well people, the tour is hurtling to its close. two more shows, lancaster and then london, and then away back to canada i go. to write songs about ufos and practice buffy st marie with the cbc radio orchestra. and make christmas cookies!
lovely show in oxford last night, with a cosy crowd of 30 stuffed into the small and sophisticated bar at the phoenix. it did feel like a great living room party, with drunken bonhomie and all. and then the night before at the ccanw in exeter, i found my place! a shed in the woods near the moors, with birds around and excellent people. we got all caught up making plans for the future; more shows, maybe staging an opera on dartmoor…..anything could happen. it’s great to find these pockets of enthusiastic sanity all round the world.
when i get home next week i’ll post a bunch of tour photos. mostly of taxidermied animals (thanks chris and ulrike, most perceptive of hosts) and great food i’ve encountered. alright then, tea’s ready. ttfn.
Enjoyed the show last night hugely! It was great to have this nestled in with the film listings and to come along on the offchance, to end up discovering some great new music.
We love the Phoenix bar, and you made it even better. Thank you!
Great show. I second the above – last night the Phoenix Newsletter saved my life.
That was some of the best ivory-ticklin’ I’ve seen in… well, ever. Wicked. I’ve had the album on all day, and you can look forward to an order for your entire back catalogue when you get home ;o)
Thanks again, and sorry if I was a drunken bonhomme…
Hej Veda!
Unfortunatley I did not manage to see any of your shows in Europe this time…so I am very very sad! And i cant get any cheap flights for tomorrows show in London…
I hope though you will return to Europe soon. A greeting from Vienna! Stefan
We (myself & g.friend Sarah),were totally blown away with the autumn leaves by your performance at the CCANW…Oh do please come back and do that opera on Dartmoor. PS X
