Busy three days!

On Saturday 1st November, I met with Anna and Marcella in order to practice some of our acoustic songs for the gig on Monday. These included the ones we had rehearsed the week before, and afterwards a group of Czech musicians arrived to jam with us on some of these tunes. We were especially proud of our arrangement of one of Anna's songs "Lighthouse", as well as OneRepublic "Stop and Stare" and Alice in Chains "Rooster". Here is a link to a few recordings we made: http://www.esnips.com/doc/acc56b35-1b5f-45a6-a302-3e0f0ec307e9/stopandstare and http://www.esnips.com/doc/8e97f2c0-5641-4235-ac1f-4f3378f6e09e/practice
(3 hours)

The Sunday consisted of practicing with the band - and we went over all our cover songs again, this time with bass.

We had to stop early because I was to host an open mic that night in the Polish Club bar, using a combination of my guitar amp and the mixing desk. It went quite well, the only problem that it needed greater publicising because the main acts consisted of myself, Anna, Marcella and the Czech guys we rehearsed with the previous day. However, me and Rangar did an acoustic version of Blood Brothers which went well. Everyone who attended said that they enjoyed it and would come next time. I was informed that should I host another, there was a possibility of being paid!

Anna's gig yesterday went very well, consisting of two sets centred around her whilst myself, Marcella, Roman provided backing vocals and guitars for her on several songs. Each of us did do a couple of solo spots though, me and Marcella did our renditions of "Heartshaped Box" and "Sex on Fire". Many videos were taken, hopefully I can upload some of them soon.
