Back performing...

...Post Covid gigs - after seemingly ages we have just completed a set of three performances at the Old Mill Plumstead, Eltham Park North Parkfest, and the Pelton Sunday Session - all of which have been well attended and we have been received very well too..  We are out and about again, the next performance of the usual varied lively material will be outside Charlton House in the Community Festival  Friday 10 September at 1.30pm - any of you would like us to perform dont hesitate to get in touch... email thelosdawsons@gmail.com

Well it has been too long posting here, I have been writing a new album of music for the Roswell Imps (now nearly completed) and playing a few gigs with Dennis Greaves... I have been urged by a few people to start doing some more Los Dawsons gigs - so with that in mind watch this space...

2014 - the year so far..

Well we have been fairly busy, we have played a few festivals and we are still running the open mic at the Pelton Arms in Greenwich - which in my opinion  is the best live music pub in Greenwich. Notable wonderful musicians who have sat in over the last year include Emma Jane, Mancie Baker and Graham Okey to name a few and any I have not included here will be on a roll of honour here at Christmas as there are too many great acts to put in this posting alone..

Blimey its 2014

Well were doing a few gigs, and weve had some great people joining us over the last few months, we are still running the bit in the middle and it works well most of the time - we need more musicians to sit in with - you lot are not usually backwards in coming forward.. any way we have a couple of gigs coming up - try and see us if you can.. next gig features Jim Kimberley on sticks who is awesome ( Bruise, William Topley, Mish Mash Band, and Knopfler and Squeeze back in the day..) so we are looking forward to that - Dana is filming so the grease paint beckons.. we are hoping that our mate Dennis Greaves will join us and maybe a few other associates - its like a party  Im going to spring some unusual numbers on people  too I think, and next week we are at the awesome Duke which is a great pub and they like Dancing - hopefully Dave Suich from the ukes can make it down - we like like him as well...

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...
