midweek-end

Wednesday 7th March 2007

2:25 p.m. CET Had a much better night last night. The bar was busy, the audience were receptive, and the atmosphere was much more reminiscent of a weekend than a midweek evening (particularly a Tuesday which tends to be one of the quietest nights at this time of year). Another outing for Jessie last night (which I felt I played a bit better than on Saturday), plus a rare opportunity to play No Surprises by Radiohead, which was well received despite the majority of the audience being from the older generation. There was a group sat near me making several requests throughout the night, and afterwards one of the chaps gave me a rather generous tip, which was a real blessing. Also while I was packing up another chap approached me and told me that he had “only popped in for five minutes, and ended up staying for three hours”.
