Last night was back at Sin É for the regular Wednesday Dublin Beat Club. Atmosphere was fairly relaxed so I took the opportunity to try out a couple of things: did this medley/combo/segue thing with an old track of mine ‘tiburón’ and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m on Fire’, tried out brand new song ‘first light’ and I also played ‘pinafore’ (the cheesy poppy last track on inaccurate charm) for the first time ever. Fun fun!
