A delayed observation

I've been meaning to write about this for a while, but I needed to load up photos for this update and they were upstairs and I was downstairs basically the point was photos were needed and I was feeling lazy.

Anyway a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of witnessing Alan Fletcher's band.
(For those who don't know Alan Fletcher plays Dr Karl Kennedy in Neighbours).



See there he is with his face and hands.

I'm not going to review the gig but pass on some observations.

Alan Fletcher has a really strong Australian accent - he sounds like Crocodile Dundee.
His band are called Waiting Room which clearly cashes in on him being a doctor in Neighbours.
Waiting Room consists of Alan Flecther and two guitarists (there is no bass or drums - those are recorded).
The core of their repertoire are covers or stereotypical Australian songs that sounds like Waltzing Matilda.
They have a song about Susan (Karl's ex wife in Neighbours).
One of the guitarists plays some of his own stuff and is really good, the other is some indie kid throw back.
They will be touring at a university near you.
Watching Alan Fletcher sing is like watching a middle aged man performing karaoke and having a nervous breakdown simultaneously.
