Hanging The Star

The night before we headed to Belgium, I coerced my friend Cathryn halfway across London to my cousin's album launch.

Halfway Across London

It was a pre-big-album-launch at an extremely cool venue called Bush Hall. Crazy family reunion. Unfortunately, Dad and Marilyn couldn't make it as they were off on a Valentine's sojourner to Cornwall. Lots of extended family were there. My other cousin Jim (Alx's brother) was playing the drums - mostly with his hands, because that's just how damn musical he is.

Was a fantastic night, full of double bass, saxophone, brass and strings. It was my first day feeling human after an horrific head cold. Shared a bottle of red, then heard the immortal lines: "Want another? It's only a bottle each." Had to be a good night after that! Also received a lovely little commemorative bracelet made by Beady Bea Bracelets - worth looking up for special occasions.

Alx looked stunning. There's a nice picture on the HtS website if you click 'Bush Hall', along with a review from The Upcoming. There's also a new music video which you can watch online. And you can purchase her Concussion EP from the gig. Follow along and give her a 'like' on Facebook. 

Also give Kristy Clark a 'like' - seriously talented Aussie singer, song writer and musician who was supporting. Love her song Dots and Dashes. Have a listen on MySpace.

Them done good. So proud.
