19 November 2024 Brisbane: The Lord Mayor's Concert with the Inadequate Band

 


The Tuesday free concerts at the City Hall are in full swing.  We missed last week as we had been flying all night long.  This concert was well attended and was rather fun.  The Inadequate Band was everything but inadequate.  A trio playing accordion, acoustic guitar and mandolin or banjo, they played original songs as well as some country, some bluegrass and a Crowded House tune to top it all off.  Had they any CD's to sell, we would probably have one now. They are due to record their first album in a month or so.  We had sushi afterwards and then took the bus home in the rain. We took the 199 which let us off by Coles so we were able to stop in at a tiny tea store.  We talked about tea with Hanna and got to pet the store dog, Lupin.  Lots of fun!  We then headed back at the house for some more fun.  We cooked up the kangaroo meat in a stuffed peppers dish.



The tree is going up


We have made it to the City Hall


The dome is all lit up


We are early but the place is set up for a big crowd


The band was called the Inadequate Band


We thought they were more than Adequate, they were great


Accordion, guitar and either the mandolin or the banjo.  An odd mix but it worked just fine


They brought out the MC who was also a friend to sing "Tennessee Girl"


The USS Blackfin was a submarine


An odd kind of plaque is this to hang up in City Hall.  It is from the Vendetta Veterans Association and is from veterans that served on the HMAS Vendetta


We loved this tea shop, this is Hanna that she, her sister and her Mom run


Lupin the dog


Mr. Curry is on fire!
