Alison's Autumn Exercise Programme
You know what you need is healthy aerobic exercise. Ideally you should be looking at three times a week. Swimming? Running? Don't those get boring after a while?
What you need is to listen to music standing up. Dance too. You know it makes sense. It possibly isn't the cheapest form of exercise around, so you may want to mix it up with some other activities.
At any rate, here's my early autumn exercise schedule. Readers in and around London are encouraged to come along; others should seek out suitable locations for healthy exercise near them. Luckily, I have festivals to sustain me until then. Anyway, here's the list:
- LAU at Bush Hall, Tuesday 4 September. We saw them on Cambridge Stage 2 yesterday and they rocked.
- Oysterband at the Spitz, Saturday 15 September. I cannot remember looking forward to a gig as much as this. The Spitz is tiny. Wear light clothing.
- Bellowhead at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, Wednesday 26 September.
- The Demon Barbers at Walthamstow Folk Club, Friday 12 October. Electric gigs are a new departure for the club, and I encouraged this. The fabulous Demon Barbers in the Plough! Come! Tell your friends!
- Faustus with Fee Lock calling at Knees Up Cecil Sharp, Friday 19 October. Oh, yes, ceilidhs too, did I mention those? Even better excercise than regular gigs.
- The Richard Thompson Band at the Roundhouse, Saturday 20 October. The Roundhouse is a brilliant space with great sound. Hard floors; wear forgiving shoes.
- Moor Music with Gordon Potts Calling at Knees Up Cecil Sharp Friday 16 November. This is a cut-down version of the fabulous Dartmoor Pixies Band, and they're actually playing at the folk club two days later but I think we're going to miss them because of...
- Blowzabella at Bush Hall Sunday 18 November.
Do comment if you're coming to one of these, or if I've missed something obvious in the list.

Thanks for the reminder; I've booked us two tickets for the Oysterband at the Spitz.
