I took the Eurostar for the first time since it moved to St Pancras yesterday and it’s so fast! Last time it took my about 7 hours to get here (although that was via a combination of motorbike, ferry and rain…). Anyway – here for a few days and then back to the UK for 2 shows with Eliza Carthy – one in Hailsham on Saturday and in Blackheath on Sunday night. Last week was hectic, Monday I was in London shooting a video with the Ganda Boyz – there is some great footage of them now on youtube and you might even catch a glimpse of me if you look hard enough… Just search for Ganda Boyz. Friday it was up to Stockton on Tees for the first of a 3 show run with Eliza Carthy. It’s a lomg way from Brighton but it was well worth it, many thanks to the Stockton audience who welcomed me so warmly. Then Saturday I was playing for Lizzy Parks at the Vibe Bar in Shoreditch opening for Will Quantic.
Xmas is drawing ever closer – I had my first mince pie this year on Sunday. I promise to enjoy it this year…
