Askari Afrobeat Orchestra

Monty — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:55:30 +0000

The Askari afrobeat orchestra is one of the bands I play in regularly around the Perth metropolitan area. We are a 13 piece band, yes that is big, that have been brought together by a common love for African music, particularly the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen. Since forming in 2009 we have […]

It Can’t Be Done

Mike Haydon — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:54:02 +0000

One of my favourite poems as a kid was “It Can’t Be Done” from William J Bennet’s A Book Of Virtues: The man who misses all the fun Is he who says, “It can’t be done.” In solemn pride he stands aloof And greets each venture with reproof. Had he the power he’d efface The […]

BXVI Through To The Grand Final

Mike Haydon — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:15:41 +0000

BXVI fought through all sorts of adversity to win the semifinal against Floreat Frogs and secure their place in the Grand Final. While it was not the fault of the players who were sick or injured (one of whom *cough* Dave Haydon *cough* took flu tablets before the game), it would have been good for […]

BXVI Crushes the Spirit of the Frogs… Again

Mike Haydon — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:52:16 +0000

For the third time in a season, BXVI played fourth placed Floreat Frogs. Within the first 5 minutes, BXVI had banged in 4 goals, stunning the Frogs. It was a period when the team just clicked together. Mike (from goals) and Melis (from defence) provided the impetus for the string of quick goals. Melis cut […]

BXVI Punishes Misbehaving Frogs

Mike Haydon — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 04:32:10 +0000

It was meant to be a bye for BXVI this week. A bye that many in the team looked forward to, to recover from injuries, have a night off, take a well earned break. However, it was not to be. Tom Cats, who you remember from an earlier report are not terribly good, forfeited for […]

Laddles Summarily Dealt With

Mike Haydon — Thu, 28 May 2009 09:46:09 +0000

Last night, top placed BXVI played third from bottom Laddles and the game went pretty much as expected. Laddles aren’t a bad team. When they are warming up they look good, they look dangerous. Some of their guys have very powerful kicks. The girls move like soccer players. But when the game starts, you realize […]
