I don't have many pics (only one, in fact!) of Damien from this night as I was concentrating on video, but here it is along with a couple of others to set the scene. The Annandale Hotel is an old inner city Sydney pub where a lot of up and coming live bands play. The host was saying on stage he was thrilled to have Damien and all the other bands there that night for the benefit show for foodwatershelter.org.auHere is the pub itself:    Damien (when he was just about to leave the stage, I took a quick pic so we would have one)  This guy was on before Damien, he's from the Honey Palace and did a great set. I wanted to show you all his guitar, it had gorgeous hand drawn pics all over it   And here are Things of Stone and Wood. They did their set after Damien and put on a great show as well. So many great performers that day/night. Will be back with vids later and will add some stories to the other thread about the show itself and the songs VIDEOS: Waiting on an Angel Shine Like the Sun Cold Cold Heart |

Thanks Carla, Roxy & Trilly, and lol yes, sorry the story is split up a bit between the 2 threads, I'll repost the set list here too Damien's Set list: Shine Like the Sun 22 Steps Waiting on an Angel Cold Cold Heart All I Want is You Here's the first video I've been able to upload, hope you all enjoy Waiting on an Angel  Oh it's so beautiful, and considering the context, absolutely heartbreaking.  Darren's 2 brothers and many of his friends were in the audience watching. Will be back later on with a proper report and more vids  |

So glad you enjoyed it Roxy! I loved it too, it's a great tune.  That's Paul Gray singing, he was doing the harmonies that song from very close range, was nice hearing him singing again B/f gets right into all music but doesn't often sing along, he's more one for getting into the beat of it and grooves along tapping his hand and foot  Lol at least I'm not wailing away singing in the background, am trying so hard not to sing along so I don't wreck the recordings  |
