Gigs and more gigs

Did a storming gig at the National Theatre yesterday evening. I think it's one of the most enjoyable ones I've done there. It was actually nice to be behind the piano, for a change - all the other gigs I've done there, I've had an accompanist on the piano, but this time it was all my own songs or arrangements. It was a nice feeling, and the songs got a really good response.

There also seemed to be more people there than normal, including a lot of French and Spanish. So at the end I was able to brush off a little of my Spanish, talking with some members of the audience. I love that - it's so rare that I actually speak it these days, and the old language skills are getting a bit rusty! Sold a bumper load of CDs, too. All in all, a great evening.

I'm now looking forward to my gigs at the Betsey Trotwood on Thurs 23, and at Greenbelt on Sunday - I'll have the full band with me for both of those. I'm just praying the rain holds off for a few more days.
