I had a great time last week/weekend checking out shows, walking around with Brad and playing on Saturday night at Lee’s Palace. Overall it was a very positive experience. We had some notable people out to see us play. Morgan thought that he had a mediocre show, I felt confident with my performance, and I know the other guys felt good as well.
Speaking of the other guys, Saturday was Paul’s final official show with Birds of Wales. He’s playing with a band called “the Dunes” now, and we wish him luck.
Everyone should know that Paul leaving the band was a mutual decision, and as far as I know there aren’t any hard feelings between the band and him. Its been a great time playing with him, and he’s certainly taught me a lot, and I hope I was able to teach him some things as well.
We’re currently playing with a new drummer named Andy. He’s got a ton of experience playing with many notable famous/talented musicians, and we’re excited to see what he can bring to Birds of Wales. He’ll be joining us in the UK/Spain next month, as kind of final test to see if he’s the kind of guy we’re looking for the band.
