To L. and back

On a dark and dreary Wednesday I popped over to The Rainbow to do my bit for Japan by standing around and listening to a bunch of local folk and rock acts brought together to help out the tsunami-earthquake-nuclear-accident-plagued nation by raising a few bucks. First on the bill was L. Poushinsky, who has been slugging it out in the coffee shops, clubs and bars of our fair capital for a few years now.

And here she is!



That's Dave Edwards behind her helping out on drums.



Mallet time!



Closeup action!



Bonus Dave!



Lisa rocks the frets!



Train-jumper Stuart Rutherford helped out on a few tunes.



Extra Stuart!



At the time of the show, she was looking for musicians for an upcoming East Coast tour.
