Tony Benn says “Bibitty Bobbity Hat”

King of Despair were great on Friday night. Their bass player Darren has left the band and headed off to sleepy London village, good luck to him, so Dai had to play bass. He did a bloody good job as well. They played with a lot of energy and sounded a lot more rock than usual, which was no bad thing.

Rhys and I had a very good time and we met someone who was interested in sandwiches. I suggested that tartar sauce could go very well with cold roast beef, which sounds like madness but I am sure it would work. Tartar sauce is a great sauce and underused in my opinion.

The weekend though was very long and left a grey taste in the mouth. We did finally make some music, and I almost managed to communicate my thoughts to Rhys regarding the piece we were working on. I found it quite difficult but Rhys understood despite the words and hand gestures I was using, so all is well.

Going to the gig on Friday served to make me even more impatient to do one myself. This break has really been far too long. Making music is the only thing that I feel competent doing and the only thing which I really feel proud of so these months of not doing much of it were a nice rest initially, but now I am getting very impatient. Monica has suggested that we add a cover of Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes to our set, and I think it is a great idea. We have a lot to work on when we both get back from Denmark.
