Old Blue Last gig

I'll be playing at the Old Blue Last this Sunday, 2 December, in a rare band appearance (until I finish my album, that is) in Shoreditch, London. This is one of those happy outcomes from a gig I did not so long ago for Vicky's Water Project, where I met, among other people, superb guitarist Michael Pollitt. At that particular gig, I forgot my keyboard stand (doh!) and Michael very kindly helped me balance the thing on two champagne casters...it was a rather humbling and surreal moment, I can tell you. There I was, sitting on an amp, trying not to bash the keyboard too much so it didn't fall off, playing and singing songs about people who don't redirect their post. Whoever said music wasn't glamorous?

So I'm very happy to have a chance to redeem myself this Sunday, at the Old Blue Last. It's also a kind of unofficial launch for Michael's new album with his brilliant band Mr Black and Blues, recorded at Toerag studios. I'll be kicking off the evening with my band at 6pm (sans champagne casters), and there will be a whole host of other toe-tapping shenanigans to keep you entertained and your mind off Monday morning! You know it makes sense.
