The last week has been great but it's been a lot of shows without a day off and I find it taxing on my voice, so I'm ready for a break. Last night's show at Cecil Sharp House in Camden has been the high point so far, because it's the home of English folk music. It's where the Vaughan Williams memorial library is housed; all the recordings of English folk singers stretching back to 1903 are there. Our rapper Bubs was with us too. He got the biggest applause of the night, although I think playing there was strange for him.
I was also heckled by someone from the Adam Ant Fan Club. Adam Ant Alone in His Padded Cell on Low Culture is about him. It's a song about how your heroes seem untouchable and then they fall from grace, but that's OK, it's part of the deal. They're only human, and that's for the better as far as I'm concerned. But some people misunderstand the song, so there was a contingent who wanted to heckle me - one lady in particular. But we had a nice conversation. I played the song and she was quiet after that.
We're not a very rock'n'roll band - playing art centres for folk fans is not exactly high-octane. But near the end of the set I try to encourage an outbreak of morris dancing. The current show is based around morris music, and it's what I grew up with. It seems to work; even people who know nothing about it seem to want to have a go. The Bristol audience were the best by far; about a third of them were up and dancing.
Right now I'm in Victoria station trying to get to tonight's gig. My car evaporated in a pool of brake fluid. I got halfway down Parkway in Camden and realised I had no brakes. I managed to pull over but it can't be fixed. Bit of a problem 'cause all our gear is in the car. Never mind - onwards and upwards.
