3 gis in 2 days comes to an end and I have a day off :-)

Fri - I prepared quite a bit for my gig covering for Dan Britton at the Musician and had written a lot of chords out for Andy the Guitarist. The gig wasn't quite what I'd hoped for although musically we were good and the new trio (Andy the Guitar, Neil the Cajon) sounded good. The night kinda got shunted down as there were 2 support acts and one brought 75 people ( I could only really muster about 10)  - as might be expected the supports fans mostly went to the bar after he played. Also Andy Griffiths joined us singing 3 of Dans songs which was fun. In the end tho the 2nd set started about 11.15pm and we finished around midnight. Annoying thing was my voice was begining to get sore - not used to a full set singing loud I guess. I'm greatful to my gang who came but I;m beginning to think my crowd generally tend not to go to the Musician anymore. A good workout - I'd quite forgotten what runnung a band gig was like. Sold 2 CDs a Just Be Real and a Storming.

set 1 - Water is Wide, Lifespell, Finally, Above My Head, theremin interlude, 3 Headed Girl - 3 Dan songs with Andy G
set 2 - Call of the Wild, Train of Thought, theremin & electronics jam going into Life Road, Time to Talk, Carousell, Alien Jellyfish Song

Sat - felt terrible when I woke up for lunchtime solo gig at the Phoenix Arts Centre but slowly as I was setting up the kit I came around. It turned out to be a really nice gig - just what the doctor ordered. Lots of nice and mostly familiar people in a nice light arts centre cafe all listening and enjoying it. I took things easy and decided to go thru my song albums one by one, chat a bit about them and sing a song from each. Singing a couple of covers at the end. Nice to see Helen, Rachel, Vivien & husband, and Mick the Fiddle, amongst others Vikki Clayton popped in for a coffee and a chat afterwards.

set 1  - Tomorrow Lives Again, Coming in to Land, Long Days Waiting, Green Clothes, Age of Miracles, Alien Salad Abduction, theremin interludes,
set 2 - Train of Thought, Homecoming, Finally, Above My Head, Leaves, theremin interlude, Call Me, Going Out Of My Head

Swapped kit and napped in arvo ready for Govannen gig in evening in Oakham at the Catmose Club, home of the Royal Antidiluvian Order of Buffalos. Nice people but only 20 of them in quite a big hall. We were all a bit tired but turned in a pretty good show and sold a Water is Wide CD.

Sun - takin it easy today - seeing friends for dinner. Voice is a bit gravelly and low - coulda done a Barry White set today no problem.
