Band: The Dowsing Sound Collective
Venue: Fen Edge Festival, Cottenham
Date: 23/06/13
Audience: Rammed, joyful
Set: Higher Ground, Under African Skies, Ho Hey, Terrible Love, Marry You, White Sky, Radioactive
Notes: Ahead of the huge gig at Ely Cathedral next month, this was an opportunity for the 'new' Dowsing singers to get a bit of stage time - so just a choir of 50 or so yesterday (for the Ely gig both choirs combine and there will be a hundred of them). A stripped back performance at a family day out, with the band being just Andrea, Nicky and myself, we played to an absolutely packed tent - the new singers all sang with gusto and confidence beyond their experience, the voices combined sounded beautiful - especially on Terrible Love, which is a magical, magical song. Resounding and a joy to be a part of, the audience seemingly loved every second of it. I dashed straight from there to a session with Canadian singer-songwriter Damian Cox, and then dinner with the stunning Cat - all in all, a top way to spend a Sunday.
