If the 'trickle-down' effect happens I might get a gig or two on Markeaton Park boating lake.
Now, where did I put that packet of Quells?

There's been a few of these in recent years - Weezer were the first band I noticed doing one, although I don't know if they were the first to try it.

They played shows in the auditorium, random acoustic performances on deck and took a bunch of other bands (Dinosaur Jr!!!) out with them too. I've never fancied a cruise holiday but could be swayed by something like that!

The soul / jazz / funk cruises have been going for over 10 years - some pretty good people on these.

Marcus Miller and George Duke areregulars, also this year there's Tower of Power, David Sanborn, Oleta Adams, Earth Wind & Fire, candy Dulfer, Gladys Knight, The Whispers, Sheila E, Ohio Players, Billy Paul, etc. etc
