Paul Greene is an old friend of Lisa's from her Glebe days via Jervis Bay, and he's recently moved back to the latter with his family - hence I guess the focus on more country gigs on his website of late. Paul's also a very accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist, about to put his next album - so this gig was also about giving his fans a taste of what to expect from the new record. I'd never been to the Yallah before, and being a city boy I have to admit I was expecting to be underwhelmed by the venue. I was very pleasantly surprised then to find the Yallah wasn't the run-down tin-roofed shed full of surly country-folk that I was expecting it to be. Tin-roofed - yes. Run down - no. Think warm-hued, freshly varnished timber and high ceilings. The food was pretty good too. Granted, by the time we'd arrived from Sydney after our 3 hour drive the kitchen had run out of the 'home-made pies' and the tandoori chicken, but if the 'buffalo wings' we both ended up settling for were anything to go by, their chef definitely knows what he's doing. The bar staff and other patrons seemed pretty friendly too, nary a true 'bogan' in sight, at least not that night.]]> http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/10/29/paul-greene-yallah-roadhouse-gig/feed/ 0 http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/06/20/transit-ink-wine-country/ http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/06/20/transit-ink-wine-country/#comments Mon, 20 Jun 2005 06:30:25 +0000 Disappearing Boy http://www.petermolak.com/Blog/Main/?p=82 http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/06/20/transit-ink-wine-country/feed/ 7 http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/02/08/gunpowder-treason-plot/ http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/02/08/gunpowder-treason-plot/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 Disappearing Boy http://petermolak.com/Blog/?p=50 Peregrine) with IG @ The Empire in Annandale. FYI Mark - sorry, I thought this was the Annandale Hotel going under a wankier name, but it was actually a different venue, so I hope you and your tan courderoy pants had a good night anyway ! Now, speaking of the venue I must confess I thought this place was a bit 'divey'. Not as bad as the Century Tavern on George St. of course, but certainly not as nice as The Annandale itself. They didn't even have Carlton on tap, so I had to settle for a few schooners of Becks. At least they had real schooners and not schmidis !]]> http://3z3r0.net/troyl/2005/02/08/gunpowder-treason-plot/feed/ 8
