    The Little Airship goes gigging ....

    Only a handful of pics I'm afraid ...
    Last night we played our annual concert for the church at the back of us. We do it every year to help them raise much need money for their restoration fund.
    So our little airship came along for its first, albeit small, adventure.
    It made more friends b4 we left the house


    and more in the church as people were arriving


    Setting up ... we had a screen at the back playing animated cartoons as we played a selection of Irish Beer drinking songs ... the church was full and everyone joined in




    Then we did the gig


    Then it was time to put the main lights on and pack up .. but first


    Tomorrow will be the little airships first major adventure ... a full day out.
    I will post pics up monday.

    Good to see the wee ship is having a grand time in Wales. Looking forward to more.

    Where I come from, gigging is when you go out into the rivers and collect frogs with a gig (a really long, barbed fork).

    That's cool!
    Things I've learned in life:
    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.

    Derek,

    You are certainly making the most of her time in Wales!

    And after it has finished with the tour of the juice, jam, and jelly factory I hope she sees some of the beautiful Welsh countryside!

    (Sorry Dirk, it was too funny to pass up!)

    Cheers

    Jamie,

    Actually, Welch is correct in terms of spelling; the most famous example is the Royal Welch Fusilier Regiment.
