So no posts for a few days, and here’s why:

Monday: lunchtime recital with the String Project
Monday: extended pre-recording practice with the Filthy Spectacula

Tuesday: desk job, therapy
Tuesday: extended pre-recording practice with the Filthy Spectacula

Wednesday: first meetup and rehearsal with (primarily) events string quartet
Wednesday: practice with celtic-Americana-function band possibly (or possibly not) still called the Bateleurs

Thursday (today): desk job
Thursday: audition with Ella and the Blisters (google them – they’re loads of fun!)

and coming up:

weekend: demo recording with the Filthy Spectacula (20 hours in 2 days, on the south coast)

There may have been some eating and sleeping in there but I’m not really sure, I only remember a lot of time on public transport reading. I’ve reread The Picture of Dorian Gray and got a fair way into Lyrical Ballads, think I’ll get onto Frankenstein quite soon. This is partly what I’ve got sitting around on the shelves but also nineteenth-century Gothic should put me in the right frame of mind (unframed?) for this weekend’s recording sprint-marathon.
