Hi James! Really enjoyed playing at Paddywhacks the other night. I've been travelling for 2 months without a guitar so it was great to finally get my fix!! I'm leaving for Melbourne tomorrow but if I'm ever back in Cairns I will definitely be returning to Paddy's. Good luck with everything.
thats great news and you know if i am in cairns i will be there with bells on and Paddy whacks has great food and service and friendly staff. but yes Thursdays and Fridays will find me in Sheild Street when i am visiting cant wait to get back - as for the Isa well we have just as much rain as you mob there in North Qld as our creeks and causeways are flooded and everything is so damp here but we needed the rain and our dams are overflowing catching barra by hand here in the isa we dont need fishing lines and bait we just collect them as they come over the spill way as they are floating belly up from the stunn of the fall and tired from trying to swimm back up stream lol.
Come say hello and wave goodbye to the Flumes, as this is probably the last Flumes show in Townsville for a while before they trek south to the to the Sunshine Coast.
