avalonAll you need to know about this trio is that they packed the Gypsy Avalon stage tighter than I’ve ever seen it. See the picture. And if the singer was an octave higher, only dogs would be able to appreciate it.
There’s a guitar, a bass and a set of tom-toms. I can rarely understand Japanese when it’s sung, but I assume the songs were something like “I liked a boy and he liked me, so everything was quite alright” or “It’s sunny, we’re happy, but even if it were raining we’d still be happy because then the flowers could grow”.
At one point, the three ladies take a break to let the audience pose questions. I think this is the first time I’ve ever witnessed a Q&A session mid-gig. “Have you taken a onsen up here yet?” shouts an audience member. “No, not yet,” say the ladies. Back to the music.
After the next tune, which may have been about how delicious ice-cream is, the bass player points out that an insect has landed on the guitar, and the trio discuss whether to let it stay there, or to remove it. Before they can reach a consensus, said insect departs voluntarily, and we all go back to the songs about sunshine and joy.
