It’s been a momentous couple of weeks in the DV8 camp. Firstly our outdoor gig at Burwood Bowling Club was a huge and well-attended day with well over 1000 people coming out. Lots of money was raised for Charlie, the young girl with cancer, through auctions and various fundraising. At last count the figure was approaching $95, 000. Great music was heard from Anna’s School of Music, Club Esky and Ghost Road. I really enjoyed having my full guitar/amp rig turned up and miked through the PA and Trav and Mark put in a tight powerful performance on bass and drums. It was great to see the young kids getting excited and dancing onstage with us as well as the ‘older kids’ dancing on the lawn out front. After doing one encore it felt as though we could have just kept playing on. Thanks for the enthusiastic response everyone.
On a sad note last week also marked the passing of one of DV8’s greatest supporters and admirers Rosalie McKibben…It would have been her birthday on November 14th when we played the Wicko so it became a celebration in her honour. Thank you to all who came and remembered her. We’re back at the Wicko on Saturday January 10th 2015.
We’ll be rocking at the Mark Hotel on Sunday November 30th. It’s the last 2014 DV8 show before NYE at Warners at the Bay. May the Rock Be With You ! Greg 🙂
