Wednesday 1st August

Some of the Salmon Band are in their first rehearsal. Matthews’ scores and recordings have been shared for some days now so ideas can burst collectively. It’s exciting. Many moments, eg. Davies harp solo version of fish number/river flow Summer melody, Harrington(cornet) and Christo(double kazoo)’s rampaging over Riding Mill summer/autumn summit. With Matthews’ hearing restored 30 minutes beforehand  it’s a great warm up for Saturday.
