Every Day I Have The Blues

Here's a slightly weird one - after the concert Toni Proud took photos of the band (and Jeff Smith singer/keyboard player from That's Life - in the middle at the bottom). This is part of a project to picture musicians with mugs that feature an image of "The Last Supper", a 250kg sculpture created by Tauranga artist Franz Mens made from cement, rock, oak and copper. and "wired up with lighting" which failed to sell on TradeMe a few years back for $10,000,000. Exactly why Toni is doing this is a mystery to us but we wish her well!
