Update

Gosh its been a while!!!

Easter to be exact, now quite alot has happened since then!

Including alot of trips to wales, obv working every day, and drumming at many many differnt places!

I had the honor of being a part of the revival that broke out in Dudley, and drummed there at the end of July for the weekend, and am infact going back to drum again at the start of October.

Various cool events with THRE3, including Marks Tey (poss my fav gig yet) where everyone was just going for it,
and also the Tiptree Youth Fair, which was just fun! playing Rain Down to the people of Tiptree : )
We also played in Germany (as im SURE most of you will have heard about by now)
which was just an unreal weekend, and then again at the opening of the CO1 event.

I have always enjoyed drumming, its like a differnt side of me that comes out just for an hour, but the last few gigs have been something else, letting go of literaly everything (excpet my sticks) and being able to lay into my drum kit, no matter whats happened that day, who is watching, whateva the tech problems have been, ive lost all self awareness, which for me is a very hard thing to go of. We have played to various differnt crowds, both large and small, at the CO1 gig, there maybe wasnt as many people as we were hoping for, and because of this, we decided we wouldnt change into our 'gig clothes'.
But during a bit of worship before, i could see Jason was really thinking about this, and it was playing with my mind too, why would we not give our 100% all to God because of a few people not turing up? it made no sense what so ever. And so we both agreed, we would get changed because we wernt there to play to these people anyway. People always say "well your playing to an audience of ONE" which when your playing to a smaller crowd, starts to really make sense. So, as we always seem to do now, just totally went for it. and gave God all 110% that he deserved.

Oh, and ive bought a new China cymbal!! 20"!
my goodness is that a bad boy sound : )

The next 2 and a half months sees no free weekends, including more trips to Wales & Dudley, various worship events, and also hopefully meeting my cousin for the first time : )
