I'm coming out of sleep deficit just in time to have an enormous pile of stuff to do before Saturday morning. Today I sent out all the remaining scores to everyone for our Edinburgh gigs, and started to assemble the running orders to go in the printed programmes. I thought this particular task would just take me an hour or two rather than most of a day: identifying the original source for every tune isn't always straightforward, but it does give the running order a certain authority in print. Meanwhile, the distribution of scores and parts by email has led to the discovery of a new swearword: 'PDFing'. As in 'I've still got the PDFing parts to send out'.

While typing I've been listening to Kate Bush albums on Spotify: I hadn't realised that Eligio and Zan were both playing on 'Aerial' - this makes them infinitely cooler than I am, damn. Still, they both got their names spelt wrong in the credits, so we're quits (see name in lights below).
