A lot of musicians are keen to get their hands on their allotted quota of drink tickets at a gig asap of an evening. Me, I'm usually keen to see what I can swap my drink tickets for, apart from drink.
This weekend was the Bristol Acoustic music festival at the gorgeous Saint George's Hall. The festival is totally one of my favourites; it comes at just that right time, when the post-holiday depression would otherwise hit, and it's in a venue that is the opposite of your average festival setting.
I played three gigs. They were fun. But the best thing,for me, probably, was convincing skeptical bar staff to let me exchange my beer tokens for:
a) a slice of dark chocolate coconut polenta cake
and
b) a bag of turkey and sweet chestnut stuffing crisps.
Bartering is delicious. And you can drive afterwards. (If you have a car. I took a taxi.)

Good bartering, surprising variety of food at St George's. But did they have peanut butter and choc chip ice cream? Peter's did, for today's apres ski snack.
i want that cake.
Taking a cab after a bad of turkey and sweet chestnut stuffing crisps was probably a good call...
