Is my life going to feature sweet music after all?

It's been a long time coming, this musical life of mine. This week, i really have started to feel that there's a musical richness to my daily endeavours. For instance, Monday this week; i posted, to Portsmouth New England U.S. of A, the very first "album" i've ever been involved in. Sure, there was that "white label" demo which i thought i was doing whilst Pob and Mike were playing cricket on the Mega drive (or something) back in 98', but this feels more like we've worked for it as a band this time. It was all for this:

A strong concept really; record an album in a month, no slacking, no excuses. So, that was Monday. Tuesday; i was at a gig with my good friend Abbas (who's blog you can find here) who is a part time music writer. The Band were called "Girls" and they're from Frisco, and are colourful characters to say the least. You can see the review here, with picture credits for yours truly. Whoop, i know.

Then, this evening, i got a picture txt (rather curiously, as there didn't appear to be a picture in it!) from my cousin Gill, who runs a business called "Dial a diva". I did one gig for this, and didn't get any repeat business yet (i'm putting it on the "it's a southern business thing" rather than "i'm lousy at it") and despite the gig being in oxford, i see that as an offer to be paid for music, which i declined. By not replying. I've moved on darling, i've moved on?!

BTW, the "Three Piece Sweet" album can be heard and downloaded here.
