And so another tour begins...

2 October 09

We played our first gig with Wild Beasts in Edinburgh on Thursday. When I say “we” I really mean “I” because, due to various factors, I had to play solo for the first time in quite a while. I was nervous, which surprised me…I’ve done so many gigs by myself in the past but have got used to having a couple of people on stage with me and accustomed to their instruments and voices, so it felt rather strange when they didn’t join in. Nevertheless, it was a very pleasant gig…unfortunately the same can’t be said for the drive home which was long and dark. We had to leave straight after I’d played to avoid getting home at a ridiculous time and so I missed Wild Beasts. Luckily, we played in Leeds last night so we could stay. I always enjoy playing in Leeds and it went well, apart from the classic guitar-strap-becoming-detatched-mid-song incident (I have to say I’m really quite impressed at my own reflexes- no broken toes or guitars). Wild Beasts were truly stunning and we couldn’t really ask to be on tour with a nicer set of chaps.

I keep having to return home between gigs and working feverishly on some new songs which are due to be released fairly soon, (I’m beginning to think that mixing so many different varieties of drink last night was probably a silly idea) which includes a live song which I recorded with the wonderful Grammatics and James Kenosha the other day. I got to play a Fender Rhodes which was magical. More on that soon! Off to Nottingham in a bit…back to work….
