The first "gig"...

The concert was pretty good. There were about 7 or 8 levels of guitar players, from kids, beginners and intermediate, to advanced and classical. K went up in the first group of beginners (they split us into 2 groups, as there were about 15 of us). Her songs included Let it Be and Knocking on Heavens Door. My group went up second, and we did Stand By Me and Wonderful Tonight.
To be honest, I don't remember much about the actual playing - it was over in no time at all. Was really interesting to see the progression of skill from one course to the next, and encouraged us to seriously think about doing the next level. For me, the next level is a must - its a forced practice once a week.
The event took place at a pub called "Millhouse", up the road from Kyalami. Forgot the camera at home, so don't have any pictures, but Gillian (who also played in our group) took her camera, so will try and get some pics. Nothing glamorous...but proof of playing live nonetheless.
