unclechristoI went to the UK Filk Convention in Colchester early Feb and had no plans to play a set, but Songbird had to cancel her slot so I did one with the minimum of thought and with some hasty strumthrus. I realised I hadn't played a solo songs set since June/July? I was pleased to play Astronauts this year as I chickened out of it last year as it was so new. I tried a new silly-ish song Parts Of You. I also sang some songs I've never sung live in the filk circles - Jazz Potato, The Violet And The Rose, & Time Circle Dance.
So I had quite a chilled convention and it hopefully will kick me into getting some slots and gigs.
Apart from that I've been chugging along with the things I started in January (see last entry).
Last night I went to see German comedian Henning Wehn (he's lived in the UK for 17 years) at my local concert hall across the park. He was clever and very funny - he plays with the German and British stereotypes. His long 2nd set was all about perspectives on Brexit - which sounded a terrible idea - but it was thoughtfully done and it's always fun seeing a smart brain in action. It was quite a tonic anyway on a February Friday,
