How to Make It in the Music Industry

Ok. From zero to hero in a fortnight? Well, not quite. If you read my article about the importance of socialising, you will have heard about my experience using Gumtree to meet musicians. In two weeks, this has resulted in:

• Meeting a fab soul singer.
• A new song being written inspired by my experiences.
• An open mic night performance.
• The playing of a festival, this weekend.
• Meeting attractive girls, and a music lawyer PA (never a bad thing).

“The playing of a festival?” you say. Like I said, not quite. We’re playing at the Black Gay Pride gig. It’s a large club with thousands of people in it, in Vauxhall. I’m neither gay nor black so I don’t know how I’ve ended up on this bill, but this will undoubtedly be the biggest gig I’ve played, so I’m not complaining. We’ve been given opening slot, and we’re also playing in the VIP lounge as well.

I will be taking photos and reporting back when possible!

If you’re interested, the soul singer I’m met and am playing with is Bonnie Freechyld.
