Recording and Northambleton Strumpets this weekend

Hello Dearest Diary

I hope that you are keeping well.

Well we have been back in Gayton (ha haha …ha), recording for our forthcoming album. All is going very well dearest diary, except Rachel, of all people, seems to have developed an attitude problem.

The problem began when she was recording some hand clapping on one of the tracks, and lovely Chris commented on what a good clapper she was.

(I was suspicious that this was not what he had actually said dear diary, but I kept my thoughts to myself.)

Anyhoo, this compliment went straight to her head and she’s now carrying out all manner of diva strops.

For example. Last weekend I happened to mention that she was utterly tuneless and for the love of God we’re just going to have to record the whole fucking thing again and had she any idea how much this was costing the business and how could she have done this to me, and that she was ruining my artistic vision, and that I couldn’t work with amateurs, and didn’t she know who I was, and dear diary, no word of a lie, she SIGHED! before carrying on recording.

I kid you not, she exhaled in a pointed, and unpositive way.

I’m at my wits end, dear diary, I really am. Where will it end? I’m living in total fear of it one day getting so bad that she mutters “whatever” under her breath.

It’s no way to live.

In other news, dear diary, Invocal will be celebrating their return to Northambleton with a special 17 hour set in the Racehorse Stables. Also playing will be Lois Barrett, a lovely girl from Towcester-Wheres-That-Again.

I do hope lots of people come dear diary, we have some new songs and I have had to buy Rachel a new mandolin in the hope that it quells her hideous new temper.
