THEN AFTER ALL THAT WEIRD AND DIFFICULT TIME, THINGS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN.
In the intervening time, I did quite a few things over the Zooms, but like everyone else all that time has melted away into an indistinct mess and I can’t remember what happened when. I did lots of Wobbie Wobbit’s lovely online cabaret (London. Well, everywhere really, but London is where Wobbie’s computer is, so as far as I’m concerned, that was a London gig), I did From the Bedsit (Brighton) alongside great musicians, Rainbow Fish (Somerset) and some others too.
I enjoyed it. It’s different, and I like different things sometimes.
Anyway, some real gigs, just for my records, really…
