Yep, we did - just got back. The choreography went fine (walking on and off singing at the start and end of each set), neither of us forgot any worms, the 12-string stayed in tune (mostly), Breezy was at his best behaviour (disappointing really!), and I even got a few titters from the message at the back of my T-shirt. Everyobody stayed till the end (no locked doors), and they joined in all the choruses. The Singing Ref was there with Anne, and he did a very nice 2-song spot (Looking Like Early Snow & Where Ravens Feed), all the floorspots were very good. Juliette was there too, with her guy (whose name I just fogot again, colander-brain me!), they stayed at the hotel for the weekend, combining pleasure (weekend away) with delight (listening to us! He!).
We got lots of praise and thank-yous at the end, and I sold 7 CDs (5 on the night and 2 the next morning to my hosts).
Bill and Graham, the organisers, made "we want to book you again" noises also, which is encouraging.
Here's to the next one, this Friday at Seaford...I will start another thread
