Kristin Hersh gig was *incredible*. Tiny bar - can't even have been a hundred of us packed in there. I was sat right near the front, which was awesome. She did a great mix of songs from 'Crooked' and older stuff - 'The Cuckoo', 'Gazebo Tree', a few off 'Sunny Border Blue', two Throwing Muses songs (one brand new one - sounding good!) and ending with 'Your Dirty Answer'. (I wanted 'Your Ghost', but I got that at last week's gig, so you can't have everything.) She's just amazing live! Especially in such a small venue. Could have been singing in my living room. Wonderful.
She's been cat-sitting in Windsor and kept talking about getting cornflakes for the Queen. And also about her G string. She signed copies of her book afterwards and was so adorable, talking to people for ages. What a lovely person. Her husband-manager is also lovely - he had made sure there was help available for me from venue staff, as I'd mentioned in an e-mail that I needed wheelchair access. Very sweet.
And now I am extremely hung over.
