A rare Chris Conway/Dan Britton slot with Neil Rabjohn joining us on cajon drum. - we were topping the bill at Newtown Linford Village Hall with Yellowbelly, By The Rivers, Dave Wyatt Band and then us. Had to get there for 8pm but only took to the stage at 10.45pm.
I;d been feeling pretty rough all day - again that post viral feeling when I suddenly would hit a brick wall energywise and just feel weird. I usually wouldn;t dig a 2hr45min wait to play but it did enable me to level out after a dip I had after dinner.
A lass came up to me who I did teacher training with 25 years ago... and another lass who was a best friend of an old girlfriend from 10 years ago... weird.

We took to the stage in rather hurried fashion - decided to play a safe set - Dan said he didnlt feel quite on the money, I was OK but the bright lights in my eyes meant I could see nothing of the audience. We kept it light and it went fine - we sold 2 CDs in fact which was nice. Lifespell went well which was thanks to me doing it solo a lot lately.

Decided I needed to fight back on the health/tiredness front and have taken to having amore determined walk in the day - I;m so unfit - My limit at the moment is the museum and back (about 3miles) - seems to be helping - still getting the odd post-viral moment but generally I think I;m improving.

Been recording some more songs whilst I can before the onslaught of Irish St Patricks gigs with Govannen. - recording blog here - http://unclechristo.tumblr.com/

I got the new Evergrey album - gloomy as ever - still trying to find the right moment for it - not quite in as prog metal a head I have been. Mind you hearing a new track previewed online by Pagans Mind made me realise how much I love them - when I was low this week it was a real shot in the arm - they are very UP and I love the way it goes all over the place- plus they sing about time travel and returning to the stars :-)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMS9JZQKSA8  Looking forward to seeing them live in May.
