I've talked with them about what they need for an entry, and will put in a short bio to them tomorrow.
    Well, gig number 2 is done and dusted. Pretty small turnout for what was the first get together of the year of monthly events for this group. From what I understand, they normally have a full house. Having said that, there was a lot of events on over the weekend, and you can't attend everything I guess!
    It was back to my regular programming, with not a single soul getting up to dance while I sang, while pretty much every other singer had people dancing. Not that I mind, it's what I'm used to. I finished off with Chris Stapleton's "Whiskey & You" and you could hear a pin drop. I have never performed to a crowd that was so fixated on what I was playing!! It was pretty surreal.

    Still haven't heard anything regarding the Lounge Bar gig. Hopefully they announce the winner soon.
