Dear All,
I have returned from a jaunt in Scotland, and am taking this opportuntiy to reflect on the past week or so.
I’ll start at the Blank Tape Spillage Fete. I should have reminded everyone about it, but you may have read in the paper or whatnot… Anyways – they have packed it all up now but we had a closing gig for the exhibition on the 11th April and it was real nice. Thanks to all the peebles who came to see, and for those who then got dragged into a folk dance upsatirs – happy times!
Peel, pith and juicy bits.
After this I had a little restification and nipped up to Scotland for to be part of the Behaviour festival at The Arches in Glasgae: they mixed some bits of me into the trailer (link above) – looks good. It was good – being scutinised by a serious theatre audience.
From Glasgow we cadged a lift from the very lovely Andy and Denise. Their first Home Game too. We don’t know them, they were just going the same way. I reccommend you say hello if you see them and buy them a drink for their kindness.
Eider, redshank, oystercatcher, curlew, cormorant.
Anstruther is a lovely place. We ate at the world famous ‘Fish Bar’. Strolled on the beach. And I played a couple of shows for the lovely Fence boys. In Anstruther Town Hall, with a massive amount of feedback and unusually loud drum machine bursts, what silliness. In Hew Scott Hall a more sedate affair with a little piano.
The sun came out all bright and lovely on Sunday as we were leaving. Was nice to have a relaxing and comfortable festival experience. Thanks Johnny and James for inviting me.
