Five weeks late.....

.... but what the hey, better late than never. I finally got my St Patrick's Day celebration last night when Blackwater (the unlikely fusion of Black Cat Bone's playful frontman Des McGarry and the jazzy No Name Trio forming Beijing's newest band to specialise in Irish folk tunes) turned up to play at Jianghu. Great tunes, great times, and a lot of friends on hand too. However, it wasn't uncomfortably overcrowded, as the place has been on most of my recent visits (and despite there being no cover this time); I suppose the majority of the capital's music-lovers had gone to the Yushu Earthquake Charity Concert at Mako Live. I'm afraid I probably had a little bit too much to drink....


[To add to my musical delight this night, I discovered later that the Pool Bar now has the Squirrel Nut Zippers on its playlist!]
