I’ve spent a little time today editing and resizing some photo’s on my site so I can brighten up a few of my pages. This ones from a gig I did a while ago with Chris Lydon’s Northern Lights Jazz Group. It was a great day as we managed to cram in 2 big gigs into one day with no rehearsals and 2 deps.

But My Top 5 Worst Gigs will be posted whilst I’m away.

The gig with the Northern lights was a good laugh last night in Church Broughton, even if we did have to play a Spice Girls arrangement and despite the 6-7 hours of playing I still have chops left on my face.

Only a short post today as I’ve got to pack. Keep an eye on my site and I’ll write about our adventures when we get back.

The line up varies from a small band  to the a doubled up horn section for bigger works.

The gig is sold out tonight and accompanied by a meal but it’s a hell of a blow. We rehearse for 2 hours before and then play a 3-4 hour gig finishing in the early hours of the morning. So it’s a bit like running a marathon. Great fun all the same!!

I will make sure that I post up the next public gig we do so if you’re around you can have a look.
