There's something about the sneak preview value of quiet acoustic gigs where new material is being tried out that elevates them above and beyond higher profile shows. Whether it's getting to hear a version of a work in progress that subsequently vanishes without a trace, or finding how something has been updated, it's one of the few ways of getting that little bit closer to what lurks in the near future.

And so it was on tuesday evening that I left work a little early to drive to another town I haven't visited in many years, find an unfamiliar but remarkable little venue and enjoy the company of a handful of friends of mine along with a number of old songs dusted off anew, and a few new songs being aired.

Like the first show on any tour when there is no clear idea of exactly what to expect, this was a great show and I'm really glad I went. Despite the drive and the late night. Here's to next time!
