I had a day in Cardiff yesterday- went to the Ladyfest there. Cardiff is an interesting place- I thought I was in the main street then I walked through a market and came out the other side into what seemed to be the main street then I went round a corner and found what seemed to be.. the main street. A bit like the Tardis, I thought. It has it's own Sinnerwinner man and ladies with clipboards going 'Exkyoooze me' and also a big Rasta who was playing on a bin with drumsticks, a bit like George Coleman (Bongo Joe). I couldn't find the sea, although I knew it was there because there were lots of seagulls.
The event I was at was in a white-painted room in a big house, and I talked and played tracks and sang some songs- very informal and friendly, I liked it- perfect for a hot afternoon. I had to come back but there were lots of other things happening that evening too. I played some rare Chefs stuff. And of you're visiting this blog, thank you for coming along yesterday afternoon, there was a really good atmosphere. Thank you to Debi for inviting me! I don't have music on this site yet but I have some at www.myspace.com/helenmccookerybook and I change it regularly as I write more songs!
The train back got delayed and I missed Rowen's and Jamie's gig at the Harrison which was a big disappointment because I know it must have been a good one.
