Giggedy Gigs

So the CDs arrived today! Way earlier than expected and I'm really pleased with them. Just trying to figure out a way that I can sell them online. I need to start looking into organizing an EP launch party. I have already spoken to a violinist who I would like to accompany me in a short performance at the launch. Now for a venue!


After the gig at 'Mitchell's' I was asked by there area manager if I would like to play at some other venues they own in Dundee, Perth and Edinburgh which is great especially with the Perth venue as I will be moving to Perth after the summer.


This week I am playing at 'Mitchell's' again on Saturday and 'The New Inn' on Sunday. I really need to get out of St. Andrews and start playing venues in other towns and cities.


That's all for now!

WOOOOOOOOOO!


I got an A for my graded unit! I'm so glad that my hard work paid off in the end. Now I'm looking forward to get started on my next one, how sad is that?


Gigs are picking up again as well. Last night I played at a place called 'Mitchell's'. It went really well, a lot of people gave me great feedback and one table gave me a £25 tip. The only problem was that my performing area was really cramped but they've asked me back so hopefully I can arrange for a slightly bigger area next time.


I've also been asked to start hosting a regular open mic evening at the Byre Theatre bar which has been taken over and is now called Kingarroch at The Byre. I will get paid and I won't have to do as much work as normal because other people will be playing too!


The EP has now been sent away and in a few weeks it will arrive! I'm thinking of having an EP launch event somewhere, maybe even at the Byre.


So summer is here and I'm going to try and keep myself busy!

Hello Summer!

Hello there!


So I haven't written on here in a few weeks but it's been so god damn busy!


All of my college work (including my graded unit) is now completed HOORAY! All I have left is my song writing assessment with my band on Tuesday and then I'll be done for the year. I'm looking forward to summer so much! Plan on playing a lot of gigs and writing loads of new material.


Also 'Streets The Musical' has been and gone. It was a huge success, went really well and the audiences we had seemed to love it. I'm so glad I took part in it. It was a lot of work but so worth it. I've made so many great friends and learned so much from it. Here's a pic of the cast at rehearsal!

My graded unit mark should be in soon. I need to get a B to get on the course next year so fingers crossed. I worked really hard on that project so I hope it paid off.


Anyway I'll keep you updated on how things went!
