December '10 - Another lovely week in Newport despite cold and snowy weather. Mr and Mrs Clark performed NINE in the Artist Lounge as part of the Empty Shop Project final meeting of the year. Also the Continuous Cabaret with the enigmatic Dino Rovaretti. Despite the snow that caused so much chaos we managed to perform for 5 hours to a wide range of audience members, some of who stuck their heads in the door way for a couple of minutes others who stayed with us for an hour, left and came back later baring gifts - thanks Ian. When the shop emptied at the half way point...we continued but took to the street, animated and committed to draw people in. Then as the shop filled again we were able to improvise a little more and play up to those watching. As the day passed we were grateful to Chris and John Sherwood for seeing us over the finish line with Chris singing a couple of songs and both he and John Lindy Hopping to Count Bassie and smooching to Moonlight Serenade. Great fun and hopefully the start of something beautiful in Newport.
