Hi all, well I finally got the pics off the camera and resized them.. Thought Id share some on here, hope you enjoy...

With my main band 'Son Veneno' ( http://sonveneno.com/ ) we flew to New Zealand for a series of gigs in Auckland and Rotorua for the Jambalaya Festival 2006. Details here:

Anyway, we rocked the joint like no other! Beautiful place, friendly generous people and great music!

Hope you enjoy the pics...


These were the congas provided for me by the Festival/Tour promoters.. 3 x wood TOCA. Very impressed by these drums.
