Ok, now I definitely know. I can’t work without a microphone. I’m sure other people can do it and I’m sure they enjoy it, but I’m done. No more of that. I just don’t have the voice and delivery to make up for not having amplification, even if the room is small. Even so, I had fun at the International yesterday. I got on a bit late for my taste and think I had one drink too many to be at my best, but even so. It was fine. At one point a woman shouted “Be less depressing!” Just as I thought I was being my sunniest self.

Flying to Birmingham tonight to play The Glee Club. I have actually played it once before. About ten years ago I was visiting a friend there and begged them to let me do 5 minutes. I think I talked about masturbating porcupines and did miserably. Tonight I will choose another topic or two and hopefully get my revenge.

For those of you who missed the interview I did this week, here is a podcast of it. Episode 10.

Gonna miss Dublin. I really love it here. Love London too though, so really looking forward to next week.
