Running Away with Me

Yikes. It gets away from you all too easily! So we opened on the 25th in Didcot, played our second show three days later in Henley and then a third in Botley, Oxford on Saturday last, the 2nd October.
Didcot's Cornerstone is a great new venue, only a couple of years old, and a superb place to open. Good crowd, big studio (if anything a little too big for our set) and we responded well to the anticipation, despite a gruelling get-in and dress that afternoon. The press was there in the shape of the Oxford Times (actually in the specific shape of Angie Johnson) and for the last time, the entire creative team.
Afterwards we're allotted a 15 minute furlough in the bar to meet friends and receive plaudits but we spend a good deal longer than that, so much so that by the time we're backstage again half the set is down and in the van. Even so, it's a long process - and with five extra bodies helping it doesn't begin to resemble a get-out after a normal show. Back home buzzing at 1.30am.
