... magnificent! Thanks to Jude and to Barnaby's Lounge for putting on the gig. Jude did a lovey set with a particularly distinctive penultimate song about generosity which I found really affecting.
The audience was mostly women- could this be to do with the venue? Wendy May came along, such a long time since those Boothill Foot-tapper and Helen and the Horns days! So did Enid Williams and there was time to chat to both of them. Wendy was sporting a fabulous cowgirl shirt she'd made; she is an excellent seamstress/designer. My ex-Westminster student Ed Frith came too. It was unexpectedly well-attended and full of bonhomie. The sound was great: I know this because people laughed at the funny bits in my songs!
Next one, Rochester in Kent at the Rams Microbrewery, again with Jude and with Robert Rotifer accompanying me on a couple of songs at the end of my set. he's mixing an album of his songs today with lots of guest vocalists, mainly Kenji Kitahama who is sounding absolutely fabulous. Bout time we heard more from him!
I'm slobbing about today- that was a six-hour round trip, even though Hastings feels close. It's not, but it was more than worth the journey!
