May Day toast moves to the Portofino Lounge

Great new venue: smaller, no pokies, no fluoros or competing bar rabble noise, and a bit of style. Our program of new material with opportunities for the audience to join in combined with soloist mic, and my new headset microphone for roving MC duties ensured we were heard and appreciated. Arthur Rorris as surprise artist accompanying us on balalaika went down very well also. We sang Nonsense, 16 Tons, Tolpuddle Man, Internationale, and Solidarity. Incredibly warm feedback. A lovely bloke thanked me and gave me a comradely hug as I departed the venue. What a sweetie.
