That's me back in the UK now. Hopefully I will be here for August too. Spain didn't turn out to be the holiday I was expecting. I ended up playing in all of the live music bars in the local vicinity.

Life is getting back in the fast lane. Samhuinn is well under way. Got another practice tomorrow. Things are going good. We need to agree on more things and other people need to have valid ideas....but it'll all be fine on the night ( Read more... )

Anybody wanting to see Amanda Palmer at Cabaret Voltaire, who doesn't already have tickets, may be up for a shock. I tried to get some yesterday. Ripping Records and Ticketmaster had sold out. The cheapest I could find anywhere were £58 each if you wanted 1 or 2, or £69 if you wanted 3 or more ( Read more... )
