What an excellent night. Chris Hall, you'll be sorry you missed it.
Jon took another couple of steps towards seamless circular breathing, and in fact everyone seemed to have made progress in one area or another. Great to see people developing.
Darren in particular was on fine form - perhaps the most inspired I've seen him for a while, even playing didge and djembe simultaneously. Not only that, but at the same time. We practised some stuff in preparation for BloxFest, and at the risk of spoiling it for the thousands of people who will be supporting us there and who will be reading this, here are a couple of video clips:
Of course, it's entirely possible we've just peaked and it'll be all downhill from here...

Almost a full house this evening...welcome back Paul!!! We introduced the thirty second solo round for the first time to give everyone a 'feel' for performing in front of everyone else. This went down very well with good input from everyone especially the beginners..looks like this will be included in the routine from now on. Had some fun with rhytms again and enthusing about the up and coming Singing Sticks Festival In its second year it looks like it might be a busy one with the Isle of Wight festivla being cancelled this year. Looking forward also the the Bloxham May Fair as well..should prove to be an interesting day just pray the weather behaves!! Looking forward to seeing everyone in March..keep practicing!!

Had the paps round this evening..well one freelance journaliist from the Sunday Telegraph to be precise! Clive was with us for an hour talking to all of us and taking notes...feedback I got was that he thoroughly enjoyed himself and referred to us as a diverse bunch of characters. Not sure when the article will be coming out but will let you know as soon as I hear anything. Thanks to Chris and Jon for sorting out the Bloxham May Fair for us..should be interesting (anyone got any ideas for the stall?) hope we can do a couple of workshops as well. Adrian - do hope you can sort out your leaky pipe mate..give Ant a call and I am sure he will help out. Anyway back to the evening and we had a fantastic time wih the rhythm game again and Simon had fun trying to put the hardest one together but Chris managed to accomplish with ease! Lovely to see Paul after such a long time and looking forward to his resuming his 'journey' next month. Overall a wonderful evening and always amazed how time flies when you're having fun. Let's all have bets as to how long it will be before Jon cracks the CB?? Looking forward to seeing you all next month and if we can get an extra session in before then all the better!
