Lovely evening, everybody on top form - Caroline Dexter (with Lyall on mandolin), Leonard Ng, Mette Bille (with Jez on harmonica), Spekki Chris (with classic Electro-Harmonix pedal) and me. I played Deja Vu and Care in the first half and Gravity and Iodine in the second. General hurrahs, then.

Begin something like 20:30 - I do Gravity, Nothing But Green Grass, Learning to Crash, River Rise and Iodine. There's a forlorn cry for The Things You Get, but I tell them to hang on until Christmas. Goes quite well, I think. I forget slightly less of the bridges in Nothing But Green Grass.

Lot of fun - very supportive crowd. I go fully a capella for the first verse of River Rise, and they seem to be with me.

I do a lot of mad banter. I wish I could remember half of that nonsense. Also plug the track-a-wee-upload concept. Perhaps I'll get downloads from someone who isn't a Chinese search engine bot. I seem to be very popular with Chinese search engine bots, though I doubt they count as an untapped market.

I'll post a review of this soon, and a recording! I set up my Zoom H2 on a Gorillapod on a table and plugged my minidisc player into the mixing desk, and both recordings mixed together sound pretty good. However, I'm going to cheat a bit and cut out some false starts and crappy banter. It still won't be 100%, but still. Audio demi-verité.

This was fun (heck, should I be saying something more informative than that...?) - six artists, playing four songs each to a select audience. Hum. The other artists included Dave Russell, Rich Barnard and Ivor Game, which was nice. I felt vaguely that Ivor should have got more songs, as his are so short, but only vaguely. I played My Bumper Book of Lies and Logodaedalus in the first half (the first live outing ever for the latter tune) and Gravity and Iodine in the second half.

Confessed that my whole musical escapade might be an excuse to play Iodine occasionally.

Juan P came, and got to see Dave R at last, which was nice, especially as he did Hades W10.
