Now that all of those concerts have been accomplished, the future can begin to present itself. So lots of logistical arrangements were underway today, including the possibility of double-tracked trumpets, the Rezillos meeting the Flying Lizards (metaphorically), technical riders, potentially sharing a stage with some very famous reggae musicians indeed, assessing the relationship between an ideal fee and a minimum fee, and deciding whether it's possible to play a solo harpsichord recital 14 hours after thrashing a Steinway into submission (I don't think so). Also today came the extremely frustrating news that Shirley Collins came to our gig on Sunday, but her bus was late and then she couldn't actually get into the building once we'd started, and was stranded out in the pouring rain - argh! So my unspoken wish to post a picture here of me with Bott, Bowman and Collins was closer to fruition than I'd realised ... bugger.
