UP at a decent time to get on with finishing off a batch of guitar earrings and badges for the merch table at tonight’s show…and a leather luggage tag I wanna try out.

I still have a wee bit of rehearsing to do for tonight’s show and then get al the gear packed up and loaded into the car for an early afternoon getaway.

We’re met at the venue by booker Scotty and sound/lights man Lewis and we’re soudnchecked and all sorted out in no time. I nip out int he rain and get a pizza while Margaret sorts out the perch table then we eat in the dressing room upstairs.

Support Ken Morton puts on a great show and by the time I take the stage there’s a full house, including some folks I’ve not seen for near on 30 years!

Another alcohol-free show for me – that’s five-and-a-half weeks off the bevvy and counting – and I think my abstinence is paying off.

There’s lots of chat and pix round the merch table after the show and we give Catriona and Will a lift back to Doune…a grand night 🙂
