julietThere was that talk on Monday, poker on Tuesday (didn't win anything. Never do), rehearsal on Wednesday, & then a gig last night.
Went to see Philip Jeays & Momus in Wimbledon Library. And very fine it was too. Initially met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beingjdc in the pub. Pubs are always a good start to a gig; as of course is meeting John. Especially since he had bought me a lovely red crushed velvet scarf from Oxfam. Also there was Nicky, & a chap called Alex whom I have not previously met. He appears to be barrysarll on here, so there we go.
Wandered round the corner to the library in time for the first band, who were href="http://www.projectadorno.com/">Project Adorno, who do poetry with twiddly electronica as a backing. Which is better than it sounds, I assure you. Most enjoyable, nay even amusing at times. Hurrah. Then there was the lovely Mr Jeays, who was, unsurprisingly, lovely. He did the farmhouse song which I don't know the name of & which is probably my favouritest. And he did "The Great War" which I have not previously heard (in the one gig of his that I've attended) but it was gorgeous. And many other equally ace songs. We even got an encore - & even *better*, it was "The Younger Mr Jeays" or whatever he calls it, which I was enormously impressed with last time around.
So I took the opportunity of the interval to a) get more wine & biscuits from the table at the back (a gig providing wine & biscuits! Enormously impressive) & b) acquire, by means of handing over CASH, a Philip Jeays CD (which, I note, I played to Pete when I got home & which he hated. No taste, that boy). Got it signed, as well, & he is a very nice man as well as being a good singer/songwriter.
Momus - well, I started off not liking much, but then I got more into it as the gig progressed. Wouldn't be much inclined to buy anything, though, at least not of the current album which was basically all he played. Good gig all round, though. Like gigs.
And then more busyness: I'm meeting up withwintrmute tonight, & tomorrow I intend to go SHOPPING in Camden & then there's a party in the evening...
Am rather knackered, as a result of all the doing things, although possibly less so than I should be. Hopefully next week will be quieter. Doing things is good; but I do need a break once in a while, I feel.

I've got a musical interpretation of 'Excerpts from William Blake's Marriage of Heaven & Hell' which I kinda like; could pass it on if you like.
