di base, e un po' si chiude un occhio, un po' anche no dato che, vista la differenza di stazza rispetto agli altri colleghi della stessa classe, un po' di plastica per qualche dettaglio e / o accessorio magari poteva anche scapparci, così come la giocabilità e la resa dei due robot un po' fanno dimenticare anche l'assenza dello storico Minicon... un po', ma ci riescono, dai. ^^

PIGEON WIGS NEW MINI-ALBUM 'ROCK BY NUMBERS'
Cardiff’s PIGEON WIGS release their eagerly awaited mini-album ‘Rock By Numbers’. 
An amorphous box of tricks that shape-shifts between psych, blues and indie rock with seamless time-warping chic, the quintet are also pleased to present one of its standout moments: “Iron Dynamite”.
The final track to be spotlighted from the record, “Iron Dynamite” is a whimsical, merry-go-round of 60s-indebted psychelia to rival the Electric Prunes, Strawberry Alarm Clock, or frankly anything to be heard on the seminal ‘Nuggets’ compilation.
Revolving around a guitar lick as slick as a new pair of winkle-pickers on Carnaby Street in 1967, the riff was conjured by the band’s Louis Jugessur as he tried to emulate the vintage grooves of the hit ‘Mama Told Me Not To Come’ by fellow Pontypridd legend Tom Jones. Instantly plugging-in to its psychedelic vibe, frontman Harry Franklin-Williams assembled a kaleidoscopic spiral of words at once in-tune with the track and just a little removed from reality... As Harry explains:“Iron Dynamite is probably my favourite song of the record lyrically, Louis wrote such a psychedelic riff and I wanted to build on that as much as I could. I made a Jenga tower out of 60s-inspired metaphors and muso-nerd references that still never fails to put a smile on my face. The verses are swirling psych with a portion of madness while the chorus is much more your classic 60s pop lyrics, simple and direct but with my trademark cynicism at the end, “it’s just another line”.”
“Iron Dynamite” arrives hot on the heels of recent singles including the Rolling Stones saluting “Radiation Blues” and the wormhole whirlwind that is “Hold Up!”; drawing attention from the likes of Louder Than War, The Independent, The Rodeo, and The Line of Best Fit, with the latter praising “[Pigeon Wigs are] now in full force in bringing their vision to life: a hybrid, retro/futuristic, psychedelic-shaded sound.”
These singles are just the tip of a knickerbocker glory of delights waiting to be scooped out of their first mini-album release ‘Rock By Numbers’ (out today, via Clwb Music). Recorded before Pigeon Wigs had played a single gig, the duo of Jugessur and Franklin-Williams wrote the mini-album over the course of just a few weeks. Making for an impressively accomplished debut release that spans alternative rock references from across the ages, the band say they just wanted to “arrive on the scene fully-formed, like a baby with a moustache or furniture not from IKEA”. The 11-track record was produced and mixed by the esteemed Tom Rees of fellow Cardiff band Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.
Speaking about the mini-album on the day of its release, the band’s axeman-in-chief Louis Jugessur expresses: 
“It means a lot to release Rock By Numbers because it’s been in the pipeline for so long, we’ve had so many hurdles in the way but now it’s finally getting out there. I’m really proud of what we’ve written, it feels like one solid body of work where all the pieces fit together to paint a pretty lil picture”.
While frontman Harry Franklin-Williams adds: 
“Through a series of funding delays, rescheduling meetings, and global catastrophe we have waded, to be coming out on the other side is akin to drinking fresh water after being lost in the desert or that moment you realise both nostrils are clear after an especially bad cold. This is only the beginning, you ain't seen nothing yet."
PIGEON WIGS - UK LIVE DATES
AUGUST
05/08/23 - Newport, Le Pub headline
17/08/23 - Green Man Festival
25/08/23 - Shambala Festival
Newly sprung from the fertile soil of Cardiff’s blossoming music scene, Pigeon Wigs are a five-piece alt-rock band whose riff-laden fuzzy tones and melodic harmonies come crashing together to form a wild beast like no other. Tackling everything from social commentary to dysfunctional relationships and alien abductions, the band was born out of a writing partnership between Harry Franklin-Williams and Louis Jugessur and came to life when the pair “corralled some of Cardiff’s finest to record a new project”. 
Having already attracted glowing praise from the likes of BBC Introducing and BBC Radio Wales, Pigeon Wigs have gained glowing reviews from a range of alt-rock contemporaries such as Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard and Panic Shack who enthused: “all of Jagger’s love-children couldn’t write a better banger than this.”

This Week guest called “Feed the Fire” certainly know how to write a catchy riff. Their song “Haunted House” has been on my most played list for awhile. Here is the interview.
Tell us a little bit about Feed the Fire? Members, how did you get together etc?
We are a powerhouse trio playing our own brand of guitar driven rock music!!
We formed after another band we were all in was no longer really scratching our musical itch so to speak.
Whilst there was never any guarantee that us three would all end up in a band together again, the stars aligned and the rest is history.
What are you short and long terms goals?
For us I think that they are one and the same. To be continually getting better at our craft and writing the music we enjoy and getting it
out to as many people as possible be it via live shows or on line.
How was it dealing with the Covid Pandemic? Is everything back to normal?
We stayed as busy as we could. Our drummer built our studio. We continued to write and release more music and as soon as we could
we were out there playing live even though it was quite restricted and a bit strange for us to be playing to seated audiences, we definitely didn't lose any drive or love of doing what we do.
What is your career highlight so far?
We’ve been lucky enough to play alongside some pretty big Aussie bands that we look up to and have been on a few big festival stages as well.
Playing third headline at 'Caltowie Chilled Out and Fired up Festival' is definitely up there with some of the most fun we've had!
Your song “Haunted House” is my favourite of all your music releases. I listen to it a lot. What is it about and how did you come up with?
That was the first single off of our debut LP 'Maybe You Need This!?'
One of the main riffs in that song is one that had appeared in different guises in different songs over the years and finally found its home in Haunted House.
I don't really like to delve too much into what a song is about for fear of taking away from what it might mean to a listener. Suffice it to say, it was written whilst going through some dark times and heartache, much like the entire album its from.
Have you got any new music coming out? Or are you still recording?
We most certainly do and we most certainly are! We have one track that we recorded at the same time as our
last two singles 'SHAKE' and 'POLITICS' that will likely be our next release and it won't be too far off. We are currently writing for our second album.
Who are the greatest influences on you? Individually and as a band?
There are a whole lot and they are ever changing.
Individually:
Dan - Vocally it was always Chris Cornell and Axl Rose. For guitar if we go all the way back it was Billie Joe Armstrong, Darren Malakian, Chris Cheney, and Slash. But in more recent times its guys like Joe Bonamassa, Garry Morre and Marcus King.
Paul - Pantera, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath
Keeny - Black Sabbath
You'll find most of those mentioned in some part shaping the band and the songs we write.
If you could invite 4 musicians to dinner dead or alive) who would you invite?
Dan - Joe Bonamassa
Paul - Chris Cornell
Keeny - A couple of muso mates to round out the four
Any gigs coming up you want to promote?
ENIGMA BAR on July first with SISTERS DOLL!!!
If you were given the chance to support one artist in the world, who would you pick?
Dan - BIFFY CLYRO
Paul - STONE SOUR
Keeny - Any band that wants to take us the road and look after us so we can all have a good time bringing rock n roll to
the masses!!
If you were stuck on a deserted island with only one record, what would it be?
Dan - Bringing Down The Horse by The Wallflowers
Paul - Themata by Karnivool
Keeny - Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle
Where can people find out more about you?
Stopping short of giving out our home addresses you can find out all the goss on Feed The Fire via all the usual suspects.

June will surely be a terrific one for all of you #musos, a month of #festivals, #gigs, sunshine filled days where you will make new goals and try and be positive & #creative for the rest of the year. So bid goodbye May and welcome June! Here is to summer 🌞🎶🎙 02088839641 #studioflow #studiomusic #studiolife #musicstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CeN3vx4Ivxx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great gig last night @transit.rooftop for the (annual?!) Guitar Festival and some face melting blues. @carbonfuzz Shannon (not Shane!) Bourne and @kathleen.halloran.music plus @d.w.spencer and many other awesome muso’s. Great music, great venue, great night. Thanks heaps to Andy Swann for organising (can’t find your page) and @transport_hotel for putting it on. Hope we see the gig again next year. #blues #guitarfestival #facemeltingriffs #music #guitars #productionguitars #electricguitars #bespokeguitars #bespoke #handcrafted #luthierguitars (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChbLuRSrxl6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
