Hanging with the Habits

So rarely is my name spelt correctly!


Thought it about time for another post, and since this Saturday I have something new to share with you! I met the amazing and friendly duo Daniel and Lasca who make up the band, The Habits, during the Chocolate Fest music competition in Latrobe this July.
They expressed their interest in having me play my harp at a gig they were planing to hold in the beautiful Devonport Regional Art Gallery.

Blasting out the tunes


Escaping the house where for the last week I had dwelt in sickness! I braved the half flooded roads between Sheffield and Devonport.
It was a nice and casual evening, with a good turn out and I enjoyed it immensely. The acoustics in the converted church were amazing! sadly though that meant that at times I was in competition with the some what rowdy crowd. Yet still felt appreciated, and received many aggressively encouraging and kind comments though-out what was a hugely amusing night.

The wonderful duo 

As most my time is spent street performing, I learnt a lot observing how the gig was run, and the musicianship, skill and style of 

The Habits as they engaged and entertained the crowd.

All in all it was a grand experience. Keep an eye open for these two! they are already climbing the charts on TripleJ and I have no doubt we will be seeing more of them in the years to come.

Many thanks to James for coming along and snapping some photos for us.
