Open mic night at Grace Emily went really well. Did 3 songs - All my tears, Pen & See the world.

Stay tuned for the next event...

We're going to be playing at the Grace Emily Hotel, 232 Waymouth St in the city tonight as part of "Billy Bob's BBQ Jam".

Demo finished!

Great news!

Our demo recording is finished and now we need to go out and promote it....

Andy at Soundfarm was the recording engineer and helped us with production. A very useful guy!

Stay tuned for upcoming gigs.

PS. Here's some video stills from the Sunset Rock gig.

Maughan Uniting Church Synod

2008-03-28T09:14:00.001+10:30

Looks like we might be the "Synod House Band". All I can say is look out Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra!

Sevenfold are playing tonight at Maughan Uniting Church as part of the Presbytery and Synod meeting taking place there. We'll be playing a 30 minute set of our own songs from 7pm, then supporting the worship after that.

Very exciting news - we're heading into the recording studio today to record 6 songs for a demo CD.

More details and photos to come, and maybe even some sample tracks to download.

Fundraiser for Bec

2007-12-02T15:38:00.001+10:30

Last night we were the first act in what turned out to be a quality line-up. We were back at Sunset Rock Uniting, taking part in a fundraising evening for Bec. She is heading off to Calcutta for a couple of weeks in January to spend time working with and helping some of the local people there as part of Pilgrimage of Hope.

We started off the night, and had a very good set. I will admit that in our final song, it took until half-way through for me to realise that I don't normally play bass for that one. I muddled my way through, but I suspect it was probably just an excuse for Paul to give his shiny new Fender guitar an extra run.

Funnily enough, I don't have any photos of us performing, but here's Liz, Jane and Peter just before we went on:

The very pleasant surprise was that following us, was South Australian's own Chris Finnen. Wow! Chris kindly helped out by squeezing in a set in between performing in the Adelaide Guitar Festival. He was awesome.

Following Chris was Robby Bowler accompanied on percussion by Jeff. Not even the PA stopping for 5 minutes could stop Robby doing a great performance.

It was getting a little late, and I was wondering what could possibly cap off a great night?

Carrol Karpany could, and did! Using voice, guitar, didgeridoo and tapping sticks and video he add another flavour to a wonderful mix of talent and music.

It was a great night and we really enjoyed being a part.

If I can get some more photos, I'll add them in.

Pilgrim Thoughts

2007-11-05T10:25:00.000+10:30

Mental note: when performing at an event where there is also a choir and organ playing, make sure the organist has the correct time. (Not that they'd ever start early or anything!)

Lots of positive and appreciative comments afterwards, which was nice.

Performing at Pilgrim Uniting (Synod)

2007-10-29T13:01:00.000+10:30

It's a busy week for the band - we're participating in the SA Uniting Church Presbytery and Synod service at Pilgrim Uniting this Sunday evening (4th November).

If you have a look at the Synod page, that guy in the photo at the top is none other than Rev. Rod Dyson, husband of our own Liz, and he'll be the new moderator.

I wonder if he needs a backing band? :-)

John Butler's party

2007-10-28T10:22:00.000+10:30

Last night SevenFold played at John Butler's birthday party (not to be confused with the other John Butler).

It was a great gig, though we were missing Michael and Liz. Instead we were joined by Catriona Byrne for a rendition of "Blue Skies" (a special request from John).

We were supposed to play outside, but the weather had other ideas, so we retreated indoors instead. I'm not sure where we would have put Michael and his drums if he had been available!

Performing 8th September

2007-09-06T22:11:00.000+09:30

Yes, we're back playing at Westbourne Park again this Saturday, this time as part of their "Forks and Spokes" evening.

Performing 1st July 2007

2007-06-29T12:45:00.000+09:30

Seven Fold will be at Westbourne Park Uniting Church, 27 Sussex Tce, Hawthorn at 9.15am this Sunday.

They'll be participating in the worship service, leading singing and also performing some of their own songs.

Who are Seven Fold?

2007-06-29T12:07:00.000+09:30

Seven Fold (in no particular order) are:

Jane Bassham (vocals)
Liz Dyson (vocals)
Peter Farley (guitars, vocals)
Paul Mitchell (guitars, vocals)
Michael Grear (percussion)
Jane Mitchell (violin, mandolin, vocals)
David Gardiner ('cello, vocals)

So as you can see we've got the strings and voice sections covered quite well, and Michael rounds everything out nicely.
