Things to do on a day when feeling less crap & Gig Alert
Gig Recording & Filming Alert - next weekend
It's a very overcast Saturday, finally starting to feel a little better....... to fill you all in its been a dreadful few months of pretty well constant illness since giving up cigarettes......... and I have to be better by next weekend.
Saturday May 20th, Peacock Theatre, Salamanca Place, Hobart Tasmania
"Bat" (With the Band) 7pm start
Supported by Debra Manskey (Ex Wild Pumpkins at Midnight)
For those of you who are still unitiated, "Bat" is Malcolm Battersby, one of the most amazing guitarists and nicest people in the known universe. Check out his website and have a wee chuckle. It needs a makeover but will get that in the next few months.
The Bat Band and I are planning to head out into the wild unknown of "the road" in the next few months so hopefully we'll be coming to a venue near you in the next few months.
Also, this gig will be recorded and filmed, so if you are in this part of the world and want to be part of the general mayhem, come along!
Cruise and Ferry Gig Opportunities
Anyway, another guitarist mate is coming over for coffee this afternoon. He's a covers man, specialising in 80's soft rock stuff - not my thing at all - but I respect how good the guy is and his right to listen to the cheesiest music known to the human race. I've found him the perfect job, working on cruise ships out of England. He's been desperately trying to find a suitable vocalist for the past two years to take up contracts overseas through an agent in Melbourne but there just don't seem to be the female singers out there that fit the bill.
If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't do my own original material and I couldn't pack His Imperious Majesty (HIM = boyfriend) in my suitcase I'd probably head off for a six-month stint. The money's ok and accomodation is provided but it is hard work, performing six days per week or the duration of the cruise for shorter trips and no provision for time off or sick leave.
For those of you who are interested in such jobs, check out this page on the Vocalist UK website
It lists stacks of cruise ship and ferry entertainment links. Good luck!
That's all for this post. HIM & me are making old-fashioned baked beans today and I have to go take care of the navy beans so they don't overcook. Might put the recipe up if they turn out ok.... I haven't made 'em for years!
