Record Label

Hermit-Club-October-2010

Yesterday we went to speak with a record label in London. Got some great advice:

Do 100 gigs and write 50 songs for a start!

Any good band will have the following:

1. Great songs
2. Great recordings
3. Great live show
4. Great image
5. Great story

Simples!

Really enjoyed the gig at the Barbican Centre last night with the LSO Youth Orchestra.

Here, I’m playing a variety of percussion instruments.

I also played drum kit with the LSO Fusion Orchestra earlier in the evening.
