NOTTINGHAM

The Playhouse is a lovely theatre, dont think i played my best but it went well. Just trying to remember if there was anything interesting that happened - dont get an internet connection thats good enough to post more regularly and my memory is getting worse and worse!

Not too tired at this point but i'm sure i'll start to feel it soon!

BARNSLEY

The civic centre has been done up and its great. everyone in barnsley seemed surprised that anyone had come out to the gig because they dont really know this venue is here i guess. 

I was nervous because there were poeple in the audience that i knew. My boyfriend had come along which was great (i miss him), my aunt and uncle and cousin, but also Andy Seward came along! He produced the album and he hadn't really seen my live on my own before so i was nervous as to what he would think. but it went down a storm :)

However, i did get horribly pissed. so so so drunk. Not been that drunk in a long while. Cant remember much accept troy (donackley of the bad shepherds) did some amazing magic. 

LEICESTER

Oh my lord was i hungover. i did puke once i have to say. never drinking again and all that. 

Dan my boyfriend took me to Chatsworth House, its was great , very beautifull. I love a bit of great architechture. Then we went for a sunday roast and headed towards Leicester. 

Dan dropped me off then had to go back home to Devon :( 
 Luckily the hotel was right opposite the venue, which is grand when your feeling a bit fragile. As a result of my hangover i didnt play my best and feel very guilty about it! 

Got back to the hotel and actually managed to get some real sleep, i dont sleep very well normally. 

GATESHEAD

Very excited about gateshead, mainly because the shepherds have been going on about how good the venue is 'The Sage', and because i love the accents up there. 

The hotel was pretty bloody posh for a tour hotel, and when we got to the venue that was lovley posh too! Home cooked food, beer and wine on ice, great sound, great everything. Not that the other venues havent also been great but this one seemed to stand out. 

I played ok, my voice was starting to go a bit though. 


DURHAM

Never been to Durham but have heard loads about the cathedral....i think i studied it in history of art at school. Went for a walk around the town and into the cathedral. Its freshers week so its heaving with students and we couldnt look round proper but still nice. 

Then we went on a pub crawl. i had given up drinking at this point - there is a dress i am wearing for the london gig thats a bit skimpy so i'm making a vain attempt to feel good in it. 

The hotel here was a bit wierd. cant put my finger on it. 

The Gala theatre was lovley, funny smell in the dressing room though! troy showed me the wonder that is instant miso soup. so while they were on stage i went to tescos and bought fuck-loads of the stuff. love it!

Really didnt sleep at all, bit freaked out. 

NORWICH

Up a bit early today to get to norwich from durham, Very very tired at this point in the tour. partly flu, partly lack of sleep, partly just general touring tiredness. 

After 5 hours we arrived in Norwich. i think i can now say i have been to every county in England, woo! 

I watched alan tittimarsh on tv, had some more miso soup, played shit games on my phone then time to go to the venue. 

Very cute theatre, lovely people, but i was nervous because my throat is now getting painfull as well as being generally shitty. I played, people enjoyed it and didnt seem to mind the huskyness. 

As i write this the bad shepherds are on stage, they are great. They are my dad Adrian, Andy Dinan, Troy Donockley and Brad Lang.  

Anyhoo, i hope something funny happens so i can write about it,

Love Ella xxx

MANCHESTER

So Band on the Wall is the venue. just been re-vamped by the looks of things, great toilets. As the first gig on the tour it actually went much better than i expected it to go. not many people in to see me but the Shepherds had a cracking gig. No drama, no mess. Then off to the curry mile we went, and stumbled back to the hotel at 2am. My mum and sister came along which was lovely also.

anyhoo, tommorow its lincoln,

LINCOLN

So, the drill hall. great looking place, much bigger than last nights gig. the cathedral looks over the whole of lincoln you can see it from everywhere. I was a bit nervous because my voice had gone all husky and dry, but people seemed to enjoy it and laughed at my crap jokes in between songs. I felt a bit distracted because i had spoken to my boyfriend before i went on stage and learnt that my puppy doreen and done a wee and a poo in the house which made me angry!

Got back to the hotel pretty early, about 11:30. practised some new makeup on my face, watched sarah die in hollyoaks, played solitaire, asleep at about 2am.

Hey, 

so i have had a week off, and have another week off! next gig is cambridge folk fest and i am really nervous about it. thats all i have to say bout that. 

just had flu really bad, not sure if it was swine flu or not, but my boyfriend took me away for a couple of days and it sorted me out proper job. 

very stressed out about writing new songs. not sure any of them are good enough, but time shall tell. i will try and work some new stuff into my set by the autumn. talking of autumn, i am going on tour with the bad shepherds in october! massive tour wich should be good fun. after that i will be going on tour by myself (with band) on a small tour of the uk again.

Hello !

so as you can see from my gig listings i am a very busy girl at the mo, i have a nice lot of festivals through the summer and a couple of tours.

The first tour is a mini tour really, i am doing 8 dates with Lucy Wainwright Roche. If you havent already, i would get over to her myspace right now and listen to some of her music, its gorgeous. These dates are happening at the end of june/begining of july so watch out!

Then after the summer is over, and the last of the festivals are gone, i am going on tour with....The Bad Shepherds! if you havent heard of them here is a breif thingy:

my dad had an idea to do punk songs with folk intruments, so he put this band together and it really works. its not a pisstake, its good music to sing and dance to.

so we have loads of dates all over the place in october, and i will be opening the show - sometimes with my full band and sometimes with just me and Andy Dinan who steps in to play the fiddle. (he plays with the bad shepherds really)


So i am finding time to write stuff for the new album too. its going to be a bit different than this one, but hopefully just as good! i always think the stuff i'm writing is shit untill i get a reaction from an audience so i will chuck a few new ones in the set when they are finished.

I also have a new puppy! i already have a staffy called Dave, and now we have a 9 week old rottweiler called Doreen. she is unbelievebly cute.
