Where did the summer go? Bugger me if i know!!

Its 7:20pm and i’ve realised that the room has darkened without me even noticing…except maybe feeling my eyesight is failing as gradually i’m struggling to see the keyboard more lol. Yep, the nights are closing in, summers been and gone faster than stray chip in a flock of seagulls and now we look forward to a winter of discontent…or do we?

Is it going to be outdoor gigs all the way up to Christmas with everyone just wrapping up warmer and warmer, watching guitarists trying to play solo’s with numb fingers and bass players looking more miserable than usual?

It is uncertain times for so many of us, but i’m ridiculously thankful for all that i’ve managed to keep going regarding streams, interviews and also a few gigs thrown in for good measure. Our Queen gigs were superb over the last weekend with great audiences and the venue owner doing everything to accommodate us and the clientele. So big shout out to Stocks farm barn in Coggeshall and Michael the owner. The Boars head in Braintree as well being one of the view venues managing to keep music alive by building a stage in the garden and having regular live bands. So big thanks to Stu and Bernie for keeping their ends up :-D WAHEYYYY!

I really want to say a huge thank you to people who have supported my live streaming and YouTube channel which is going from strength to strength. I’ve had some truly beautiful comments from people about how it’s helped them during the isolation of lock-down and also that my videos have been able to teach a few people a trick or two. Doing these streams and wotnot has provided me with endless entertainment and i’m loving every minute of it. It’s so refreshing to be able to really have a laugh musically with no ego and just see how much shit we can throw at the wall and see what sticks! And the best part? Having you lovely folks along for the ride! :-D Without you all it would be as pointless as trying to stop a dog from winky sniffing every random hound who comes along, so thanks for giving me a purpose for doing this !

Gigs are few and far between at the moment, but there are plenty of livestreams of a musical and chatty nature on the horizon so please don’t be a stranger and come hang with me.

My love to you all, you absolute diamonds you xxxx

stay sexy

Love Mike V.B
