During the last two days of our rehearsal period we’re still working hard on getting new material together. It’s been a long couple of days but things are shaping up nicely. We’ve had a filmaker with us shooting footage of our rehearsals which will be shown in Bahrain during the next leg of the project next week.

After rehearsal yesterday I headed upstairs to the main hall to see Richard Thompson and his band play tunes from his ‘Dream Attic’ album. Great songs and guitar work from the man himself with tight accompaniment from the band.

Tomorrow’s the day of our first show, playing to a Concert Hall full of school children in the morning, and then opening for Seth Lakeman - again in the main Concert Hall - in the evening. Wish us luck.
