I think it's cool that the 'middle' primary school have now put me on Thursdays instead of Fridays as it was getting too busy, but it's also annoying that I have to travel to the same town out of Cambridge three times a week rather than squeeze it down to two days. Still, the lessons were fine. It's just...you know, 8 kids in a row is a lot sometimes, especially when it's that same fucking song we have to learn, over and over again.
The private lessons were all really lovely tonight - all three of them. Three students I feel like I connect with and they've made great progress.
Evening did a stand-up gig in town, which looked like it was going to be dead but we ended up with a really nice audience. All of the acts did well tonight, I knew a few of them (Bim, who runs the night, my regular collaborator Mel opened it and Stephen is always great) and the other two I didn't know were awesome. My set, which was pretty much 9 minutes of old stuff and 1 minute of new material went down a storm, but I'm nowhere near as slick as I used to be...I need a lot of gigs before Edinburgh, I'm a bit off the pace. Audiences don't notice, as far as I can tell.
