I love weekends. It difficult not to. I have tried to get out of the habiot of wishing the whole week away and just focusing on it (the weekend)
This weekend is going to be a humdinger.
I have organised for a group of musicians (most of whom I have never met) to play at the Winchester Mayfest. They are members of a company I started a year ago call Pure Acoustica. The whole idea is that no amps, microphones or p.a.s are used, it's all TOTALLY acoustic, geddit? We will be playing at the Discovery Centre (yes, it's the library) from 2 until 5 pm. After which I shall be heading off, guitar in hand, to a few pubs where other musu types will be playing traditional folky type music and hopefully joining in.
Those who know me will know my attitude to folk or "fulk" music. But this is different. It's a spontaneous almost improvised, natural kind of music. There will be fiddles and banjos, penny whistles and flutes. OK, I know what you are thinking but the ale will be good!!
My daughter is down for the weekend which is always a delight although she will want to get home in time to watch Eurovision.
What are your weekend plans?

So it's like an unplugged session or something? Or do you have mics to amplify the sound making you a common cheat like all the other 'unplugged' acts out there?
Nope. Nothing. Completely acoustic.
I will be recording it on to minidisk for which I will HAVE to use a microphone but that's as far as I go
