Back at the Hibo’s!

We’ve been neglecting the blog again, we know. Here’s a quick update from this past weekend.

We played again last Friday at the AOH in Bristol, PA. It started with a huge thunder storm rolling in right as we got there. Complete with lightening bolts & hail. We’ve played so many times in the last few weeks during thunderstorms, it’s beginning to become routine. At least this time we weren’t playing outside. Unfortunately, Barry couldn’t make this one, so we were going to be a four piece with Jim Fowler filling in on whistle. Brian couldn’t make it, last minute, [read: forgot we were playing. Sorry Brian, couldn't resist the dig ] so we went on as a three piece. We can quickly transform into a folk trio when need be.  That was until an added surprise of guest fiddle player, Joe (Edit: from Tom. I was told it was Tom, I swear!) from Bensalem. He came up and sat in with us for a good portion of the show. And good God! It was fantastic. Hopefully he will be joining us again in the future.

Now for the rest, some bad, so those who may get queasy, stop now. You’ll thank me.

First some reviews from FB. The names have been changed to protect the innocent:

“…had such a brilliant time last night…” -Seattle Sun Times

” LOVIN the B6 tonight! Great Show!” -Larry King (CNN)

“…thinks her husband made a mess.” – Sioux City Gazette

And in other news, a photo has surfaced of some between set ‘activity’. Paul was…well…you can see for yourself…

There are no words...

And I’ll leave you with that disturbing image. I know…you’re welcome!

P.S. We were able to get our personalized Facebook web page. It’s easier to find us now. Check us out at http://www.facebook.com/birminghamsix.

EDIT: I wanted to edit this and add the copy of my Twitter feed from the night so you can see exactly what time the horrible event occurred. Now you know why you felt a little nauseous right as Conan was coming on…

Getting ready to leave for the show. Lookin forward to a good night. Plus, I need a beer…6:36 PM Jun 26th

1st set done. Wow that went well. Joe, the fiddle player joined us. It never sounded so good. I think we were missing that & didn’t know 9:50 PM Jun 26th

Second set down. Even better than the first. Joe rocked the fiddle. Gerry thought twittering was a word for something dirty.11:04 PM Jun 26th

It’s just before the third set and Paul is breast feeding one of the people at the bar.11:36 PM Jun 26th

Done for the night. Great show. No drums, no electric guitar, but add tin whistle & a fiddle and you get the Birmingham Sampler. Good night!12:32 AM Jun 27th
