People And Places

A lovely evening and great performance last night in Congleton Library for the People and Places event. We arrived early and set up well in advance. Here's a pre-show selfie by Fall in Green:

I performed Robot and Christmas Smells, right at the start of the show:

And joined in to accompany a few others, with an ensemble for Johnny B. Goode (great fun!) and, Mike Drew AKA Mick Dick of the Forrest Dick Band for Liverpool Lullaby.

Andy Stubbs was as big a star performer as any.

There were a mix of songs, poems, acts; with John Lindley, Mike, Cherie and ourselves performing original material, which is always a joy. All participant in order:

Mark Sheeky, David Tuffin, Dave Boothroyd, Mick Lomas, Chris Godber, Bryan Hurst, Jane Harland, Glyn Roberts. Second half Andy Stubbs, Cherie Pingel-Tuffin, Fall in Green, Phil Poyser, John Lindley & The Poachers, Phil Williams, Mick Dick (The Forrest Dick Band 'light').

We arrived home beyond 11pm. Today has mostly been spent doing admin and filing of this event, and other things. The time consuming work of life orderly.

We, the Snow Business 'Electric Sprout Foundation', are in the Crewe Chronicle this week too, a great write-up. In visual art news, there will be some sort of public consultation into the Crewe Market Shed's mural. Installation work on this may take place next spring.
