Music, Singing and Flash Harry

Yes, I've been a blog slacker the past couple of months but my new resolutions not only consists of no fizzy drinks, crisps, sweets and chocolate but it's to write on this more often.

I've started to take my ability to sing alot more seriously over the past few months. I'm surprised John Mac didn't write a blog about our Live Lounge debut on Extreme FM just before christmas, ha ha. I've wrote quite a few songs now, saying that I struggle to finish them but they're a good basis for a fabulous bunch of tunes. I have a friend called Gary who not only is my modelling partner for Kim's photography projects but has a great voice and can strum the guitar so he's started coming around for 'jamming sessions'. I often get phone calls about being an acoustic support act for bands in pubs and clubs so we're preparing for that. I'm excited.

I have an uncle called Harry and he's the singer of a band called Flash Harry. They are flipping brilliant. They're a tribute for the band Queen and have been going for forever. Anyway, I was talking to the band last Thurday night at their gig in the Waterfront, I was explaining my desire to sing more and the bit of advice that's stuck out the most is to not do gig's if it's becoming a chore or a job. I think that's class that after 15 years of doing a gig or more nearly every week that they still enjoy it and aren't doing it because they need the money. My Granda Harry is probably the best for having kept up this bit of advice. He, at 75 years old still plays 4-5 gigs A WEEK. He's a Jazz Musician and can be seen each week in the Europa hotel on Saturdays between half 3 and 6. I know it's wrong to have idols but he is my biggest role model. He's a legend.

I'll keep you posted of gigs when I get booked!!!! In the meantime check out this video my housemate Roy and I made in our house... little amuses the innocent.
