 Drove to Ipswich late morning (no rush - it was a
day off). The hotel was out of town, nice and
quiet.
Had dinner
with Hank and Carol, it’s been sandwiches for about two weeks
so an early meal in the hotel restaurant was well
overdue.
Spent time
talking about the life of Django Reinhardt (next time I’m near
a good bookshop I’ll get the biography Hank has
read).
Again, not
much luck getting online but found a table and chair outside
the box office (a portacabin) to write these notes.
As we are
near to the main ferry links to Europe, we had lots of fans
over from Holland and it was good that we had time to speak to
them. In fact, we have had people from many parts of the world
come to see us, mostly from Europe but also from Japan, Canada
and the USA. Sometimes the tour schedule means that we have to
travel to the next town to do press and radio or to just be in
one hotel for two or three nights to get cleaning done.
Checking in and of a Hotel can sometimes take an hour or more
so we would rather drive overnight with no traffic and have
the following day to ourselves. This means that sometimes we
don’t get to say hello to everyone. Most of the regular fans
understand this and are a great support but unfortunately,you
can’t please all of the people all of the time!
The show was
one of the best and I think I have found some form to 'Little
B' at last.
