Hello Brigitte

Went into town today to have a look at the Arts Theatre. The main stage is pretty big. Quite scary actually. This idea for the show - instead of doing it as a gig I could do it as a kind of music festival and get bands to come on to play… which means I don’t have to do it all myself.

Had a phone call from a serious ex-lover of mine today, completely out of the blue. She just wanted to see how I was doing, which is weird… I started to tell her about the show I’m trying to come up with, based on my music, and I managed to stop myself just in time before telling her how she was going to be a part if it. Because I think I know what to do now - I think it could be the story of our relationship… There’s a lot of stuff we went through, how me met at school, and I always thought she would be the one, but she wasn’t, but not until I had exhausted every possibility of trying to make it happen. Then when she got married it all became a little complicated… Obviously this is going to be difficult to do on stage without getting her into some trouble with her husband… So I then spent two hours trying to think of another name I could call her instead of Natalie to protect her anonymity. It took a while - but I got there and from now on, as far as the show is concerned she’s going to be called Brigitte…

Always quite fancied the name Brigitte - very French. So that’s something. Got her name sorted at least. Just the rest of the show to work on now…
