"You need a damn good reason to play rock music over 40 years of age. That's what folk is for."

What a ludicrous view.

Why have an unaccompanied cake when you can have a multi-course banquet?

Let's look at this week...

SATURDAY: Played a mix of songs - folk jazz and pop at a pub gig
SUNDAY: Learned new material for Tuesday and new songs for Wednesday...
TUESDAY: Audition with new band playing bluesy rock (think Cream - Free - Jonny Lang - Whitesnake - ZZ Top)
WEDNESDAY: Practice for acoustic gig with singer songwriter friend, then onto weekly Folk/acoustic evening in local pub
THURSDAY: Try out of another new band playing covers current and last 20 years (average age of band except me 20 something)
FRIDAY: Gig in hotel in Harrogate with current rock/pop band
SUNDAY: Acoustic gig in afternoon in pub

Managed to get my folk in as well!

And I get my bus pass in 4 years.
