jacey | Still Hanging In There

Today was a day of paperwork: contracts, mail, folders and files. The backlog of work hardly seems to be going down... or rather it is going down but more is arriving on my desk daily.

Yesterday I got to go to The Square Chapel Arts Centre in Halifax with The Churchfitters - a fine band from Brittany who are on my agency books. Superb concert. Four very well matched musicians. Rosie with a delicious bottom end (I'm talking voice, here) and multiple instruments including sax, whistle, dulcimer, uke and percussion, Topher holding it all together with outstanding guitars, Chris's soaring fiddle and ethereal bowed saw and Boris on home made basses, percussion and occasional mime. And Boris's basses have to be seen to be believed. A standup bass that started out life as a cauldren and a dustbin lid and a bass banjo thet used to be a saucepan... a kind of panjo. A brilliant all-round show. Dynamic, lively and a lot of fun.
