My pal Mike has a great surf rock instrumental band. However, as I have got older, I can’t really say I’m enthused when I hear the words “Hey, we start at midnight, you should come down and check us out!” (Actually I don’t think Mike has actively ever asked anyone to come to a show like that, I just imagine his voice calling to me.)
So when I saw that there was an afternoon of tunes I figured “This is my chance!”
I invited a few pals from work and we hit the road but in different modes of transportation. Mina took his bicycle and started from my house and managed to get to Cornwall in four hours! Clive took his motorbike. I took my car and strapped Mina’s bike on for the ride home.
It was a perfect June afternoon. A bit of clouds, some good heat…a day on the patio with some good friends and tunes is perfect.

I’ve never really been to Cornwall. Lola’s had a pretty great patio to hang out on for the afternoon. Clive correctly ascertained that it was an old A&Ws and we were sitting in the area where the staff would come up and deliver your food to your car!
Good times on the patio
The band played three sets with some good time between the sets to chat. We even got to hear a few new tunes which is always welcome.
Some dancing going on

Reverb Syndicate at Lola’s was a proper good time and I would definitely go again. Great start to the summer.
