Bahouki get gold!!!

I thought it might be of interest to you that Lamma band, BAHOUKI won the Tom Lee "soundbase" competition in the Ko Shan theatre last week. This was a music festival to find Hong Kong's best acoustic band...and we won! Bringing it home to Lamma indeed. You can get a hold of some photos at the Tom Lee website, though when I tried to find that link today it was gone. I'll send you a photo anyway.

Also our instrumentalist, Olie Quinn from Ireland, joint won best individual performance...so all in all a nice night's work.

We re-arranged an old song called "Istanbul, not Constantinople" dressed up in giant fezes and pretty much brought the house down. We were also the only non-Chinese finalists out of 77 bands, the members were:

John Hutton (lead vocals and guitar)
Oliver Quinn (Bazouki, Bodhran, Low whistle, backing vocals)
Dave Green (Acoustic Bass, backing vocals)
