It's going to be a short one this week! I'd planned on a quieter week but it turned out to be a case of 'too little too late'. I'd probably already over-done things a bit lately and by Wednesday night I felt pretty awful. My throat was sore and I was aching and generally feeling like I couldn't be bothered doing very much.
This was a shame as I'd gone to see some live comedy in the shape of Andy Parsons that night. I still enjoyed it, but was feeling a bit rough. So Thursday became pretty much a day of rest and I certainly made the right call pulling my trip to the Chemic Open Mic (I'll try again this Thursday instead!).

By Saturday things had improved enough to mean the band gig could go ahead fairly comfortably, although it was a hot night and a hot room to play in! We didn't get a very big turn-out as people preferred to sit outside and do outside things, this being the hottest night of the year so far. The band, however, is more than used to playing to a handful of people and we actually had a great night musically. The set was tight and some numbers were the tightest they'd ever been. So not a bad do all in all.

This Friday we're returning to the Cricketers at Horbury, which went well last time (as most of them do!). We need re-bookings in order to turn over work and keep the diary full and the online giglist healthy. It's working just about so far to my target of playing once a week. Hopefully we can expand on that but with so many line-up changes for now it's probably about right.

See you next time!
