I was able to play a wonderful Homesong gig on Saturday evening at Clachan here in Kintyre. Lori hosts her Homesongs in a a kind of big shed/garage by her house. She decorates it for the occasion and it has loads of character. Heating supplied by a small calor gas heater, so coats were worn by the audience and me. But it didn’t feel uncomfortable for the 2 hours or so we were there.

The gig had all the features I like. A decent audience considering other events on the night. An intimate, unplugged set with good banter and the chance to chat to everyone who attended. I tried out a couple of new tunes along with a selection of older material. Only a couple of cock-ups on lyrics and guitar. A nice pot of half-time chilli. A few extra (funny!!!) songs from my mate Chris. Great feedback. And I sold all but one of the CD’s I took along.

All in all a lovely warm up for Christmas.

ps. Lori’s mini -barn features in the Homesong video we made a few years ago.
