Too Busy To Blog...

...Not been on here in a while, which means I've done loads right? YES I HAVE!

I've booked a gig at the bar I work at in town, and have had to arrange all of the stuff that goes along with arranging a gig at a venue that hasn't had a live event in 2 years!

SO...I've begged and borrowed, and I think I've pulled it off. The band have been rehearsing like crazy doing lots of practising and we have got all the songs very tight. I've borrowed my friends PA equipment, and Alexs (my bass player) microphones and cables! I've got Mike (Keyboard Player) to try and arrange a "Dress Rehearsal" venue so we can practise using all of the gear! Kev (drummer) has just checked out the kit he will be using for the gig, and Luke (guitarist) is working out all the chords for the covers so on the night no-one should get lost!

My house mates George and James are going to end the night off with some DJing and my school friend Cat Ladd will be supporting the gig! So a lot of work has gone into trying to put this on, I just hope people enjoy it!

So yes the 'Joshua Mellor Team' have definitely been working hard to get this sorted, and I they have been great in getting this all together!

Time Struggles

Back into the swing with university has created scheduling issues with our rehearsals! BUT we shall carry on!!! We will get through it all, and I've decided to take a different take, by giving the guys the chord patterns and asking them to just go through the songs for at least 30 mins in the week when they can!

This should speed up the rehearsal process when we do get time together, and should tighten the band up.

University, work, and music makes one jam packed cocktail for life!
