Three double bass gigs in two days and my fingers have survived although they are in that odd state of feeling both tender and tough which other stringed instrument players will probably recognise. I’ll give them a day or two off to recover from the double bass but I think I could do with keeping some extended practise sessions in the regime to maintain the callouses.

Meanwhile, thanks to those who passed by The City Arms this lunchtime and stopped to listen to The String Project. If you couldn’t make it, you missed a good gig, blessed with a few smiles from a beneficent sun.
