Last night I went to an open mic in Brixton’s Queen’s Head. It was quite at first and I arrived an hour early so sat at a lamp with Proust and a glass of wine. Rachel Pantechnicon was the featue who I’d seen a few times before at Farrago but had’nt spoken until this time, and I also recognised one of the open mic acts.
I felt a bit embarrassed when I got off the stage after performing ‘Cinderella’ to press record again on my camera, and the microphone kept swinging away from me. Other than that, the audience were really supportive and seemed to like it. I really enjoyed it anyway and smiled throughout it. The video I recorded did cut off my head though.
