February & March saw Gus back playing with new(ish) band Stretch ‘n’ the Truth, which were getting together for the Adelaide Festival, plus a few warm-up gigs before hand. The band is the brainchild of Steve “Stretch” Teakle, and playing his songs are a crack line-up of musos, including Ekki Velhiem on violin, Phillip Rex on double bass, Jimmy Watson on drums, and Nara Demasson on guitar. We had a gig in the Speigletent, which went great, but because of it’s poor timeslot late on a sunday night didn’t pull so many punters. Festival Director Paul Grabovski was there, however, and enjoyed it so much he booked us for another gig later on in the festival, so we flew back for an encore performance. Very Rock ‘n’ Roll!
