We are practising at the factory today, my car is fixed (maybe I left the light on and it drained the battery...but how rubbish that one little bulb could do that! it's hardly my fault!)
We're running the sets for tomorrow's concert at The Red Hedgehog in Highgate, not really sure what to expect, will just have to wait and see.
There's a couple of new pieces in the pipeline, one of them has part of a Scottish tune written down and arranged by James Oswald in the 18th century and then collected in the notebook of an officer in George Washington's army and then ordered by me over the internet, so I have this little collection of tunes well travelled. The next bit has a new version of the Bellingham Boat, a northumbrian tune, slightly re-arranged. and I think there's also a reference to a Pierre Attaignment galliard.
hopefully we'll get a chance to develop that some more today and then we need to make some time to get some more gigs, so we can get on the road again. September and October are looking pretty good so far, and we have a few over the summer.
