358: What’s it like to have completed festive playing for the year?
I started playing Christmas music in mid-October and today, on the 23rd December, I’ve finished playing them for the year. I’d love to say I’ve enjoyed every performance, but there were a few that just weren’t that easy to get through – whether it be the location, the time of day or just because I’d […]

352: What is a carol event at Knowl Club like?
I know this is a day late. I had no time yesterday to post at all. It was a little less well attended than in previous years, but still a lovely event that I always look forward to. It’s already booked in for next year too!

347: How can I be so busy, yet get nothing done?
When it’s being busy by helping other people out. All I’ve done today is sort out things for other people. I’ve enjoyed it and not minded really, but it’s been hard to get my own work done – particularly as I’ve not really been with a class much today either. Still, this evening in Little […]

346: What is it like to overcome a giant hurdle?

345: What is a concert like at St. Peter’s Church, Kirkthorpe?
Well, apart from hastily rearranging the band during the interval so that I could actually hear other people and see the conductor a bit better, quite decent! This is the second day of four in a row to contain a Grange Moor Brass Band event of some kind. My brain and arms ache from all […]

324: When did it become so cold?
Today has been ridiculously cold. Playing with Grange Moor in Wakefield wasn’t the best experience in my life. I am still cold and I’ve been home for hours. Not fun.

323: How would you describe your week?
Unusual, in one word. I don’t think I’ve had a single normal day in any respect – there has been something to make each and every one odd in some way or other. Still, it is the weekend with just four sets of books to mark and a week of work to organise ahead of […]

317: Where was that post?
A busy day and a late evening out meant that I didn’t write yesterday. Nothing Earth-shattering to report. The late evening was causd by last year’s Grange Moor Brass Band Chritmas meal… nothing like being organised.
