BREAKFAST at the hotel is good, if a little strange…the hot buffet has a kinda mixed roast veg – courgette, onion and peppers. It goes well with the sausages and mustard. I like it!

Even with the air con on full blast it’s still pretty hot in our room. We catch up on some work and chill before heading to the venue for my 4pm soundcheck.

Gates open at 6pm and I’m not on ‘til 9pm so there’s plenty time to sort out the merch and get fed.

The artists area is busy – I’m last on and the band before me seem to have brought a load of pals ‘backstage’. It’s all good tho’ and I’m introduced just after 9pm.

I play 90 minutes straight through, joined by harp player Marcian in Good Friend Blues part way through.

It’s really hot and sweaty….seems the audience enjoys my more ‘dynamic’ stage persona than the very restrained performers before me 🙂

After an encore I’m whisked off to the merch area to sign stuff and for a seemingly endless stream of photos.

Once everything’s packed up we chill for a drink with the booker, promoter and some of the other festival artists.
