We had a great day at the Bridge Hotel launch of Chinese Girl On The Double Bass. Silver Spaceship were fabulous, Dan's Diner whipped up a storm and the final set with Dan's Diner, Harpo and Silver Spaceship all joining in was a winner.
A highlight was duelling harps in Nadine.
The Bridge is a great hotel with many acts performing regularly.

Recently Dan's Diner played at the 4th Steel and Slide Guitar Night in Sydney appearing with dobro and lap steel guitarist Gary Brown and his band as well as Stephanie Marchant and her band the UGLY TRUTH. It was a great night and all bands were well received. A long video was taken of the night and here are three of Dan's Diner's performances to enjoy.
The first is a cover of the Johnny and Santo song Sleep Walk a favourite of Dan's and his many fans.
The second is 3rd Class Train To Calcutta a Dan original written about, clearly, his experiences on a 3rd class train trip in India.
And finally a song by the late great David Lindley who Dan supported some years ago when David and Ry Cooder toured Australia. The song is Mercury Blues.
