that's not a jolly boat ... that's the captain's gig

[reverancepavane]

Upcoming musical events of possible interest to Adelaideans with similiar musical tastes: Sunday January 28: The Gov once again hosts The Idea of North, that internationally acclaimed acapella group from Canberra (with one ex-Adelaidean). Their live performances are always great to go to because of their stagecraft and the great fun they have in performing - it's contagious. Besides, it is the only place you'll hear most of their comedic pieces, which to my mind, are the height of the show. 7pm for a 7:30pm start, although The Gov will probably be serving dinner in the gig as normal from 6pm. $28/$22 (Venuetix or The Gov for Dinner/Show packages). Saturday Febuary 10: Adelaide pagan-folk-rock group Spiral Dance and Melbourne's ethereal post-dram-pop group Dandelion Wine are playing a gig at The Night Train on Light Square. This will have a Grimm's Faerie Tale theme, so come as your favourite faerie tale character. Hmmmm. I wonder how many Lady Godivas there will be. Maybe I should come as the Emperor so that people can enjoy my new ensemble [only joking!]. $10 entry, 10pm until late. Sunday Febuary 11: Didn't hear enough of them last night? Or simply scared by the possibility I might turn up in that costume? Then come see Spiral Dance and Dandelion Wine play at the Cafe Nova in Gawler from 2 - 5pm. $10 entry. Saturday Febuary 17: Spiral Dance and Dandelion Wine are playing at The Spanish Club in Fitzroy. Yep. That's in Melbourne, which is why this listing has been coloured a suitably stormy grey. EDIT: It looks like Wendy Rule is also on the line-up of this gig. And I wonder if Dandelion Wine knows what they are in for .... I've heard the last infamous Spiral/Wendy concert... Still no sign of The Merlin Bird wanting to tour Adelaide, but we live in hope.
