playing live

Last Saturday the streets were pumping with live music, street theatre and happy crowds of people. It was the day of the Cuba Street Carnival and my wife had us a schedule. We first enjoyed the performance of a group of musicians who had formed just for the carnival. They were called 'The Yoots'. Very cool retro look and sound with lots of brass. They finished their set with a rendition of 'Egyptian Reggae'. I liked their style. They said this has worked and we will be seeing them again. My wife said we should see 'The Mint Chicks'. "Good stage act" she said. It is now apparent to both of us that we will never be eighteen again. There is a generation gap. Here is a photo of 'The Mint Chicks' performing.
