one wild and windy night

Tuesday 27th February 2007

1:16 p.m. CET Last night was quiet as expected and again I played mainly instrumentals until my last set, when I decided to do something I hadn’t done before and make it my only vocal set, despite there only being about three couples in the bar. I am glad I did though, as they seemed very appreciative, and were full of praise afterwards.

I was going to walk down to the beach this afternoon to get some fresh air and exercise, but it has been raining heavily since this morning so I think a jaunt to the terminal will probably be the extent of my escapade.

10:42 a.m. GMT For the first couple of hours of last night’s crossing the sea was very rough last night and unusually I felt rather ill as a result. Fortunately I managed to get hold of some sea-sickness tablets and I felt much better after I had taken them. Nevertheless I took it easy last night, playing about half and half in terms of vocal and instrumental pieces. There was a large group of businessmen in the bar who I later discovered were some of P&O Ferries senior management; I am fairly sure I gave a satisfactory performance!
