Deja Vu, Reading (RG1 2LG)

Bohemian Night open-mic hosted by Rob Sowden

"Did You Feel The Earth Move?"

My performance tonight wasn't as good as Monday's. I'm not quite sure why but I couldn't really get into it. I do find the microphone a little distracting at Deja Vu: the flooring of the stage area is uneven and as my playing style is quite rhythmic, the microphone sways about in front of me. As a result I'm probably concentrating more on keeping my mouth in front of the mic than what is being played. Anyway, if anybody wants me to play through minor earthquakes, I'm now taking bookings.

songs played:

Silent Valley

Can't Let Go

The Things That She Said
