TALKING MOOSE HEADS.

That's what we were doing today. We ventured down to The Red House with the camera and a measuring tape and a note pad, to do some much needed planning. Also we wanted to keep Mike the Landlord informed as to how things were going. He seems extremely delighted at the prospect of The Red hosting something different and exciting.

THE HOME OF THE MEDICINE SESSIONS

Anyway. The work will begin from now on, turning the sad, shabby room into a place of supreme groovytude. It will be easy enough to achieve, with The Ronald's genius for making things from nothing, his penchant for soft lighting and a stuffed animal or two, the place will awaken, make it's own magic, draw people into it's historical arms. There is a thing about old buildings, they know when something good is going to happen, they almost talk, the atmosphere changes just a little. I felt that room buzz today, it pricked up it's rain hammered window brows, lifted up it's proud but lonely shoulders and looked us in the eye. It is game.

Meanwhile, I am only half ways anxious about not being able to attract some great talent. I have a nice few waiting in the wings already, and some great lads lined up for the launch, but I'm waiting until nearer the time to announce anything, should the excitement be lost. All I can say is that I am very grateful for their enthusiasm, it is a proper joy!

So, if there is any one out there wanting to be part of something special, get in touch. The Red House Medicine Room wants you.

  6. Thursday nights are great for me... in the second half of the year. First half I'm either working till 7pm or working from 7PM. But I'd love to come down and read / sing / listen / whatever...
