After a brief lull, things are gathering pace.
Open mic at The Porters is becoming busier, with a higher standard of performers every week. It really is a great and entertaining night. Monday night was really superb with some incredibly talented musicians in attendance, as well as an enthusiastic audience, both combining to create a fantastic atmosphere.
I guess it also helps that my short sets have started to get some good feedback as I am accepted into the open mic community. I have now been asked to headline one of the nights at the end of the month.
Which brings me onto my next topic. (nice how things link together sometimes)
I have now been booked for two gigs - both in December.
The first is in The Porters on one of the Tantrika acoustic nights and is on the 2nd.
The second is at the brilliant Mr Wolfs noodle bar in Bristol and is on the 28th. Part of my payment for the Wolfs gig comes in the form of a vegetarian noodle dish - FANTASTIC! (seriously, no sarcasm there - I am genuinely looking forward to the noodles)
These gigs are a long way off unfortunately but I guess that will give me time to prepare and make sure they are extra special. One idea which I have already started to investigate is to produce promotional material for these shows in the form a fanzine, something that people will hold in their hands and hopefully be inclined to engage with for a short while.
I am still hoping to secure some other gigs in the meantime but, as is usual in this business, this is starting to become a bit of a ball ache.
