After a few hours stuck behind what appeared to be some
sort of "caravan parade" I made it over to Plymouth for a
couple of gigs.First stop a support slot at Ride bar for
Carus and the true believers.
Carus was great, perfect summertime tunes and a
local favourite down at Ride. By the end of his set
he had nearly doubled the band on stage with other local
musicians stepping up to play! Carus also had Seth Lakeman
putting in a guest appearance on violin, which was awesome
to watch. I'm guessing they're old friends from
all of the banter floating about on stage.I also had an
interview with Eat Music (a new Plymouth based radio station)
which should be up on their site pretty soon.
Next up a gig at the Watering hole on the Barbican, it was
all outside so I felt relieved when the sea mist that had
rolled in, in the morning cleared..I would of had to change
my set to sea shanties and add the odd "ah agghh" every
now and then, no one wants to see that right? Thanks to
everyone who made it down, I had half of the bar doing a
Mexican wave by the end of the night my mission next time
is to work on the other half..
I had the best intentions to make it up to Redefest for the
weekend but the traffic held me back, I hear it was a great
success again this year so sad to have missed it!
So back in York with a gig in Kennedy's bar last night, it's
nice to be back for a few days playing
to lots of familiar faces. Next I'm off to Wales starting
with a gig in the Live Lounge, Cardiff and then down to the
coast to play a few more gigs before heading back to Bristol
for a night at the Golden Lion.
So that's all for now, until next time..
