A big warm kiss and hug to all who came to the Lantern and contributed to the wonderful atmosphere of the night. It warmed the cockles of my heart to get such a reception, and to hear the new material get such a lovely response. Great to have The Lantern packed to the gills too. A big thank you to Paul from Fallen Trees for his great performance too. I may well do two nights next time, possibly around September this year, with some special guests from foreign climes. For those of you not there, I played more or less all new songs from the Star Wood Brick Firmament album. The set list was as follows:
Minack
Floating down the road
Sweet enough?
Donald
Love’s Promise
Transmission (a Joy Division cover ;)
Jack in the pulpit
We wait for them
And for for encore I did ‘Build you a song’ and ‘The sun’.
Big thanks to my students Alex and Toni for doing the sound on the night, and April and Jo for doing the merch. And the glorious and lovely staff of The Lantern.
