No play today


November. The Grey Month. Time, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, to consolidate, practise, sharpen the sound.
Two stags fight over a good busking spot.
Played Monmouth on a recent Saturday morning and it was good. Moved to Church Street, but stopped playing in an empty shop doorway by a bookseller who’s setting up here (He kindly commissioned a talk from me on Fifty Plants That Changed The Course of History not three months back. We, both of us, were embarrassed to recognise each other. But I had to go.)
The following day to Ludlow, by train. I bought a Remembrance Day poppy before going to play. Then discovered the streets were closed off for the Remembrance Day Parade. No play today!
