Yes, we’ve got Steve, he’s our new drummer. And even better, we have got a gig lined up for Sunday 25th November.
Supporting us will be the almighty Pog and the wonderful Jimmy and the Worn Out Shoes. It really is so much nicer when you are playing with friends, both in the band and as support acts. As for Steve, he’s got to do a lot of song learning very quickly, but I reckon he’s up to the task. We might play a two or three new songs which we are working on, probably Dancing Outrageous, Started Alright and Wise Guys. I say probably, because we have a couple of other songs as well, but we’ve got limited time in which to learn them. We’ve still also got to get 90 Miles To Go right as well, although we’re nearly there with that. On the writing side, I’m having a rest for a couple more days, then it is the dreaded November, when I try to whack off 50,000 words in a month. It’s only around the corner and looming large and the prospect terrifies me. Still, I need to do it, as last year I managed 30,000 words in November which formed a good basis for my third novel Harvest. So I’ll get my relaxation in now, in preparation for a chaotic November.
