New job, gigs and the RIAT!

I've not had time to make a new video!! Booo! There's just been too much going on. I spent last weekend (my whole one day off) at the Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, which was really cool as I hadn't been for quite a few years. My dad taught me a few interesting things about some aeroplanes too. hahaha! I loved watching the red arrows and the ticolore display team, as well as seeing the tornado and vulcan. - I could get a bit nerdy about planes I think... Oh dear.

My friends band were playing too, so obviously we watched them play - didn't watch Alexandra Burke though... although I did see her dancers briefly.. but I wasn't overly impressed!
The evening before that I played an acoustic set with my friend, at a party in a garden, that was really good fun, even though it was absolutely freeeeeeezing!!! It was very windy, but I really enjoyed playing. It was the first time I'd played a gig in 11 months, I was a little bit nervous but it went well! I think we're going to play a gig again in the next couple of weeks, yay! We played again at the local open mic night on wednesday too. That was a good night, loads of people out, and lots of musicians too. Very funny indeed. 
On Monday I started my new job in Cheltenham. It's going ok, lots of things to learn, but I'm getting the hang of everything. All of my staff are lovely too, which is awesome. :-) Now I just need to start looking for a flat!
Anyways, it's sunny outside, and I need to be out in it...
I'll be making a new video as soon as I have some time... hahaha...
Love and sunshine x x

Hallowe'en and Bengals

So spooky weekends were had by all I'm assuming!! My hallowe'en was rather subdued to say the least, no dressing up this year, no making pumpkins, well I sound like a right old party pooper don't I!! I was a little bit gutted that I wasn't going to be back home for hallowe'en with Laura, to watch Crayfish play.

However me and Sam weren't completely boring, we did go out on Saturday night to a tiny venue called Red Room and saw a couple of cool bands.

One called The Motherfolkers (haha - made me laugh anyways!) and they do a lot of covers

and a band called Mantra Rhythms, who have a room in the building where Sams studio is, I'd put a link to their myspace but they have nothing on it yet (and the drummer said they've lost the password!! haha)

I also did manage to get back into the writing frame of mind on Saturday, which I am really pleased about, I finished the outline of a song that previously had 6 lines of lyrics and a couple of chords scribbled by it! Now, to drag Sam to his studio to get him to help me polish it off! :)

I'm very excited about the fact that I've ordered a new usb cable for my camera today too! Hooray! So I will actually have some pics to show you at some point soon.

ooooo I almost forgot I was at one of Sams friends houses (he lives in a really crazy building actually) and he had the most amazing cat I've ever seen - next time I'm there I will try and get a photo - he's called Monster and he's a Silver Bengal! He's beautiful and his fur was so soft he was super speedy when he's playing too!
