Hello all Jig surfers, Liz here & we are finally back home in Sydney again &
gearing up for shows in 2005. We had a ball launching the LIVE album in NSW
& hopefully we'll take it interstate pretty soon. We've already been
confirmed to do the Wintermoon festival this year so other Queensland
performances will definitely take place late April. The album is now
available on the Folktrax website & will soon be available through CD Baby &
Trad & Now.
New Years saw us returning to New Zealand for the Whare Flat Festival just
outside of Dunedin & what a beautiful venue!
We
had great performances & made so many new friends including the amazing
Maori singer/songwriter Mahinarangi Tocker (featured at this years
Womadelaide) & Dunedin's finest & quirkiest muso's The Chaps. Here's a photo
of one of the after festival party's where Greg bonds with our current tour
mascot- Pupster:
I have a bunch of really lovely photos of us performing over there but
unfortunately, left them in Melbourne :( You can however find them amongst a
whole lot of festival images at http://www.kiwifolk.com/andrewmackay/
[look for Greg's primal scream - ed]
Speaking of Melbourne that's the other piece of major news for Jigzag. I'm
moving to Melbourne in May which will make touring perpetually as we have
done in the past impossible, so shows in Sydney & surrounding areas won't be
as regular. So join our mailing list by e-mailing me at liz@jigzag.com &
you'll know exactly when our tours are happening & where & you won't miss
any shows.
Anyhow I'll leave you with Handy Hint No.12. Don't sneeze when someone is
cutting your hair.
