The main emotion, amongst many others, is thank you. Thank you to Christian Aid for all the work they do around the world to help people and for asking Juba do Leao to be the main focus of their fundraising event at the Royal Northern College of Music last night and to the fantastic RNCM staff who quietly looked after us so well. Thank you to the audience who, full of enthusiasm and tapping feet, danced and cheered and stood up and looked happy and gave us more energy that we could bounce back, to the gifted musicians, The Eblana String Trio who played so beautifully, for being part of a community like Juba do Leao, full of talent and kindness and flair and joy and exhuberance.... and for life for its unexpected opportunities and change and chances of happiness.
Last night's show was a blast of fast costume changes, beautiful solos, wild dancing, such happiness, heart searing singing and instrument playing and loud, amazing rhythms and finally, drum lifting...and Holly Prest for having this vision and drive and all looking so good.
I'm sure I've missed out loads, but I wanted to get down some words about last night. Full, full of emotion and pleasure.
Joy. Sparkling, bubbling joy.
