Willy had agreed to fill in at the Alpha Bar tonight when the manager had called him in a panic because the act of the night had contracted the flu. Willy was a reliable standby and he agreed to play a set for the night- and tomorrow too. The truth of it was that he was dying to get on stage and lose himself in the music. He loved Fin, loved him so much, but Willy was not cut out to be a caretaker. He loved being at Fin's side but he needed to get out of the flat.

Phouka had told him he would bring Fin to the bar if that was the young mortal's wish and Willy gladly agreed to that. So long as they were out, that would be wonderful.

Willy took the small stage with his guitar and had his mate with a hand drum sit on a stool to the back to keep the time for him. He played some new music, not his own but he made it his own. He sang Someone New and From Eden and decided he'd sing Cherry Wine as well. And a few others, all soulful tunes that he felt in his core.

"And this one might be a good one to find a body to dance with," Willy suggested...the words laden with magic. It was so much more than a suggestion and people began to pull one another into warm arms to sway to the tune.

"When, my, time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her..."

When that one was done he left the stage to find a pint and chat up the crowd. He'd play the rest of the sett soon enough.
