Purley Festival, day 1

Whilst I was only there for a couple of hours today it’s lovely to see a local event like this and see so many people enjoying the park and some live music.

A bit live at WOMAD

This is from way back in the summer, but we did manage a couple of songs on one of the open mic stages at WOMAD, which was great fun actually. In fact, we should do it more often I think.

Laurie Anderson “Dirtday” at the RHF

My ticket for Laurie Anderson’s amazing show on Friday. It was everything that I’ve come to expect from a Laurie Anderson show. Amusing, emotional, political and personal, it was a great performance on every level. I’m so glad I went along.

I wish she’d release another album. I know it hasn’t been long since her last, but the material from her last few shows is so good I’d like to hear it again.

In any case, it was a superb show and I’m glad I made the effort to get along to it.

The Half Moon in Putney

I hadn’t been to this pub / venue in a long time, and it was really nice to be back. It’s a great little place. I went with a bunch of friends to see the band ‘Mad Dog McRea”, who were good fun to watch really. I think I’d almost certainly go back if there was someone good on there.

Laurel Halo at Field Day

I’ve only recently started to listening to her material, and it is very good, although there isn’t too much of it around. I believe there’s an album coming out this year. Anyway, she was really good, I liked the set and it seemed to get a good response from the audience too.
