Day 7 of the tour began in a travel lodge in Feltham. I quickly realised on waking, that I had left my laptop in a safe place, in the Borderline, in Central London the night before. My laptop case also contained my phone charger, which promptly died. So I spent most of the day on a quest to retrieve the it via various trains and tube stops. Thankfully, it was still in the venue and I caught a train and arrived in Fareham in plenty of time, and not feeling narked. Ashcroft Arts Centre, was a joy: full of nice staff and nice surroundings, especially the dress room which is covered in band posters of previous gigs. It was strangely comforting to see that so many fellow folk acts have appeared there in previous years. Amongst them, Mike Harding, Swap, who appear in their poster,with biro engraved beards, and our accordion player Mike’s old band Sin E.
