Post-gig thoughts…

I played in Edinburgh the other night. It was my first Calamateur gig in nearly a year and is now definitely up there as one of the most enjoyable gigs I’ve ever played.

For a start, everyone listened, which in my experience is pretty rare. It’s amazing the difference it makes though, both to my performance and to how much people enjoy the gig. It was also a fantastic venue, with a soundman who actually cared about how we sounded – again, another rarity. It was also great to play in front of friends who’ve supported my musical ventures for a long time. A big thank you to you all.

I was accompanied by the mighty Iain Hutchison onstage, who was like a kid in a toy shop playing with his new guitar and effects pedals. The man is a genius.

A couple of blogs have been posted by folk who enjoyed the gig – here and here.

Thanks to the ‘The Art of Joy’ folk, DLDown and Fiona Stewart for a great night.
