7 Gigs Down, 1 Abandoned and 7 To Go

Posted by Matt on August 27, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

I managed to get a lift to my calls on Bank Holiday Monday as all the Garages were closed.
I performed in a Gala Performance of Ivor Novello and Nowel Coward in the Buxton Opera House. 2 calls and a Concert later I was on my way home again. There’s not a lot to tell you [...]

The Big Gig Challenge - Progress

I got through 3 gigs before my nice new car broke down. Great news hey?!

Saturday night With CHris Poole and the Shades was a gig good as always. My weddings on Saturday and Sunday went without a problem but when I went to pick up by buddy Paul for another gig on the Sunday night [...]

The Big Gig Challenge

Posted by Matt on August 23, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

I’ll be posting by mobile for the next few days. Why?
The answer is that I have 15 gigs to play in 9 days. Ah yeah!
It’s good but i’m moving to london after gig 15 so it’ll be a long 9 days and any spare time I have will be spent packing.
So i’m currently in the [...]

Looking Back - Part 4

Posted by Matt on August 16, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

After a few hours of sleep on the Sunday I realized it really wasn’t a good idea for me to get up at 5 for a 3rd morning and drive to Liverpool. I found out that the gig actually started in Manchester and ended in Liverpool so I thought it’d be better to train it [...]

Looking Back - Part 2

Posted by Matt on August 14, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

After waking up at 5am with a generous 3 hours of sleep under my belt I set off out of Wales.
Now for those who haven’t driven through the valleys in the early hours I’d recommend not going to quickly. The reason for this is simple; sheep.
They are everywhere! Unfortunately that includes the road. And what [...]

Looking Back - Part 1

Posted by Matt on August 13, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

Last weekend was one of the most intense I’ve had for I while. It started with a 200 mile drive from Derby To Abersoch.
When I walked into the venue I had a bad feeling about the gig (expected the room we were to play in to be a lot bigger). Then I met the [...]

Driving Driving Driving

I’m off to London for a gig this morning. Hopefully another early finish is on the cards. To be honest I think I’m going to go mad with all this driving over the past few days. I’ve got a gig in Liverpool tomorrow - don’t get me wrong. Being busy is great!! I could just [...]

A Gig Or Two Breaks Up Driving

Posted by Matt on August 9, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

I stayed in Abersoch last night after my gig with Street Level and this morning I’ve got a gig in Telford. It breaks up the long drive back from Wales. Should be an early finish today at least - I could do with the rest before tomorrows gig.

One Day I’ll Have Local Gigs

Posted by Matt on August 8, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

This weekend is going to be hard work. I’m having to pre prep some posts as I’m not going to have a chance to do them live (even from my mobile).
Tonight I’m off to Abersoch to play with a Soul band called Street Level. It’s another blind gig so I haven’t met anyone in the [...]

My Car Loves An iPod

It’s a job that Tom is back to his Satnav ways. I have a killer weekend ahead. In 3 days I have 3 gigs and I’ll be in 3 cities. Bedford, Northhampton and London. I’ll be traveling 364 miles for a total of 6 hours and 2 minutes. (I initially had a Manchestrer gig on [...]
