Rochester castle in the sky

A local show in a castle, what a nice idea. Great stage, lovely people and a town worth walking around. Ice cream. The gig itself was for me good fun, i felt very in the moment with the band and the songs, i ducked and dived my way through the curves of the evening and built up a sweat. Back stage everyone seemed in good spirits, although i think that Glenn had a tough night with technical issues. And when one of us suffers we all seem to. From the stage i could see the turrets of the castle and the lights flicking back and forth across the crowd, nights like these are few and far between as life moves into September. It feels very much like we have played the hits set now and in the near future i hope we can tag on some new songs, maybe early next year. My guitar played well, for the last ten years it has been in a cupboard but now with the aid of Jon Dickinson the master guitar lover and maker, it plays like a dream and sounds just great. A violin Danny Farringdon from Nashville. Side of stage to my left, all i need to know about my happiness.
