Jan 14th, Saturday – First gig of the year, at
the Betsey Trotwood, near Clerkenwell. Ellie had convinced Greg and I, along
with two of her friends Charlotte and Vicky to go see the Anxieteam (that’s Anxiety + Team), who are two talented illustrators
who also write very fun music, utilising cardboard painted props any art
department would be proud of. Ellie has a bit of a crush on the main guy, Jon
Burgerman, and chased backstage after to get him to sign something of his that
she had. A small rabbit doll thing, I’m not entirely sure. Bless.
Anyway, the gig was fun, they had lyrics like “I’m a veggie,
You’re a vegan, Lets eat soya, lets eat soya...” and “If you eat fish you’re
not a real vegetarian” so I was suitable entertained. Also, the support came
from a wonderfully chilled folk band (A guy and a girl on Ukuleles) called We Show Up On Radar. They were straight
out of a juno-esque indie soundtrack, loved it!
Also, a lovely man chased after us when we left our seats in
the bar to say that Ellie had forgot her purse – Kind acts in London should
always be noted as they are few and far between!
