Friday evening saw us, with some friends, beetling along the road to The Plymouth Pavilions. The Beuna Vista Social Club were in town. Very few big name bands get into Cornwall as it is geographically such along way from the rest of the world on the peninsula. That is changing slowly as The Eden Sessions do bring bigger names here these days and this hopefully will increase.
Two hours,no interval, of lively Cuban jazz music was a great way to spend an evening. It was vibrant and a huge amount of fun.
I realise that it is not necessary to see big names and that the lesser known musicians can give every bit as much fun, but the big names should to be seen if the opportunity arises. I think every chance to experience live music is worth every minute. Big names, small names, new names it is all good.
We got back home and had coffee to complete a good evening and P. found some crumpets whch we toasted with butter..........yum. A great evening shared with good friends.We all had had a great time.

Hey Kissa i thought i'd wander into your blog after you wandered into mine.All things Finnish, now that's different.
I sympatise with the music situation, although the Isle Of Man is getting better at attracting bigger names, I also agree with you about local talent. We have some really good pub bands here, along with specialist Manx music events and The Laxey Blues Festival. Think mini Glasotonbury and you're there.
babooshka: Great to see you. There are so many festivals these days and so much music.
Now those I do know - and I love them, too!
