The world’s a weird place isn’t it?
You may have noticed.
This blog’s a pretty weird place too.
You may have noticed.
Maybe not.
Maybe today is the first day you popped in.
Maybe it’s not.
So I think I should explain.
Right now – August – we’re doing a sort of

I am playing two music gigs tomorrow at The Hertford Music Festival and, after a good rehearsal this afternoon, I am looking forward to it.
