Now I know what you're thinking; "How do you
accidentally play a gig?" Well let me explain...
On Mondays at where I work the restraunt is shut, so I've organised an open mic night in the front bar as there's no diners to disturb, and lets face it monday nights are dead pretty much everywhere you go so the added punters help.
The guys that show up have there own "band" they play in. Mostly old Irish folk, but they're quite happy to let anyone get up and play with there kit (though Chris won't let me near his accordian
)
So one night I got badgered into playing, seeing as everyone knows I play guitar a bit. I was shitting myself, let me tell you! Did a few ropey numbers, then I kinda got into it! Felt pretty cool playing infront of a mic, in front of people.
So now "the ego has landed" hahaha, gonna play next week and been thinking of a few covers to do.
So, yeah. If you've never played infront of anyone before, I'd highly recommend it. I feel a bit more confident in my playing, and definately got a kick out of it which was cool. Give it a try! You only live once. Unless your a Buddhist, but that's cheating
