Its been a little while since I last wrote a blog - thats not to say I haven't been busy... I've been clocking up the miles on my little Agila and many many more to go as Summer season opens up.


Friday night was my gig at High Barn down in Chelmsford. Its lovely to go to a venue with its own tea and coffee making facilities and get this - a full length mirror in the ladies loos! Met some lovely and enthusiastic people there too.


Saturday I have to say I spent mostly in a traffic jam on the M1. Thats what you get for listening to sat-nav - I saw the signs for Cambridge and it did cross my mind to go that way but instead i put all my eggs in my twenty-first-century basket and ended up in a big pile of trouble. Extremely frustrating joining the back of my very first motorway standstill - "with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go" - as Mr James Taylor put it. Luckily I had his greatest hits (this is not blasphemy as have v.small mp3 player) and The Whybirds 'Cold Blue Sky' to pass the time.


Finally crept up to Bedford and met the talented Mr Jez Brown for a brief photoshoot and pub-grub before winging it back east with Ken Bruce's guide to the Eurovision Song Contest. Arrived back at my place just in time to see some quality stage performances. Niamh Kavanah? I'm sure she was the one who sang Destination Anywhere ... you know on The Commitments when they're all sitting on that bus and Dean (Saxophone / Kim Basenger's nipple) starts blasting it out.

Provided a bit of background music at the Great Yarmouth Beer and Cider festival - very nice too. 


Off for a pretty though extremely raining drive up to Fakenham in North Norfolk to meet Mr Mike Coombs for my first ever guitar lesson! I was stuck behind a tractor on the Acle Straight for rather a long time. Lesson was refreshing - left on a high!


Bank Holiday Monday - lots of practising, Wrote a song in open-G tuning, saw Sex and The City 2 and really enjoyed it! SO THERE!!!!!


I hope you had a lovely long weekend too.
