Fantastic first festi of the Summer.

The gig on the Spit n Sawdust stage at Sunrise Celebration went well.

The set started off with ‘Rollin On’ with stripped down lyrics, there’s more to this song yet and i hope to record something soon. Second was a re-write of ‘Flowers’ which suprised even me, it left me feeling comfortable and went down really well. Very ‘Johnny Cash’ i thought! Following, came the intro and lead lines from a track called ‘Train Story’ which i’m still trying to rewrite lyrically so this just lead into a version of ‘Sah Lah Jah.’ All of these bar the first where in ‘C’ which helps my vocal immensely however it really didn’t work for the last. I played ‘Love’ next on the ‘Shine’ electric which went well, still need to sort out the vocal though.
The set ended with ‘i’ll see again’ followed by ‘Closer to Fine’ by the Indigo Girls and finally ‘Another Platform’ transcribed from ‘G’ to ‘D’ on tuesday and a bit fraught, however this went well and lyrically is satisfying.

So, several suprise songs for me, leaving me pondering my strongest set. Apart from a performance at Glastonbury festival, it’s onto recording this set now for a demo e.p., one step closer… thank you vicki purple and the Sunrise festival.
