Rathlin Jigs & Rigs Gig

Goin up to Rathlin tomorrow morning. Yay! I love that place (the small portion thereof that I saw last year). Hoping to explore the island a bit more this time round. Holly and Regan from next Sunday's choir will be up there too, so we're planning (approach that word with caution) to have a bit of a practice while we're up there.
Playing on Sunday; Sunday appears to be my most frequent gig evening. Six of them so far have been on a Sunday, must be that lazy lullaby girl's voice thing. Hangover music. I suppose a lot of it has been written with a hangover, and the sort of clarity that comes with one.

Choir Practice

Tonight I had a practice with seven of the singers for "Lying in Bed" off the EP. We'll be performing it a capella at the launch (all going to plan...). I'd been fairly stressed about it for the last few weeks; not constantly, but every so often a wave of it would wash over me. What if, what if not, etc etc, the usual torture we put ourselves through. Tonight's practice reassured me though. Twelve different voices, eh, it'll be quite something, I think.

In other news, today, I have been mostly laughing at this;
