Happy 2011 Everyone looking forward to hopefully another exciting and busy year ahead.
2010 started off relatively quiet in comparison to 2009 and all we could do in the industry was go with the flow and ride the waves. Various gigs which was a welcoming sign for my tribute acts with a sigh of relief and at the same time feeling for those colleagues who was not so fortunate. Mid year the abroad enquiries came and my act was fortunate to return to Jersey and then an even more exciting opportunity came through Mozambique, we recommended a MJ tribute act who was fortunate to also fly out and they had an amazing time and during the World Cup in South Africa.
We donated our time to Charity during the summer for "Children's Brain tumour" 2 festivals, where we met some fantastic people along the way, I was able to provide Nikk Mager and Sean Rumsey (who i was working with at the time) on the line up alongside Andy Scott Lee and some local bands.
The opportunities continued to flow, an appearance at Northampton Rugby cup game, Wimbledon Tennis Club for the up and coming under 18 players and an appearance at The Contemporary Performing Arts in Newcastle. Finishing the year working for a major perfume brand on promotional days.
November I planned and organised "Angie's Night" a Charity event for my Cousin who sadly lost her battle against Cancer, it was in her memory in aid of Macmilan Cancer support we raised a sufficient amount considering alot of events had been cancelled due to the economy, various acts performed Shiikane, Helena Mace, Grant Colyer, Eastend Promises, IDH, Constellation, Justin Timberlike, Teresa de Roberto and Grant James, and local lads (my son and friends), we had a raffle, prizes provided by the local community and the Pearly King and Queens attended.
Gerry (as in picture) dropped by as he is a dear friend of mine and picked the raffle numbers out with Chrissy Ferkin our host/presenter.
It was a fun night in memory of Angie and all the performers did me proud.
Xmas was a well welcomed break time to spend with Family and Friends.
I also took on an awessome Band called Constellation (5 piece Indie/Rock band ) who are are to release their debut single 17Th January all sales proceed going to Scotty's Little Charity all details on http://www.constellationband.co.uk/ the Charity is for Children of Fallen Soldiers killed during service.
So here's to 2011 fingers crossed for another exciting ride.....
