Already Friday! It's been such a busy time... on Monday I went to Gina's to start to talk about Beefheart the Musical, which is going to be performed at a big Captain Beefheart event in Bury in January. Tuesday, I went to Walton on the Naze with Offsprog One and we paddled for about three hours and ate chips. Wednesday afternoon was a three-hour rehearsal with Robert Rotifer and his band, and evening was the launch for his album at The Betsey Trotwood, which went without a hitch. Here's a little film of Amelia Fletcher singing her duet with Robert. Robert's songs on this new album, Holding Hands in Petropolis, are lovely: a bit Kevin Ayers, a bit Simon and Garfunkel, and even a bit of Santana bubbling away in there. Oddly, a couple of reviewers have referenced Jake Thackray, which people keep saying to me about my songs: maybe Jake's having a 'moment'.
There's all sort of other stuff going on, some nasty, some nice: but then, life's like that, innit?
