"Getting My Bearings", "Anniversaries", "Lived-in Faces", "Showcase"


Hi,

Three performances this week:


Anniversaries


Lived-in Faces (Part 2)


Showcase.


First of all, the most important thing to say is thanks to those of you that came to the Bohemian Showcase on Friday night. It was great to see you and undoubtedly your presence enhanced my performance. I hope you all had a good time.


Friday night's showcase was a milestone for me and now completed feels like the end of another phase. Generally I need to take stock of where I am and recalibrate my focus (stretching the At The Water's Edge and sailing analogy I guess you could say "I'm getting my bearings"). I suspect one of the consequences of this will be doing fewer open-mics. Although enjoyable and undoubtedly beneficial they are perhaps not as time-efficient for me as they once were and undoubtedly distract a significant chunk of time from the other projects which need to be completed soon.


It sounds like I'm disappearing, I hate to disappoint you but I'm not. But perhaps I'll be around less than I have been. As always, thanks for your support and interest.


I shall still be doing some open-mics etc and as always for up-to-date information please refer to the Gig 2012 page.


With Best Wishes,


Andrew
