Aidan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Some of you were kind enough to cop an earful of the Blues record I played on at the end of the year. The guy who put it together called me last night to ask if I would play keys on one of the first gigs to promote it. We'll be opening for Hue & Cry. I know this is meat and drink to many of you on here, but it's my first experience of opening for a "name" act so I'm pretty stoked about it. It kind of feels like my musical career is getting somewhere towards where, in truth, it probably should have been a couple of decades ago but for first-wifely hostility. I've got a couple new projects of my own on the boil and have just started working with a great jazz quartet too (audio on SP), and I have a feeling 2014 is going to be a good one for me, musically speaking. Hope it's as positive for all of you here, too!
