Just waiting for the storm to pass in Dover, so hopefully I'll make it back safe to Holland in the evening! It's been an action packed two week during tour and I've played 15 gigs all together, it's been great!
Some of the highlights:
Busking in Lymington, people chilling out in the sun and relaxing to some propper Accordion Rock 'n Roll, requests coming in by phone and a few kids helping out with the rythems by shaking about some of my fruitshakers!
Emptying Kings Head in Lymington, as I wasn't allowed to play inside the pub I emptied it in 30 minutes by playing outside! Sorry Mr. landlord!
Intimate gig @ Lenny's home, playing for 75+ year old Lenny who told me some amazing war stories, might have gotten his son addicted to kinks' song "Lola" aswell
Playing @ Walhampton Arms, and got to play Elvis' "Falling In Love With You" seven times in a row as most customers are 70+ of age and don't hear so well no more...
Playing in my faforite pub, Turfcutters Arms, and offcourse our traditional Lock Inn afterwards; played a few songs for my friend and bartender from New Zealand, Ged, Landlord Simon, his girlfriend Faith and Tim, who I happend to meet again today in a service station on my way home! Ged phoned his moher in New Zealand and I Played her "He'll Have To Go" over the phone, which happens to be one of her favorites!
Playing in the packed Fusion Inn in Lymington, crazy singing clapping and dancing by the crowd!
Topped it all of last night when I was invited by my UK agent Luke and his lovely wife Kim to have a traditional Roast Dinner, hmmm
A big thank you to all of you who came to enjoy the music and give me their support, it's been a great time and I'll be back for sure!
Lots of Love, Accordion Will
