So good to be back…

 

Bar 42, Worthing, 15 Aug

We did our first gig in about 18 months a couple of days ago.

It was hot, sweaty and loud – I’d almost forgotten how that feels.  It went great, and I’m hyper-aware what a pleasure and privilege it is, after the shitty time we’ve all endured, to do this again.  Personally, I dealt with the suspense by focusing on my recent album and working on a follow-up; but there was a point where many venues’ survival looked pretty shaky – as did the whole musical ecosystem where I occupy a marginal corner.  And while the covid ordeal’s not over just yet, at least that part of it is.  I’m very, very glad.

More to follow – something early September for Sad House Daddy in London first of all, then a couple of things closer to home.  Details shortly! x
