Most of the snow has shifted now, it took a while, but it didn't affect the weeks' activities thankfully, so there's now just a handful of piles of dirty ice to go at.
My band was back in business with 2 gigs. We finally found a venue with an audience, a full pub (can you remember those?) on Saturday night in the shape of The Hop in Wakefield. This is a fairly new pub in the Westgate area and I was very impressed by it. It was nice to have an audience to bounce off for a change. We had a very good night and it just goes to show that no matter how you play, the crowd makes all the difference. Nice to see a pub that isn't struggling at the moment too. Definetly a 7.
The following day we were back at Berry Brow Lib club for another passable gig. We've done this one a few times now and it's remained pretty consistent. I'll say 6 for that one.
We now have a week off but I will keeping my end up (matron) on the open mic circuit this week.
Other than that, I've been working on tracks for what will be solo album #3, I do hope you're keeping track of my discography...at this rate it shouldn't be too far from finishing. The Paradise Street album is now into the 'promotion' stage, which I must say I'm really enjoying. Web Promotion and album promotion was to start with my least favourite area but now I find myself looking forward each week to doing a bit of marketing. It's a steep learning curve but that's part of the fun. It's just nice to have songs released and then have them some exposure and hopefully keep finding new fans.
See you next week!
