Hi pals, happy spring. I hope there are some flowers around for you, and a little more light in the longer days. I’m still visiting the Cultch most days, pianoing away. Another livestream show, if you’re not totally sick of those! May 24th at noon in vancouver, so a brunch show for the west coast, an afternoon show for the east coast, and a cosy sunday night show for europe and the uk. Send me your requests, i’ll do as many as i can! https://sidedooraccess.com/shows/dkZavEqL5fdaYZAeLW5K
what a night
oh my friends, what a thoroughly wonderful time I had last night, livestreaming to you from the dear old https://thecultch.com/home . I knew it could be good, from watching dan mangan in action on his own shows, but i was unprepared for the actual feelings of togetherness. thanks to all who came out, and of course huge thanks to the cultch (and lukas who set up the lights) and to side door and dan who wrangled the sound and hosted and chatted with you all. I was able to read the chat transcript today, so it was my time to get teary. I have written down all your requests for next time, including some Onegin, Here is a picture, Tuktoyaktuk Hymn, and more. A May concert will be announced soon, an all request hour as promised.
here is the setlist from last night, along with the albums those songs are on:

Teenage Wildlife (Bowie), from the album Love Waves
Burst (Hille), from the album Love Waves
