Called the Sunday evening #Playford at #Whitby #Folk week. I think it went pretty well (though naturally have a list of the things that didn't quite go to plan). Sleep now...

Played a fun gig on Friday night in Sheffield - for a #Playford dance at #IVFDF The first time the Small Square Band have played at IVFDF :)

I had a lot of fun playing for the Round's #Playford Ball this evening. Quite tired now! #FolkMusic
