Playing at The Stables

The Stables gig was a joy. It lived up to its reputation as being a top place to play. Thanks to everyone who came: I really enjoyed meeting people at the end and having a bit of a chat. As in some previous gigs, there were also some old faces there I hadn't seen for a very long time. Which is always a treat. Courtesy of Facebook. So it does have something going for it. Speaking of which, if you are on the infamous FB and would like to stay in touch, please join the fan page. It's still in its infancy, you might say, and very open to newcomers :-) Muso contact is best left to MySpace - because there are so many portals, music platforms and other technological vices - or virtues, depending which side of the fence you sit on - it's hard to keep up.

Back to the gig - we were, unfortunately, unable to take photos during the performance, but there are some rather rough 'n' ready shots of us setting up. So instead of the usual close-ups of yours truly oohing on the piano or keyboard - which are becoming a little ubiqitous, it has to be said - there are some rather interesting - one might even say arty - shots from before the gig... Here they are. Don't say I didn't warn you ;-)
