We got back home last night after spending Christmas visiting and enjoying the wonderful hospitality of our two families. Today my mum, my step-dad, Jenny, and I walked along the East Pier here in Howth. I’m playing tonight in The Millstone restaurant for New Year’s Eve, so I’m chilling out now. Listening to a CD that I found in a record shop near Botanic station in Belfast when I used to commute to work there from home in Portadown. I didn’t realise before but the vibes on it are played by Joe Locke, whose praises I was singing in my last post.
