good week. definitely a good week. i'm somewhat spent from playing 7 shows in as many days; one more tonight and then beautiful SLEEP before New York next week. I played my biggest show this week to 1000 people at Koko in London supporting Joshua Radin. As far as "things to do to feel fucking great about yourself" goes; playing your songs to 1000 people that've never heard you before ranks , i'd stay definitely top 3. The other 2 are best not mentioned here I think. Although, me being me..and luck being what it is..what happened when I went on stage..the battery in my guitar dies!! NO! There and then , i felt not so good but luckily Joshua's guitar tech Sean was better at reading the + and - signs on guitar batteries than me :) Thank you Sean and thank you Mr Radin and your band for having me on your tour.
The Water Rats show with the band on Wednesday was great too but they cut the sound off half way through the last sound. What the fuck, I ask you, is that all about!?!? Not good, apologies to the stage manager for my articulate phrasing when we spoke after the show but , well, scrap that, I take back my apologies. fair and square.
Met some lovely folks after the show at Manchester Academy on Thursday; thank you all for forking out your hard earned cash to buy gtgt cds and tshirts; it all goes towards making the new record which will be out in february. your support is hugely appreciate. virtual drinks to you all through cyber space.
Alright, I have another show tonight i need to get ready for ... cannot wait to get to texas the following week after NYC for a week of shows and then up to Nashville. Nashville! I cant wait.
peace and love and all good things to you all
