Vive la Fip

My table, obviously...

When I arrived at P's last night I explained to the waitress that I was meeting friends. In response she nodded enthusiastically and motioned towards a table of three young, attractive women of oriental orientation. My table, obviously...!

Mass-Observing on the train...

Mass-Observing on the train to London on Saturday. A painfully new couple allow the universe to revolve around them and their exhaustingly bland conversation. Hooray!

"A sick musical mind": Danny Thompson and Darrell ScottPavilion Theatre, Brighton, Thursday 18th November

Danny Thompson (Darrell Scott crouched behind)

Darrell Scott describes Danny Thompson as having a "sick musical mind". Perhaps it's true. Danny Thompson has played with everyone, on so many albums, he's got to be sick, it's unfathomable. And he comes across as this very down to earth, funny and friendly bloke who has both generosity of spirit and unending passion for music. He is just so at one with his bass Victoria.

Darrell Scott is a warm and wonderful guitarist and singer. One of the few voices I can really listen to and take in the lyrics. What a storyteller! What a musician with maturity and a very lovely sounding guitar, indeed.

Thank you, Danny and Darrell - you made my evening!
