woke up at 1 today, first good sleep since i don't know when. came down to find a string section hard at work in the lounge. the studio is adjacent to our wee house thingy we shall be living in for the next two weeks, and therefore leads, microphones and whatnot seem to trail in and out of doorways randomly. marc and eamon made what will probably be the first of many trips to the supermarket earlier this afternoon, puchasing wine and fish, while our stringheads, anna, aby and rob got some lush string parts down on a couple of brand newie's, expertly arranged by al....nice. eamon's just started vocals........all's well. curry tonight, hopefully.
more when it happens.

Got woken up by a bloody peacock this morning! I didn't know they could make such a horrible noise. This end of the road festy we're doing has peacocks, i hope they're not as noisy as this one. As Tom said, good start yesterday, strings sound great, eamons singing better with his feet on british soil, despite the heat. One thing i miss about the states... fucking air conditioning. Truck was splendid as always, we had a real family vibe going on with my bro and his wife to be and my girlfriend and lots of friends all present. A merry time was had by all. Unforetunately our sound engineer Joey Knuckles had to go to hospital in the middle of the saturday night with some lung trouble. He's resting up now but we'll sure miss him.
Watford? Need i say more, those who were present know what went down. It was one of the funnest and sweatiest gigs brakes have done ever. Kind of like a musical sauna. So hot it makes you a bit woozy. Thanks to everyone involved.
Brighton horn legend Phil Sumner is rearing his horrible face today for some blowing.
Speak to ya'll soon
