Stuartholme Spectacular!!

On June 19th 2008 we are scheduled to play a show at Stuartholme private girls School in Brisbane's west. I must say one of the strangest experiences I've had so far was appearing on the full school assembly with fellow band member, Andrew Stone. The idea was that Andrew and I would come along to assembly, show our faces and help promote the charity concert. Sounds like a good idea yeah?

Anyway, Andrew and I arrived at the school at about 12pm - which for all of you who haven't been to Stuartholme it's like something out of Harry Potter, a series of old and dark buildings buried in the misty mountains of Mt Cootha - and we were promptly ushered into the great auditorium by Madeline Gough and other members of the Interact club (a v cool club by the way!!). Andrew and I took our seats in the front row and bit-by-bit the great hall filled with 100s of girls.

Coming from an all boys school myself (can you guess which one??) I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it ended up being a really cool event. The girls from the Interact club did a really good job of introducing Andrew and I and we were interviewed briefly on stage which went quite well (except for me mis-hearing a question!).

I think the Stuartholme gig will go really well. It is a very nice school with lots of cool people who go there. School shows can be difficult for a number of reasons but I think this one might be the best yet..

Let's hope so...

John.
