On Saturday night we had our pretty much annual James Street Vaults gig. It's always one of my favourite places to play being our local and there's always a friendly face or two or three or four in there.
We did a lovely full set with all our favourites in there. It was a good turn out and as an originals band it's always difficult to get new faces in the door but there were quite a few and we seemed to go down well which always makes it worthwhile :)
It was also our first gig with new band member Elani Andrea on backing vocals and acoustic guitar. She did brilliantly, danced up a storm with Trina, and also did a fantastic support set before our gig and it's a pleasure to have her in the band.
After Saturday night we were up bright and early for another gig. Geoff Heap is a great local promoter of Live Music and is always putting on events around Plymouth to showcase original music. Sunday was day 3 of his Level Up festival at the roundabout and we were first up on the bill.
Despite being on at 2.00 on a wet and windy Sunday it was a good turn up and our set went down well. We were also lucky to have the Evening Herald's live music reporter Ellie Hudson-Hopton there to review us.

Lena Smith Band review
We're very pleased with it and I'm very proud to have a band full of such lovely and talented musicians to play with. I feel very lucky :)
We finished off the weekend hiding away from the storm with a big lovely roast and a front room jam <3
