Poland Rocks!

Playing to sold out theatres and shows in palaces  were just some of the hi-lites of Claude’s first tour to Poland. Pierogi (Polish dumplings) was also another hi-lite – particularly the mushroom and cheese kind, and Polish hotdogs from the regular Polish servo is pretty close to Claude’s love of New York style pizza. Apologies to those who missed out on buying cds having sold out in the second of the three shows. Big thanks to Victor Czura, head organizer of Satyblues festival for organising the run and all the people at the festival, including the Swat family for their hospitality, translation and general help. You know you’ve made it when there is a home made beer made with your name on the label! And Claude Hay candy.  Plans are already in place to return to Poland next year. Check out photos  HERE. Live video of performances coming soon.
