Here's Simon

Here is Simon the cockatiel.  He is a regular grey, aged one.  I rehomed him last week from a private house in Southampton.  He's a funny little character, loves to whistle and sing and chat away at times too.  He is super friendly, but could do with being tamed up some more.

Peter White at The Concorde Club

Last night was a really fun night at the Concorde Club, with Peter White and his band.  This is the third year that I have seen them play; all fantastic musicians, and a great evening was had by a packed enthusiastic audience.  They played for two and a half hours and were really enjoying themselves, as you can probably see from some of the photos!










This is Joe "Bongo" Beckett - he is a world class percussionist - just a shame I couldn't get a decent photo of him
