Busy Times!

I was in the process of writing another post about Licences and Auditions but thought I'd write this one first. I just wanted to post an update on what's going on in my life at the moment.

Last weekend I had a flurry of gigs, which I got through somehow. There are Christmas markets galore now which require good Christmas music. 2 out of 3 of my gigs were for charity. No pay but some advertising in exchange for my performances. I think I'll write another post in the future about charity gigs.

So this week would've been a great time to busk but it's just too cold for me. I know some buskers are out there giving it their all, but I just can't hack it when the temperatures are near freezing. Anyway, I do have other things to sort instead...

I'm currently in the process of moving to Lincoln if everything goes well with the paperwork. Completely downsizing and getting rid of as much as I can. It takes a lot of effort and I don't entirely have the patience to go through everything, but I know I'll get through it because I have to. I think next year will be a really good year. Especially since I found out yesterday that I'll be getting a busking licence for the London Underground! Of course I'll be writing more about that in my next post.

So at the moment I will focus on my gigs and giving private lessons. If it warms up a bit perhaps I'll go out and busk. Whenever I see that the temperature is near 0 I immediately get this image in my head of numb fingers! To all the buskers out there in the Christmas markets I'd like to say.... rather you than me! Hahaha
