We had a wonderful night on Sunday at The Country Soul Sessions. Paul Handyside was on first and it was nice to hear his songs again. Drew Morrison and the Darkwood followed and if I'm not mistaken I heard a new direction in one or two of their songs- moving towards the soul sound. Their guitarist is great- what an energy bomb! Such enthusiasm- it was completely infectious. We all really enjoyed playing, even though we couldn't see the sea from Soho. We were a bit tighter, with no wind buffeting us, but I did miss the child dancers! I love playing The Country Soul Sessions- there's a great vibe down there and it's one of the places I've always felt able to go to on my own, which is testament to its friendliness and the fact that Drew and Alex consistently put on really great bands. Next McCookerybook and Rotifer gig is at the Vienna Popfest on the 3rd of August, where it'll be just to two of us, and then I'm playing solo at Rebellion in Blackpool and so is Gina- and we'll be showing the She Punks film there too.
