Anything else to report from Raglan Festival?

We were supporting Amy Wadge last night.

I ended up doing the sound but I quite enjoyed it because we'd borrowed Col Knight's PA.

Amy's musicians Bobby and Pete arrived first from Liverpool so we got a good sound with them first and then Amy turned up about five o'clock so that gave us plenty of time.

We had about eighty people in including some hardcore Amy fans from Penarth, Tonypandy etc.

We went on first and had a very enjoyable time with a warm and appreciative crowd.

Amy went on on at 8.30 and torre the place up. Very dynamic with great support from Pete who played one jazzy and one bluesey solo with style and energy.

Oh, and I busked before the gig and made £30 again. A grand total of £110 for the whole weekend.

Gone quiet?

Kind of.

Went to Abergavenny this morning to do some publicity for a concert we're doing with Amy Wadge this Saturday.

It's part of the Raglan Festival www.raglan-festival.org

Did some 4-up invitations and touted them around on market day and did some windscreens.

I must say how much I admire Paolo Nutini. Rachel, our daughter sings Rewind and Last Request but I think the whole of the first album is pretty good and I've liked what I've heard of the second. Heard him do a great cover of "Beeswing" by Richard Thompson, too. Whisper this: is he overdoing the vocal mannerisms now? But he's still so young!

So, I think I'll add Rewind to my own set.
