Jon Boyes -> Jons Baile diary #3: Gigs! (Dec. 17 2004 13:47:41)

Yikes, and triple yikes!
The dance classes have finished for the term and I've just come back from a meeting with Mercedes. She wanted to see what I could play more closely (ie without the distractions of the dance class around, and the stuff I play there is pretty basic and repetitive anyway.)
I played her some sevillanas, rumba, farruca & bulerias and to cut a long story short, she wants to work with me - ie paid gigs! Wow! Turns out she works with a couple of other guitarists, but one is off travelling for the winter and the other doesn't live locally, so its difficult to arrange rehearsals. From her reaction, I get the impression that its not often she bumps into someone down here who can play a reasonable bulerias either ;-)
We have a date pencilled in for a show in February if they sell enough tickets, and theres a possibility of playing at a dance workshop she's organising soon as well.
I never expected things to happen this quickly. Knock me down with a feather, someone. [:)]
Boy have I got a lot of work to do. I was hoping for a quiet guitar-free Christmas too.
Jon
