So, tired and hungry, I put myself in the car to head back to Arbroath for day 2. A gig and Chinese take-away, through sheets of rain near Lawrencekirk. Easy.
It was a great gig. The Crown Inn has great acoustics, and once the football fans moved next door we had the room to ourselves. The room filled up with friendly faces just shy of downbeat, and it was great to see a bunch of people that I'd last seen a year ago.
Set started with about 30 minutes of lap steel songs, all original stuff, and moved into more delta blues to close. A short break, some talk of loud whistling, and then off to more originals and some covers (as requests from y'all on the floor). Thanks to all of you that created such a warm atmosphere to try out the new material. Lots of keepers.
Off to the next gig, let's see, solo is back at the Bond in dundee on September 6th. See you there?
