All I can say is it was unbelievable, I haven't heard anything like that in the 12 years I have been on Lamma - what were we listening to? It was so powerful. That's all I can say.
Amazing stuff. Just amazing.

I agree with that Sausage that it was a good gig, unusual too, because it seemed to be original songs up until the end when guests took to the stage - great version of Hey Joe by Dan of The Bastards, by the way. You know, I see that guy who wears the black some nights on the 6.40 ferry and I had no idea he could play guitar like that. All the guys in that band play really well. They were very tight.

Once criticism though. The PA system in the Island Bar might be OK for pub quizzes but it ain't up to a gig like that. That guy's singing was great, but it was kind of muffled through the speakers and the further back you were, the worse it got. Not a major gripe but I thought it needed saying.

Other than that, though, a top night.

The Red Star kept rising Saturday night, this time in the Deli Lamma. However, there was a moment of worry when the Deli was still virtually empty at 9.30pm. Where was the big Saturday night party crowd?

But soon after the man without black nail varnish and his band took to the stage the place was really rocking, and by midnight rolling in great party mood too. Good to see Steve belting it out again with guest comrade Hamada from Overadogma for Barbaran (excuse spelling) and other numbers.

There were encores for what have quickly become old favourites – Man from Ma On Shan, Last Ferry to Lamma and Shopping Malls, but new stuff too. Let’s Wash the Dogs is one for those real men occasionally seen sheepishly leading five preened toy dogs down the Lamma high street – what they do for love. Steve and Hugh have given us a great Lamma shaggy dog tale in this one!
