The night everyone came to the party

Posted on Sun January 2, 2022.

New years eve happened on the street in the lee of the still closed hotel and Bistro Blues on the other side

But the Bistro Blues and Karoo Art bars were open - and cooking .  In between them a  street full of Barrydalers and an awesome local band MC2. It took off - the town was getting its hotel back again .In the words of Sean Kilian Robinson "all you need is a string of lights" 😊🖖
