Govannen MHarborough & Nottingham / jazz @ Barnsdale

Fri
Govannen had a charity night at Market Harborough Rugby Club - not a bad turnout but a very big room making it seem thin. Ni ce to see some regular chums in the audience and nice too to see so mnay folks getting up and dancing at the end of the night.

Sat
On Saturday we had a ceilidh birthday party at West Bridgeford Community Hall - nice people and keen dancers - they were old friends of our caller Cathy so they danced for the whole of our set. Quite a hall - big arched roof etc...

Sun
Barnsdale Hall jazz duo with Andy the Sax. Nice mellow gig - but it does eat your whole Sunday really - getting together at 10, an hour;s drive including picking up Andy - then you're home about 4pm. Still it's a nice gig but boy was I tired when I got home in the evening.

Theremin/Kate Easton/Cactus Cafe

Got my theremin and effects set up - thinking about the big Hands Off theremin symposium in Scarborough at the end of the month - thought I might record some "flights" too.

Tues - Kate Easton came round to record a song - it turned out to be one of Kate Rusby's songs - not my fave artists but there ya go - it went easily enough and sounded fine

Weds
Jazz duo with Andy the sax - we keep thinking this residnecy will end as it has changed hands but we are still keeping on at the moment. Noisyish earlier but mellowed out later - fingers were in a jazz mood...
