What a weekend. And we owe it all to these guys...I do love an epic birthday party, and this one certainly was. Beer flowing like water, Black Orchid's first ever gig*, Incassum doing their awesome thing, impromptu performances of Iron Maiden songs, early-morning treks across Salford, mid-afternoon treks back across Salford (barefoot in my case -

Lectures are thinned out this week due to this silly invention known as PDP week (Professional Development Pisses-Everyone-Off, as far as I can tell).

What a week. I know I stretched things last year with a two-day birthday celebration followed by the epic 21st-and-a-half six months later, but due to circumstances (mostly out of my control) my 22nd birthday has lasted a whole week!

It was a last-minute booking for a promotional event with no pay so I thought I'd try using tracks, which I have never done before--and probably won't again. At least not for an outdoor situation where you're dwarfed by the surroundings! Folks

Last Night's Gig and a Mean Old Man

Tags: Gigs

night progressed. Restaurant gigs are always tricky because you're playing background music. While the owners were asking me to turn down my vocals, various listeners were asking me to turn up, or turn down the piano, etc. One person even wrote me this morning to complain the drummer was too loud, although I find that hard to believe, having
