On Friday night we played in Derby at the The Assembly Rooms. It was a great gig, very friendly audience and lots of autograph signings in the interval...!
Wild Lament is selling well and the reviews are still coming in. On Saturday there was a review in The Times Newspaper, see below:
"Impossible to pigeonhole the Horses Brawl duo, Laura Cannell and Adrian Lever. Armed with recorders, fiddle, guitar, and guest artist Philip Thorby, they build improvised fantasias from scraps of medieval chansons, folk music and other ancient history. Ancient, but not dead; your foot taps and heart sings as these virtuoso magpie musicians duck and weave, making Northumbrian hornpipes and Guillaume de Machaut share common ground. A breath of fresh air."
Geoff Brown, THE TIMES 4 out of 5 stars.
Yesterday my car decided to die just when I was going to pick up Adrian for our gig at The Locks in Geldeston... grrrrrr... but Marmalmade very kindly came and saved the day and got us to the gig which was really nice, a sunny mini festival at a pub by a lock, down a mile long track where Adrian and I both used to go when we were at school. Then the lovely Al was our next transporter, he picked us up from the middle of the countryside and took us to Raveningham to prepare for the concert in the cafe. We did a little guest appearance with Sian Croose and Big Sky Choir, to a small but appreciative audience. Then a lift back to norwich to have a drink at the Playhouse.
It was a long old week, but full of music and ideas and reviews (our interview in MUSO is also out now).
Time to make some bread now, the website is updated, the washing hung out and I need to try and work out how to buy a new fiddle and a car...
maybe some wine will help with my maths!
