…Saturday afternoon [2 Feb] was pretty much an Alt-Country Party. Wellington’s The Family Cactus did lovely things with three guitars, two organs, lots of voices and swathes of check cotton and gingham. It was super splendid to see Cassette again, now with the addition of Andrew Bain on bass and a giant furry growth on Dave Fraser’s chin, and the astounding Steve Abel and the Chrysalids. They had accordion and double bass and the most amazing songs. Even more delicious than the dinner party that Jenni and I had that evening. And our dinner was pretty damn good…
