Farewell Fingerprint

Live music is very popular over in AD with most bars having a resident band playing music nearly every night. As we enter Ramadan music is not really played so a lot of the bands contracts come to an end and new acts come in October.

One of my favourite haunts is Hemmingways at the Hilton, it was the first bar I visited in January when I came to scope AD out. That night there was a 2 piece band from New Zealand playing called Fingerprint.

Have been going there a fair bit since I moved and they are extremely good and very entertaining. They play all sorts of music, blues, soul you name it and have been known to take request, though my constant request for Englebert Humperdink's Please Release Me has fallen on deaf ears!

As well as good band they are also very friendly people and always chat and have drink between sets with customers, whether regulars or tourists staying in the hotel.

Unfortunately it's their last weekend this weekend, so it's farewell Fingerprint, good luck, enjoy going back home and seeing all your kids, and if you ever come back to the desert for another stint, let us know and make sure it's on your web site!
