My boys started this band with friends about a year ago. They practise regularly and have had several gigs. Willy (on the right) writes the music on the computer, and then Chris (my son, second from left) puts melody and words over the top. Tim (my younger son is second from the right) plays bass and sings harmony. Chris is the lead singer and also plays guitar.

Their most recent gig was at Parachute - a Christian music festival over Anniversary weekend just out of Hamilton. They played on the Debut stage there and did a really good job. The enthusiastic audience was admittedly made up lof mostly family and friends. They have several more gigs coming up in the next few weeks.

Family

Finally, an update of our family photo.

The sad part is that my daughter is going flatting this weekend for the first time and so she will be leaving home. We will really miss her, but she is so excited about the flatting experience. She is flatting with her two closest friends, who are both lovely girls and they have been looking forward to this for ages. The good news is that she is still in Auckland, so we will get to see her (we hope) frequently.

Our boys are both still at high school - and so on holiday at the moment. This photo was taken on Christmas Day.
