March 2017
I still wasn't very well as the month began - whatever I've had seems to be taking forever to get better ! I was still managing the absolute essentials as far as musical activities were concerned. As of a few days ago however, it all seemed to lift and my chest and throat have been better than for the last six or seven weeks. I'm intending to try the Bradford Arms and the Sandpiper before the end of March.
Thursday 2 March @ The Patrick Kavanagh, Moseley, Birmingham
Booked for a 15 minute spot. Excellent club despite the difficult parking !
No expense spared on gear, so very good quality sound and a professional photographer on hand who took two excellent photos while performing.
Just a shame the car died on the way home !
Songs : Guardians / No-One There & Pentonville Angel
