Fri 22 May – Mediæval Bæbes
I headed off in the car from Cambridge around 5pm, and drove to Bedford and listened to Qntal on the way to get me in the mood. I parked up in Bedford and went to the very cheap and excellent Chinese buffet I like there. Yumm.
I then headed on to Milton Keynes - well Wavendon actually, to The Stables Theatre, which is in the country, and is all quite posh. I got there a bit early, expecting doors to open significantly before the performance time, and indeed the bar and merchandise was open, but not the auditorium yet. Not my usual gig - most people clearly middle aged, middle class Classic FM listeners - still I saw one lass with an Epica sweatshirt, so I wasn't entirely out of my element.
After a while everyone was allowed in and I took my seat in the 3rd row. Not entirely used to this - much more used to getting to the front by force of will / elbow as well as queuing early. Still makes a change.
