A good night at Norwich Arts Centre

It went well last night, it's so strange playing to at home! it's really good but you just keep recognising people every time you look up and want to smile. It feels like the first time all of the new pieces have really come together even though we were still finalising some notes in the sound check!

We changed the staging of it slightly so that whenevr we had Philip and I playing the recorder he would move to the side and we would play in stereo, this worked so much better than it has been recently with everyone staying in one place.

we had Jerry doing the sound and he is absolutely amazing, he makes everthing sound like it isn't coming through a pa, but is completely natural, he is the best sound engineer we've ever worked with, he completely gets us. Only trouble is he is so much in demand all over the world we have to keep our fingers crossed he is in the county when we are next playing here. ANyway enough gushing!

only five days till we start the album. I'm getting excited now, just need to make sure we get in and warm the church up enough in advance so our fingers will actually move.

Woken up by the cat poking my chin this morning and then squashing me, can't wait til she falls a sleep, then we'll see how she likes it!
