We recorded I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue in Doncaster on Sunday 12th May, and appropriately Jeremy Hardy’s celebratory event took place the next day at Battersea Arts Centre. A packed house in the ball room, and every aspect of Jeremy’s life and interests was covered in 4 hours, mercifully with a lengthy interval. We all learned stuff about this impressive and much-loved man that we didn’t know, and speakers ranged from comedians and radio producers to Jeremy’s political contacts in Palestine and beyond.
I took my Clueless at the Keys to the Corn Exchange, Dorchester on Saturday 18th, playing to an appreciative and nearly full house of about 90 people. The show went very well, and I need to work up an encore.
Barry Cryer and I play Pershore near Worcester with his Strictly Come Joking this Friday, 24th May.
I’m playing for a good deal of silent film at Kennington Bioscope the following week – Wednesday 29th May and Sunday 2nd June, all of it comprising films I don’t know, so I’ll need to keep my pianistic wits about me.
The second of the Clue recordings takes place at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry on Monday 3rd June.
