Delta Ladies @the Hot August Fringe

Elephant Shelf, music

We played our first ‘Hot August Fringe’ date last night, it went OK though we did not get quite the reaction we can sometimes get. There was quite an over run from the first act so we had to get on stage PDQ and that slightly killed the vibe. Not sure if the audience were expecting something more comedic as we are primarily a music act still we had a few folks in the house and its a very different kind of venue for us and so a bit of an experiment. We could not engage with the audience in the usual way. Perhaps they were too sober?

Should I press the CD before the money runs out completely

Diana Stones Songs, music

I find the idea of pressing a proper CD quite appealing, and although it would cost a few bob it would be quite satisfing to do.
The track listing is pretty much sorted out so the question then is how many to press 500 or a 1000? I feel that it would be good to have something tangible rather than just the downloads. It would at least be some sort of a statement.
