I’ve played with Damion Stirling on and off for over 15 years and have cemented a firm friendship with us and Elizabeth Walton based on shared love of Organics/Social Justice/Environment and Good music on percussion [African and Traps].
Damo played and gave us an African Blessing at our wedding and we have kept in regular contact over the years. We love him!
Imagine my good fortune to have his percussion group ‘Beatmeisters’ announce a gig just down the road from us at Murrah Hall on Sat Jan 31 when I don’t have one of my regular solo and acoustic coast gigs. I made contact and he was keen to get me up on the Timbales, which we used to do with Benji and the Saltwater Soundsystem a few years back.
Suffice to say we had an awesome time and Elizabeth Walton came along for a boogie and brought her flash canon camera and caught some of the action with her wonderful photography!! I slotted in after a few listens to their Soundcloud rehearsals and was immediately taken by the 2 young flamenco guitarists [Thomas and ??] who gave it a samba flair. Great night and a great way to catch up with Damo!!!t
Thanks to Elizabeth Walton for the fantastic photography!!
