Govannen ceilidh at Leicester University - Bridget CD wrap

[unclechristo]

Sunday
The ceilidh for the international business course mature students at Leicester University went pretty well, again thanks to John our caller. The students weren't so dance crazy as last year. We sold 5 CDs tho (1Bridget, & 3 Sniff the Pony's, 1 Celtic Fire).

Monday
Wrapped up the new Bridget album - makinga few last ,astering changes, then sending copies to label and Bridget - can;t remember when I started this project - autumn last year? - nice to get to the end at last. Things were held up because I had to wait tfor when Bridget could come over from Ireland. I think it's pretty good - Dan thought it better than the last - I have 3 of my songs on it - the rest traditional.
Did some online banking sorting (as predicted Abbey never got back to me :-)  ) - and ordered more Govannen Celtic Fire, and Sniff the Pony CDs and a few more Bridget Celtic Woman CDs. Had to make new master for the Sniff CD.
  Tired after 4 gigs in a row - in evening watched an old fave film The Aboninable Dr Phibes - 1971 Vincent Price - very stylish campy and fun horror - I prefer the sequel Phibes Rises Again which I will watch soon - but its art deco madness is great as is the music.

The Abominable Dr Phibes

Not seen the film but I believe it was scored by Basil Kirchin who did a rare LP of processed/collaged recordings called Worlds Within Worlds 3-4 (its predecessor WWW 1-2 is so rare as to be almost unfindable apparently). Heard a radio interview with him once, possibly on the net somewhere... bit of an eccentric and very much in a sonic world of his own.
