Three weeks ago we attended the wedding of one of our musical friends Mark, better known as Marcus. He is a solo performer as well as part of the band "3 of a Kind" and organises a fair few Open Mics in the area. I have posted about some of them already and surely will continue to do so.
This time his organisational talents came to an absolute showdown as he and his now wife, lovely Alicia, organised their wedding day!
Both are avid festival goes so the obvious choice for both was to use that as a theme for their big day.
And what a day it was! He had his friends performing all day and into the night and I was lucky enough to having been invited to play the opener towards the end of their photo shoot!
My dear friend @steve-o2023 has been lending me a helping hand with creating wonderful videos of each of my songs showing me what is possible! Wow!
These things have come to light for me.. lol
- Multi-angel filming requires equal quality cameras.. 🙄
- Tell the camera man (or woman) not to be louder than the performer.. 😁
- And note to self: Make sure your hair is in order! 🤣
Here are the first few of my set followed by some images of the day further down.
Hope, you like them!

Some Impressions of the Day..
The attention to detail was amazing, so much love went into the preparations.
The Sycamore Stage with the list of performers on the blackboard and my guitar ready to go.. | There was lots of stuff for kids to do. |
Cosy corners to relax in..
A bit of the cermony; Alicia made her own altar! The macrame in the background was spread on her living room floor for months! 😮

Speech and dance time. Everything was totally relaxed.
The happy couple performing as 3, ehm, no, 5 of a Kind.. That always changes actually.. 😄 | |
A bit of the crowd showing a few of the local musicians chatting.
I've got three more songs that I will post as part of ThreeTuneTuesday.
It will be my first ever post. Yay!
Thanks for looking!! 😍
