Onwards and upwards
It seems that Mikey is making considerably more posts than me o flate. This hopefully reflects popular opinion as much as it does my ability to think of anything worth saying. Regular readers of Berkslive will agree with me on that point, I imagine. It's easy to talk shite on there, whereas I see this blog as being worth more than being just another outlet for my drivel.
At present I am trying to find a venue for a light opera night as part of the Reading Fringe Festival as well as confirming what will be happening at the Picnic Day in the Forbury Gardens on Sun 20th Aug.
I start a new job on 7th Aug, need to have found a new place to live by 16th Sept and also find some temp work to earn some cash before I start the new perm job. Plenty to do, and plenty of time to do it in as long as I get cracking this week (AFTER I've sorted the fringe fest stuff, that remains my priority at the mo.)
White Sunday are writing, rehearsing and generally getting ready to go into the studio to record the first batch of what should hopefully be our debut album. We're working with Dave Allen who has recorded a lot of the Cure's albums as well as Frank Sinatra (so I'm told). He's a cool guy, seems to really dig what we are trying to do and we're all as excited as hell about getting the tracks down. We played at our "local" the Prince of Wales in Caversham on Sat, had a brilliant time and got some quality feedback from friends and fans alike. New tunes went down well, new drummer Tony destroyed his drumkit at the big finale, and I renewed my acquaintance with a very foxy blonde afterwards. Lovely. The Prince's kitchen also provided THE BEST fry-up on Sunday morning when we picked up our kit, what a lifesaver!
I'm pleased to see that the Palestinians are back! Look forward to seeing them as part of the fringe festival as much as I look forward to hearing Mike's new band; I note with amusement that he hasn't been quite as keen to suggest band names as heavily-laden with sexual innuendo as his last effort..
Carry on regardless................ . .. ... .
