Hello!
So I’ve been busy making phone calls getting new venues such as The TUC Club in Eastbourne and The Inn on the Park in Golden Green, Lakeside Cafe in Horam have just booked me for a private party, The Old Boot in Seaford is a totally fab venue and I’m at The Treacle Mine in Polegate soon too! The Afton Hotel in Eastbourne I’m hoping for at some point also!
I’ve been learning new songs like Brown Eyed Girl and Stuck in the Middle With You and Sweet Child of Mine! I’ve been giving singing lessons too! And of course I’ve been gigging….
May gave me just two gigs at The New Wilmington in Eastbourne mid-week but we did have a ten night holiday in Crete (which was heaven!) I discovered this month that I sound like Gracie Fields apparently!!
I played the Eastbourne WMC on 7th which was a great gig as usual with lots of dancing! On Friday 13th in true ‘unlucky’ style I had a gig cancel on me BUT it got turned around when I had a call from The Old Boot in Seaford (one of my fave venues!) and they booked me – It was a brilliant gig! The Brewers Arms in Herstmonceux really enjoyed having me on 26th and I’m hoping to get back there soon!
June was taken up with three hotel gigs and The Royal British Legion in Polegate was a great gig as usual (although we didn’t win the raffle AGAIN lol!!) They are such a friendly crowd. The Crown & Anchor in Eastbourne was next on the 10th, well, once the football had finished! I started at 9.30 and sang straight through til 11.30! Had some great reviews on FBook too – T’was a great night!
I then did the party of the year on 15th for a couple who deserved a really special night, and it so was. A fab gig at The View Hotel in Eastbourne (see FB photo of me singing in the window!) I sang for just under 3hrs for them – ouch! But I loved every minute of it with everyone else!
The Hailsham Club on the 25th was another excellent one! They thoroughly enjoy all my gigs there and never fail to disappoint me with their dancing! Back there on Xmas Eve so that will be great!
And so that’s another two months gone and I still love singing for all the East Sussex folk!
I have to keep reminding people that I’m available for weddings and parties too, I can be squeezed in anywhere as quite a few people can verify and I will always get the party going (and going and going and going!!)
Summer’s coming so let’s hope for some sunshine – an outdoor gig in the sun would be nice!!
