With a little help from my concert going friends

 I discovered a new music venue, the spiritual bar where I saw Morten Lava

 Izzie Yardley (for the second time this week)

 Simeon (who I saw once before (I think it was round the corner from here, at The Monarch))

and in the end there was an open mic for anyone to come up and play some music, do some spoken word, recite poetry or do some comedy and this guy came up and played a few songs for us, unfortunately I don't know his name).

If I were a paparazzi style photographer

I guess today would be remembered as the day I bumped into the smiling Rod Stewart and his wife somewhere in Mayfair (close to the house with Jimi Hendrix's and Handel's blue plaques), but as I am not it will be remembered for Omni's concert in Rough Trade

and the wonderful evening at the Monarch entitled Charlotte Campbell presents the Songwriters'circle 

in which four female buskers from London (well busking in London)

presented their very different 

takes on life.
