Semaphore Workers Club Fringe Show

We have made our first trip to the suburb of Semaphore, Having had dinner at the local brew pub and strolled the waterfront, we make our way to the Semaphore Worker's Club, once (or maybe still) home to communist activities in South Australia.

We are here for a Fringe show. This evening the show is Lynyrd Skynyrd and Janis Joplin.

There are a number of unique attributes of this venue. First is the bars cash only policy. We are fortunate to have a small amount of cash with us. It will cut down on our drinking.

The venue may no longer be communist but it is clearly a bogon hangout. Of the more than 40 women attending, there are a lot of big, redneck women, many attending in hen groups. 

The Skynyrd tribute band causes CJ concern. The original had four lead guitars, this group only one. How will they ever play Free Bird?  By the end of their set, two things are true: the guitarist did an incredible job and the lead singer was true to the voice and intonations of RVZ.

They play for over an hour, there is a half hour break and then the Janis Joplin tribute begins. Carol is not pleased with her performance. CJ is less critical.

CJ likes the music. Carol, not so much. At around eleven, we catch an Uber. It will be well past midnight by the time we retire.
