Rehearsing

That's two more rehearsals under our belts. We are both ill and have half-brains, which is a shame because we'd got really synchronised before Christmas. There's another rehearsal tomorrow and then we travel to Bury on Friday, ready for the real thing on Saturday afternoon.

I realised that we might have spent months on this and still ended up with the same result- just under half an hour of quite challenging music that is completely thought through from beginning to end. The songs have taken on lives of their own and have a logic that belongs to December 2023, multiple sheets of paper, a computer and Gina's kitchen.

After Saturday a different sort of year begins: I will start to sort out the Chefs album, finish the recordings with James (they are waiting for my vocals, mostly) and then start writing songs. I have a few gigs floating around, notably this one in central London at the end of January that includes a film screening of the She-Punks film. It's daytime for all you hibernators, so come along and sit in the warm, and I'll serenade you afterwards!
