Slow start…Aki feeling a little under the weather, so didn’t fancy rowing club this morning. Brought me tea in bed. Got up around 1030 and made brunch. Pottered about. Did some exercises. Walked to Newington Green via Highbury Barn. Only took about 30 minutes…so had a bit of time to kill before heading to No.60 for an early dinner. We shared chicken skewers and rice, and a warm halloumi salad. Walked on down to Dalston for the Cerys Hafana gig at St Matthias church. Large Victorian era church…great acoustic but very uncomfortable timber pews! Managed to sit through the support act, Astra Forward…a silken voiced experimental songwriter…a sort of half-speed Enya. Beautiful sings if a bit samey, but they had a liturgical vibe that was a perfect fit for the venue. Retreated toward the rear to watch Cerys from a standing position against a stone pillar. She plays the Welsh triple harp…gorgeous sound, and has a delicate voice…played with a sax player and a percussionist…standing ovation at the end…£19 well spent!
