2 x 40 mins

So, we are gonna be doing two 40 minute shows everyday in Edinburgh expect Mondays. To mirror this and feel a tiny bit of what that might feel like, I am going to sing twice daily for a solid 40 mins. It would be really good if I could build to the point whereby I was doing that at 4pm and 6pm. It would be like conditioning, setting the body clock. It would also be useful if I could think about bringing anxiety levels down prior to these sessions. I wont be anxious here, but knowing my tendency to get stressy, I want to help my brain find ways of not knee-jerking into old habits of panic. I also turn into a bastard just before a gig... my personal step into diva-ism...it aint pretty! It's induced by panic of, 'is everything in place'... it's not about, self doubt, I can't do it, it's just about having everything in good working order. I don't mind mistakes, but equipment failure rattles me... but a good healthy reminder of it doesn't actually matter, we will communicate and do the best we can, even if all instruments and lights fail, we can still sing and tell stories. I'll report back on how I'm doing.
