Band: Richard Conway (with myself on percussion and some chap called Nick on violin)
Venue: The Boot, Histon
Date: 13/04/10
Audience: Old and folky, but very friendly
Set: A couple of Richard's originals, and some nicely picked alternative covers
Notes: First gig with Rich, whom I've previously played with in Matt Corrall Band and The Damsons. It was basically a gig in a kitchen, the back room of the Boot is a strange location for a gig, but it worked on an intimate level. The audience were old folk music loving types, but despite my reservations regarding the choice of songs they seemed to be open to anything, from Frank Turner to rare Costello. It was a nice gig, I felt too knackered to appreciate it fully - but it was gentle, and each act was nicely introduced by the organiser which made it feel like we were playing a gig in his house in front of his friends and family. The whole room singing along rather boisterously to our version of 'Its The End Of The World' was a nice moment, we could have played tighter but then again we could have rehearsed more than one session, but I enjoyed it all the same.
