taimatsuCONCERT last night was largely excellent. London Irish Centre, a tenner; storyteller Billy Teare, singer Niamh Parsons with guitarist Graham Dunne, and folky band Cran. All very good. Niamh Parsons is to blame for a lot of the folk stuff I sing at LARP events; things like Black Is The Colour, Poor Sally Sit A-Weeping and Fear a Bhata I first heard sung by her a few years ago at the Purcell Room. It was great to hear her again.
Today I am trying to be organised and not succeeding very well so far. I want to create pirate trousers for Sunday and am failing to work out how to do this. They should show off the stripy hosiery I intend to wear, and be easy to put together and not require me to purchase a pattern! I could make wrap pants cut to below the knee and gather them to a cuff at the bottom, but I think I might screw that up. Tips and ideas welcome. Also a show of hands from costumiers among my friends would be cool - it would be nice to know who actually understands what I'm on about when I talk about these things :)
Tonight Robert plays a bridge match, so I have the evening free topaint the town red run the dryer and fill the dishwasher. Woohoo.
