If I’d been to college in London I’m sure things would be much easier but unfortunately that wasn’t an option for me. I’m trying a number of things to find a crack into the gig circuits here and I’ll be sure to review them at some stage so I can write about which ideas were effective and which were stupid. :)

I’ll be sure to keep on trying so that you have lots of things to read about. Eventually I’ll find a return on one of my efforts and I can build form there. Who’d have thought there was so much work to do without even picking up the trumpet?

This is the part of my career that is the most fun – sarcasm doesn’t travel well via text.

I think writing about exactly what I’m doing in the post may very well bore you as much as tweeking CV’s bore me so I’ll save you the precious seconds it takes to read. If I have any success with this I’ll be sure to post that as it could very well give anyone else in my position a few ideas.
