Up early to teach my regular Saturday student, and then met up with FH for the long drive to the deepest north.
An arts centre gig, the sort of gig I always love playing, but, having had our problems on Wednesday, I wasn't looking forward to this one - it feels like I am merely working out my notice. But it all changed tonight, because we pretty much sold out, we ate well, we're getting paid for it, and we were absolutely outstanding - the buzz is totally back. Standing ovation at the end, the full works, we upped our game and this was the best we've played live in years. Absolutely brilliant.
I know I've had that other offer, but I can do both, yeah? Of course I can. I can't let this go...my feelings of negativity earlier in the week is because I'm sad this could be going, but if we have more great nights like this then there's no way G can leave us, surely?
The evening was great after the show, too, lots of boozing in our B+B, lots of chat, just like the old days. My roommate for this show was V, we stayed up till nearly 4am, drinking gin and putting the world to rights. Whatever happens with the band, I'll always be her drummer.
