No, I don't have pictured of DrKev naked ... :D

Last Sunday, with my little family we went to Lardy (a small town in the south of the suburbs of Paris) in order to see our own DrKev with his band (Downtown Merry Legs).
We arrived early so we have the opportunity to see the sound check (all the photos and videos were taken by my 12 years old daughter) :

Kevin and Michelle (his white Silo) ...

After that, the pub started to be overcrowded ... in fact it was completely full. Just a small video (my daughter is 1m60 tall, thus it's not easy to film without filming the heads of the crowd !) :

Kevin need a bigger amp. We didn't hear him enough (can you kill the violin please ;) ?). Next time, just tell me, I will carry my Blues DeVille (my band plays much much louder than Kevin's band :eek:).

We had to go after the first set (kids have to go to school), but we had a few minutes for a chat :

(yes the guy with a serial killer face next to Kevin, it's me ...).
And I gave him a kiss :D (Friday it was his birthday).

A very nice evening, those bloody Irishmen know how to do good music !

It was great to meet Francois and his family. I am so pleased that they made the journey out. Nice to see some photos of my buttercream Michelle! The bar owners, Gilou and Corrine, are wonderful people and playing at "Le Pelican" is like visiting family.

Shame about the sound problems during the first set but they were fixed for the second set and things were much more comfortable. Shame you missed it Francois, the second set had some amazing violin playing from Melissa (who is one of the best I have ever worked with), my buddy Martyn Mulhere joined us for some songs, and everyone could hear my Michelle just perfectly!

A great pleasure to meet you, thank your daughter for the photos and video, and once more, thank you for coming out! Hopefully I'll get to see your band soon too!

A great evening for us. My wife & kids had a great time.
Melissa plays very well but the violin was a bit too much in the mix (it was louder than the lead voice).
My daughter took a lot of photos (a bit fuzzy ...) and videos. If you want I can send them to you.
Le Pelican is a nice place with a lot of choice for beer ... but a bit small for my band (we play loud ... :eek: really loud :eek:).

Thanks again for the show
