After Gig Come Down

It was quite a good gig, with some great tunes played, despite this old laptop overheating at one point in the proceeding. Still, worth doing and some good vibes, despite losing a bag of pipe tobacco either at the venue or on the way to the bus stop for the late bus back to Seaford.

Tired now, so bed is the best place to be now.

Northern Lights Halloween Funk Playlist 29/10/14

Eamon, the event organiser, does not know how to count the last Wednesday of the month. He expected me too do my gig last Wednesday but it  was not the last Wednesday of the month. So i had to share stage with a folk troupe. Well, to be exact, they were  upstairs from about 9 pm  and i was downstairs from 8 pm playing my jazz, funk and soul grooves.

They finished their little gig before i did as it got quite busy. I finished dead on midnight.

Apart from a period when the laptop overheated and needing a reboot, a bit embarrassing , the night went well.

Different Route

A good journey back and one in which i had no altercation with a bus driver.The reason is that i went on a slightly different route by avoiding using Brighton & Hove buses.Apparently, i heard from a bus driver, that one day Arriva would not except any more Explorer tickets from B & H buses , and hence B&H buses will not accept Explorer tickets from Arriva.

I used an Explorer ticket from Compass , whom operate from Worthing, and took their bus from Seaford up to Polegate via Alfriston, and then caught the Stagecoach bus up to Tunbridge Wells and Arriva from there to Maidstone and home. Hardly a murmur from any of the bus drivers, and the bonus was that it is the cheapest ticket , only £6.20 from Compass. I shall use them again!

Off to bed now, as i am very tired.
