17th March

Andrew's birthday party in Nottingham, and Emilie and I decided to make a weekend of it - hiring a car to take us up there, and stopping at home for Mothers' Day on the way back. At the party Andrew (guitar, sax, vocals) played a few songs with Chan (violin, guitar, piano), some with Rob (guitar), and they were of course the highlight of the evening. Chan (violin) also formed half of a duo with Alex Tew (beatbox) - the theme from Requiem for a Dream being especially amazing. I think the Most Valuable Player award for this one has to go to Chan and his loop pedal. St. Patrick's Day got in the way of our pub lunch a bit, but apart from that, the weekend was all good.
