So who wants to know about Pissouri Blues Festival.

[Rick]

well, it went incredibly well.
the whole thing was brilliant.
i'm hoping that paul will step in and add his 2 pence worth to this as well.

the actual day of the event went so smoothly, started with woodford who instantly won the crowd over, and moved to pauls acoustic set, then finally onto stammy, sergie and paul.

feedback received was very very positive, except one crazy lady eh paul..
She's since been humainly destroyed.

anyway i'll add stuff to this thread as soon as i have it sorted.

it seems paul is going to be lined up for a small tour of cyprus at some point probably early next year.

i have plenty of audio and plenty of video so it'll all be available very soon.
Also i believe there will be a cd available (when paul mixes it)

Glad it all went well Rick. I am sure that is down to all the hard work that you and the crew put in. Well done mate.

Maybe be next year I will make it over.

Glad to hear it went well Rick I can't wait to come next year...I have forwarned my patient that has a villa in Pissourri that we want it next year.

I have a funny feeling I told my mate Darren the festival was Sunday and he and his RAF buddies may have missed it oops!!

[zombo]

It must have been the hit Rick I wish I could of been there if I hadnt of had the move here to England then I would of made Rock history by being there!
Any chance of some pics Rick ?
You must be shattered after all of that !

[bigdoug]

yeah great stuff Rick, well done to you for putting it all together and I too will try and be there next year :thumb:
but we want to hear about the crazy woman!!!!

[ZappaFan]

LOL. Yeah good point BigD !!!! Who is this mad woman ????

[Rick]

it was some odd woman who said paul shouldn't have bothered explaining why his strat was going out of tune in 30c and 85% humidity.

said he was being negative, as she walked away there was a big old "wtf was all that about" from everybody.

the fact that his strat even played was amazing, when he opened the flight case it was like somebody had put the guitar in the shower

[Danny Danzi]

[Stempy]

Greek or geek? :lol: Sound like we all missed a cracking do. Did ya get any lessons or tips from Paul while you had him in your grasp? Are you gonna do a DVD?

[zombo]

I guess I am just jealous that I wasn't there ahhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!

[Blue]

Great pics Rick. Beautiful place and what a venue! I half expected to see David Gilmour playing with his shirt off when I clicked on the ampitheatre ones.

[kaz]

we got plenty of audio and video from 2 angles.
rick just needs to make his pc work properly and he'll be able to sort it all out.

[HappySinner]

I'm with Danny - Looks like a great place to play! :-)
Glad it went well, mate - that means there must be a Pissouri 2008! :mrgreen:
