This week I was overjoyed to hand out CVs all of Friday morning and then get a job in the afternoon. Yeah... it's that easy, apparently. Maybe they were impressed in my HNC in music... The job's in a pub by the way.
Anyway this week at college, I found myself really enjoying session skills ! Which coincidentally will help me gain experience with becoming a SESSION MUSICIAN, can't get more relevant than that ! In the class, Gavin gave us our individual parts from the Motown classic, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. The piece was fairly straightforward, with the odd stop-time and dynamics, but it was grand ! It helped me brush up on my sight-reading (even though it was just a chord chart) and working with musicians I had not played with before. We also 'chatted' with a representative of the Scottish Arts Council. Very insightful. I probably would apply for funding if I wasn't busy with college and whatnot, maybe in the future...
Also this week I put up FULL LENGTH SONGS on my band's Myspace, THE XYLOPHONE RACE. You should CHECK IT OUT !

And no, I won't stop plugging my band ! People on Facebook must be getting pissed off...
But that doesn't matter, because publicity is everything !
Bye guys !
