Dervish at the Cecil Sharp House, and Not Exactly the Week in Folk Music

Last night, despite the fact that we'd been at folk clubs the previous two nights and despite the fact that I had lots of packing and preparation to do for the weekend, J, G and I took in the Dervish show at Cecil Sharp House's Kennedy Hall. I'd done some legwork for their UK promoter, Simon, so he comped the whole family, which was a sweet thing for him to do. I hope they made lots of money last night, because I'd love for them to come back.

( The review is mostly positive but, I admit, mixed. )

And now we come to the day itself. I'm about to have lunch with G and then get ready to go to the wilds of London suburbia to do this harp workshop thingy. I'll probably be out of pocket for most of the weekend, but you never know what could happen.
