We’ve been invited to a wedding at the end of the month, and I’m certainly looking forward to meeting all the bride and groom’s friends.
The happy couple are well ensconced in Perth’s thriving music scene, specializing in swampy, bluesy, romantic rock sounds.
Known as ‘Cat Black’ they’ve surrounded themselves with other ‘hip’ fashion designers, publishers, writers, artists and musicians and I can’t wait!
From first hearing Emma (lead singer/writer) play the penny whistle we brought her back from Ireland, to buying a copy of her first CD, I’ve watched she and partner Ryan (lead guitar) follow their bliss and explore where their talent takes them.
Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder watched the band, was wowed by Ryan and Emma, stayed for the whole session and asked for copies of their CDs. The band was invited backstage for Pearl Jam‘s concert the following night to hand them over.
I know the wedding will be beautiful and different, inspired by art, fashion and music – a veritable feast for any poet and writer.
I’ll certainly have my mental notebook pages open.
