Been a bit slow to blog because seem to be fairly busy! First thing the story “Dreams” continues to evolve. Interesting as I had a story that I have revisited and I have even performed but as I rewrite it keeps throwing up new ideas to explore. Sadly may not be able write too much this week.

The Cheltenham Literature festival has started and we went to watch Jan Blake perform (title above) on Friday night along with musicians the Sereba brothers. She is a wonderful Story Teller who engages superbly with her audience. The performance was enhanced with the music of Raymond and Kouame and their enthusiasm. Off again to Cheltenham tonight and various times over the next week. Great!!!!!!

Enquiries for my services coming in since my fliers went out. Performing in Stroud for a whole day this week so need to find time to rehearse! The RSPB also got in touch so I may have to work on those “Avian Tales” I mentioned previously.

Seth Lakeman was brilliant on Tuesday night. He gets better each time I see him and he was enjoying playing in the Cathedral. It is my hero Ralph McTell on Tuesday in Bristol. We went to Oxford on Wednesday; really enjoyed the Bodleian Library.

Finally off on our monthly cycle with the boys in 20 mins but what a game yesterday at Luton. 3-1 down after 25 minutes, 3-3 at half time and then a wonder strike from Alex Wall to snatch the game! Much better than last week’s turgid affair!
