"across the ditch" - @ The Boroughs! - 18 September 2009

. . . following duo performances with the exciting kiwi harp player, Haggis Maguiness, at both the Bay of Islands Jazz & Blues Festival in NZ and the Sunshine Coast Blues festival, here in Queensland - the multi Award winning restaurant on Scarbrough Beach, 'Boroughs' proved to be a great venue for a final show before Haggis made his way to the airport early the next day. A very memorable night!
