On Friday I played in Geneva, amazing city, very welcoming and the crowd was wonderful. The set went down really well, I really enjoyed playing and let out the stresses which were building up. My poor guitar felt the passion whilst I was playing and unfortunately by the last song I was down to 10 strings as opposed to 12! Fantastic end to the gig, where I was bought espresso and chocolates by couple of audience members.
Last night, Saturday, I collaborated on the opening of a photography exhibition in Made in Davanod, Bellegarde. The atmosphere was amazing from the beginning! Marc Sanche Photographe was launching his photographic exhibition, the photos are simply stunning. Some night time photos, some self-portraits expressing the dark side of the mind, and he has some incredible silhouette style urban photos. He's a very talented young photographer who doesn't have any inhibitions in explorimg his style. This guy has a good future ahead of him. If you are in the area this exhibition lasts until end of February at Made in Davanod. These photos are all for sale ... tempted to buy one! It was a pleasure playing the opening of your exhibition - being a photographer myself I'm really impressed! Well done!
The gig was great. 3 x 45 minute sets, the audience were interested in the story behind the songs and understood as I explained the concept behind the album. Playing with the light and dark side of the mind. Where there's darkness you can find light, where there's light darkness can be around the corner. Due to my mood yesterday The Darkness Fades was played with a blind fury and by the time I finished the song I was drenched in sweat, and the venue was silent listening to the word. After finishing I felt a sigh of relief from deep within and during the first interval CDs and Vinyls were being sold at the merch stall.
Thank you to the hosts at Made in Davanod - I can't wait to come back and play this venue again soon! Thank you to Marc Sanche, you are a very talented individual! And finally, thank you to s wonderful, attentive, warm audience!
