Ronnie Scott's of Cambridge

Here's a couple of photos taken at my Alimentum gig in Cambridge earlier this week, taken by the esteemed Mr Williams.

As you can see, it was a little cosy on the stage when I was standing up (as opposed to lying drunk on the floor ... I mean, playing at the piano). Good job we all get on! I had been a little jittery before the gig as it's a while since Simon (bass), Nigel (guitar) and I had played together on my songs. I shouldn't have worried, though, as they're both superb players and remembered everything. We also played one of my new songs - the Rocker one - and it worked really well with the line-up. Must get that recorded soon ...

We had a busy night - the manager told me the venue could have sold out twice! It was a little bustly to start off with, what with with people ordering food, arriving etc. But in the second half, when most people had finished, they dimmed the lights and it did feel a little like the Ronnie Scott's of Cambridge. I think we'll be back.
