The Gather

Last night I was at a lovely “open mic” called The Gather, 40 miles up the road in Tarbert. That counts as a local event for us.

There was an Australian comedian.
A local choir who took several starts to start for each tune.
A songwriter friend who cracked everybody up with his funny songs.
Three older poets who cheerily read their poignant, uplifting poems.
A local guy who borrowed my guitar to do some covers, a little bit drunker as the evening went on.
A young lassie who read an Angela Mayou poem, and a lovely one she had written.
And me.

It was an effort to get there. And it wasn’t an actual gig. But it was undoubtedly worth getting out the front door for.

I’ll be back.
