The Tommys - The Old Bar Fitzroy on Sunday January 14 2024
We played our last gig at the Old Bar in Fitzroy in December 2003. Our first reunion rehearsal early December was a cachopany of muscle memory gone wrong. Now we’re sounding loose and mean. Like being 18 again, “Oh the humanity”.

An old mate in Sydney offered me his house while he was OS for the final week of 2023. Been a long time between drinks. Loved the pubs, ferries and galleries.
