Sometimes it’s better to be there, performing your song, with the risk, even the likelihood that it’s not going to be seen in its best light, than to bail out.

Sometimes you’ve just got to keep on looking for ways in which the show can go on, even if it’s not going to be the best show you’ve ever done.

Sometimes the audience turns up and engages simply because it’s you, and you were prepared to be there and to try.

But it is not always clear whether that is, or was, the right decision to make.

Sometimes it will all be a mess. Sometimes it will be a success.

And sometimes it will be a combination of the two.

That’s what Rosie and I learned (again!) in last nights Homesongs4Life.
