A slightly less stressful week this week. Monday night we played our first session at The Rumsey Wells, traditional Irish based, not Horses Brawl at all although Adrian and I were playing. It was also with the excellent Kate Ross and Tessa on flutes and whistles. It was really nice to sit and pass tunes around - having to think of a tune and keep it all up in the air was a good test, like a volley, we dropped it a couple of times.
Yesterday I also put together an article for The Recorder Magazine. Today, a bit of tune research, general practice and I'm giving a few fiddle lessons. Tomorrow, a couple of whistle workshops in Schools in Thetford. Thursday and Friday Horses Brawl rehearsals and a bit of onepage updating with our new album quotes and Saturday we have an afternoon and evening gig at The Red Hedgehog. Followed by Adrian's solo gig at Raveningham on Sunday afternoon...bit scared to look at next week, but I think the madness has calmed down a bit at least.
Feeling very positive about things, though am regretting trying a good violin, there's still no turning back!
Anyone want to by a baroque violin?
