Gigs
7 Gigs Down, 1 Abandoned and 7 To Go
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 [...]
