GUEST,Nick Dow Sugawn Folk Kitchen (21) RE: Sugawn Folk Kitchen 21 Dec 18


I did a gig there when I was a shy 23 years old. The nearly ate me alive. It really did me the world of good. Just about everything went wrong, including an exploding light bulb behind the bar which nearly gave me a heart attack. I really did not stand a hope, but it was a lightbulb moment (sorry about that!) It turned me from a nervous floor singer into a club act in one painful night, but I stuck it out to the bitter end. I went away and did some serious work on becoming a singer. I honestly think you need gigs like that to teach you how to make it work. I remember I played a gig in London two nights later and remember thinking 'this time I'm going to do it right!' I didn't of course but I was about 200% better than the Sugawn gig, and winning an audience over stood me in good stead for working in Finland and Sweden. So thank you the Sugawn Folk Kitchen! A good kick up the backside every now and again is essential IMHO.
