Woke up today and feel like I’ve managed to develop a cold during the night :( joy of joys; I’m playing support for Mossy tomorrow so this is exactly the sort of thing I don’t need right now.

Paulie’s recording the gig; and I don’t wan’t my voice to be all muffled and stuff. I wan’t my songs to come out with the full ability of my voice behind them. I need to go find some magical medicine asap.

Nervous as hell about the gig. I saw the article about it in the Kilkenny Voice and that sort of publicity means that this could be the largest audience I’ve played in front of so far; and the last thing I need right now is a cold.

Currently listening to every bit of Nick Drake I can get my hands on! Why didn’t I listen to more of this stuff before! Its exactly my type of music; absolutely brilliant, chilled out, relaxing, acoustic. Thanks to Hazel I may just have discovered a whole new musical influence :D
