One article for two days of touring.
That was a good start. A wonderfull meal, a great bed and a long night! We're full of energy for our concert tonight. After breakfast ( 1 PM) we decided to play some tunes in Nel's kitchen. Nienke broke a string, and while we drove to th G-spot music club to set up the PA system Nel and Nienke replaced the strings on Nienkes guitar. It took us some driving around, but eventually we found the right place. It looked really small from the outside but once we got inside it was a whole different experience! We took our time setting up and did one of the longest soudchecks we ever did, about 2,5 hours. Which was too long really. We eventually got irritated and grupmy with eachother so we decided to go back to the house and enjoy another michelinstar-quality meal.
The evening at the G-Spot was opened by a 17 year old Hannah who sang songs of various musical styles with an amazing voice. Our concert went down very well, our merchandise table was empty at the end of the evening. Even both Neckties were sold today! We will have to think of something else to decorate the merchandise table with now...
The Berwick Inn
An even longer night this time. freshly showered we enjoyed our breakfast in the garden. The weather is amazing, almost as if it were summer! We were invited to visit the Yellow Fish studios, one of the bigger and more wellknown studios in the area. So we drove down there. At first we thought we took a wrong turn, since we were standing in front of a concrete barn in the middle of a field. But once we got inside we immediately felt at home. Beautifull studios, a great atmosphere, just the type of place to record a live album... so who knows? We might actually go there next year... We enjoyed a very special cup of coffee concocted by Ross McCracken, the producer and owner of the studios, listened to our album. He liked it (phew) and showed us around the studios, which made our idea of maybe recording an album here even more tempting.
We arrived at the Berwick Inn around 6.30 PM and built up the PA. The evening started a little slow a lot of people were still eating their meals while listening. But quite soon we got the place going and we ended up singing the Rattling Bog together with the whole pub!
Today, sitting outside in the sun again, we got the idea to go for a walk, visit the Long Man of Wilmington and the Seven Sisters where we were last year. Hopefully Dominique wont act half as dangerous as he did then... We'll post a picture when we get back to the house!
Tonight we will play at the Hare and Hounds in Framfield and we know in advance the place will be absolutely packed, since on both previous concerts about half the audience told us they would be at the Hare and Hounds too. We wonder if we will still fit in there...
