The highlight of this week was playing with Cloudstreet on Sunday night at the South Shields Folk Club. It was great to be playing acouple of tunes with Nicole and John. And the North Terrace Fan Club came along to cheer me on; thanks guys! (They also bought Cloudstreet cds.) Then today Nicole and I had lunch at a great cafe in town (Cafe Royal) and checked out The Sage (concert hall). It was lovely to spend time talking and exploring.
This week I've also signed up for my classes. I'll be doing a concert in August, a dissertation and a couple of compulsory subjects. I've already found the library and taken out 10 books. I need to be enthusiastic at this point because we've been told that international students go into "disintergration". Nicole reckons this will happen in December and will be entirely due to the weather! Apparently we'll enter the "reintergration" phase in time to go home...
I've found out where the sessions are around town. Unfortunately, everbody here just "knows" where stuff happens, because no-one could give me specific addresses. I'll have it nutted out soon.
Still working on the photos. Apparently my new phone doesn't exist, so I can't locate the download for Vista and the disk that came with my phone only covers XP! And I'm such a techohead.

It's a small world, playing with Cloudstreet... Say hello to Nicole from me. Let us know what sessions you found!
Hi Nana Em! Glad to hear you're settling in nicely. And that you should play with some Brissy locals... on the other side of the planet!
Just gearing up for the big week next week. Wish me luck!
Happy sessioning,
Mick
Would you believe my dad was born in South Shields....
