Added Extra

Well, it was such a lovely experience playing, along with others, at a Homesong in Devon last night, at the house of a friend.

And you know what the big difference is between this kind of live musical happening and so many others. It’s the “getting to know you” part which is happening, before, during and after the gig. Talking to people, and actually getting an idea about who they are.

Of course it’s quite likely that I won’t see any of these people again. Yet it still feels like something far more than just turning up and playing some songs.

I like that Added Extra which a small gig in a home provides. I hope we never lose it. And I still recommend trying out a Homesong at some point, if you haven’t already. Either as a performer, or as a host, or simply as an audience member.

It’s lovely.
