Music Music Music...

We played the Duke and the Pelton recently and went down well, seemingly Gravesend is beckoning again so as soon as we get a positive we will post, we have added significantly to our dancey  numbers to such an extent that Bo from the Duke wants us to put one that went down well on a Deptford promotional sampler record that the Duke is producing... accolades and chapeuax as the french say.. wed like to play back at the Old Fountain and the Secret Garden again.. we always went down well there, and the British Oak has not been much of a feature this year.. who knows what 2014 will bring...  hopefully a few more gigs for the Los Dawsons!

Well its been a busy year...

Coming up to Christmas we are doing a couple of gigs at the Pelton the first Sunday in the month, we've had some good acts on... so into the new year with more on the list in the middle of the set.. we did a good gig at the Duke at Rons Speakeasy in October that went down well so hopefully we will repeat performances in the future 2014 forward.. to everyone that has come to see us - a resounding thank you and we will continue to announce gigs on Twitter as well as here..

Dean Powell remembered..

Deano -  Wreckage     What ya goin to do about it?    Handbags and Gladrags    Waterloo Sunset    Just give me a kind of sign...  

and I am absolutely certain I've missed a few..  we played a birthday in Camberwell and he joined us at Chu and Chos and the Pelton and many other places... over the years.. he wanted to sing and he loved Mod music, maybe it was his release from the boxing business - I don't know - but there were some big smiles when he performed... you will be missed... loads - our thoughts are with everyone who knew him...  especially Lisa and the family...

The Dawsons and 2013

As we are ramping up for gigs this year, we are changing the complexion of our most established gig: The Pelton is going to me a more collaborative experience!  We are inviting musicians to open mic the set in the middle, and then sit-in in the final set: last month we had a couple of performers join us: Leon Tilbrook sang two songs, then his father Glenn joined us, as did David and Loader for some lovely soul songs and a Dr Feelgood song for Wilko as part of our goodwill living memorial initiative for Wilko Johnson; so far 5 songs and counting: 30 yards behind (twice), roxette, she does it right and back in the night...  Riot in cell block number 9 next or down by the jetty?
