The odd little flicker of tour date continues to pop into my inbox, it's gradually starting to come together and I'm filling the rest of the schedule with venues who know and like me from last year - yep, all 6 of them.
Surreal day today; a ceremony of celebration for Dad at his former workplace. Huge turnout; he was popular, so popular. Nice speech, the music made me emotional again, but generous and warm atmosphere. We used to live by his shop so it felt very strange going back there, walking around the park I spent much of my youth. Lots of really nice memories, I'm very grateful for such a placid, harm-free, simplistic childhood.
Long day, though, followed by lengthy Dowsing band rehearsal in the evening which was worrying at first...it was like nobody wanted to be there at all, but it perked up eventually. It's a strange one, the level of performance is arguably higher than it ever has been...we're so tight, but the buzz isn't there at all.
Got offered and accepted the new freelance post, which makes things easier as I've earned bugger all this month!
