Vic's Buskers open-mic hosted by Vic Cracknell

Another very pleasant evening organised by Vic Cracknell. I guess the stand out for me was Candice Botha who did some sort of "mash up" between Kings of Leon and Adele. I get the impression that she worked it out moments before she got on stage - that doesn't half p**s me off! Some people are just too clever. (:-)

My set seemed to go okay. I guess the notable moment was when someone started clapping in the "silent" part of Silent Valley. I'm amazed it's taken so long for that to happen actually. During every performance I'm internally trading off how long I want the silence to go on for and when I think people will think it's the end of the song. I obviously just slightly misjudged it tonight.

My set:

It's Just Not There
