Mini-Foxwood previsit Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and play at Harehills Lane Nursing Home

It was our [mine and Diane's] book launch on Wednesday, and I guess Tim was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. From my point of view, he was in right place and absolutely right time.






For a start-off Emma has just asked if we could play the Old Folks Home, and for a second-off, Damon has just asked if Foxwood could do a press call for tele and the papers - for our gig celebrating the Weekend of Wonderful Things, including Trinidadian Zak Ove's statues.

In short, no one else was free, and Tim said yes to the challenge. What a hoot!



So it's a Friday in the school term-time, and only free-lancers and part-timers are free. This is where the unsuspecting Tim comes in. And I am so glad that he did. It was all a blast.

 


On the way to the Sculpture Park Tim asks "Will we be being filmed?".




Well, it was early!

At the park we meet Damon, have a cup of tea [of course] and head on down to X's statues. I have my trusty trolley with me, and we have two pans and a few of my lovely brand new tamboo bamboos [thanks, Chris]. Then we met the rabbits. Here's one.

We got filmed and photographed by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Look North and Radio Aire. It was a lovely fresh summer morning.

Then it was up to Stanningley to teach, then over to Harehills for our little gig. There we met Lamin playing a djembe, so our duo became a trio. And there wouldn't have been room for more. We played for an hour then zoomed over to see Natalie's bands, who were playing an event at City. of Leeds.
