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?

I have a gig tonight in Leicester with The New Disciples of Soul at the Walkers Stadium. Tomorrow I have a gig in Birmingham at 8AM and then two show calls at The Buxton Opera House starting at 2:30pm. Sunday I have a gig in Liecester that starts at 9AM and then I’m moving down to London later that same day.

I’ve been trying to pack this morning, cleaned and washed my old car (that I’ve just sold) collapsed my desk into little wooden blocks for the move and now I’m going to make sure my Tux is looking it’s best for tonight.

I love being a musician :D
