Gigs are like buses - they all tend to come along at once. In the last week, I've had gigs of my own, plus lots of ambitious plans to see others I was invited to. First off, thanks to everyone who came to see me at the National Theatre on Saturday. I really enjoyed meeting so many new people, and from all over the world - one of the nice things about the South Bank, I think. Both the sessions I did were duo gigs, so I was on the joanna, plus Andrew Milloy on bass in the afternoon, then Sam Chaplin on trumpet in the evening. Keeps me on my toes.
I didn't make the other gigs I'd planned to see, but I did get to a creative workshop at the Courtauld Institute on Sunday, for which I feel very virtuous. It was an interdisciplinary event run by poet Dzifa Benson, musician Mikey Kirpatrick and visual artist Craig Dow, so we all got to have a go at things we might not normally do. Despite a slight lack of time (or maybe because of it), it definitely got the creative juices flowing. I met loads of interesting people - lots of writers and poets, plus a few visual types. It gave me one of those lovely warm Ready-Brek feelings about living in London.
