Dec 26

Between 1977 & 2007, my bands played NYE 28.
Another 2, the band wasn't together long enough to ve gigging and/or have an NYE date booked. So, the band through a party where we played.
So, I've long been New Tear's Eved out.
But, if I was actually going to do NYE & could go anywhere because I'm guessing in would be fun it would be: Sydney, London, or Naples.
