Pink Sessions and The Waterfront

On the 28th of November I made my way slightly south to the grids of Milton Keynes to play at the girls snowboard event “Pink Sessions”. It’s a breast cancer charity night organised by an absolute leg-end of a lady by the name of Rosie Thurston who earlier this year helped me re-discover my love of tequilla but that is another story and one that I hope repeats it’s self. The Pink Sessions is kinda like a tour, fundraising at different snow-slopes around the uk this venue was The Snow Bar in the Xscape complex, so the girls could get their fix on the slope and then come up and enjoy good music and take part in the fund raising festivities. I had a half an hour set and played a mixed bag of old faithfuls, works in progress and a new cover of a guilty pleasure. I had a great night and caught up with some old friends who I don’t get to see often enough and from what I hear the event raised over ¬£500. Sweet.

The following evening it was back to one of my favourite places to play, The Waterfront. This night was a fundraiser for Macmillen nurses. There were three other live acts all playing on the stage in the marquee and a mod style DJ playing in the main bar. I love playing this place, I invited loads of people to come and the turnout was good. I played a similar set to the previous night and upon being asked to play one more the announcer auctioned the song for a fiver! I played said song and got stuck in to the bar, I did so for some considerable time into the a.m ending up with me sitting around a table with five Waterfront regulars and Keiron the owner doing several shots of tequila with slices of orange and cinnamon, sadly Rosie Thurston was not present for this but none the less. Sweet. I got to work the next day to be confronted with a highly amusing although slightly embarrassing answer phone message left on my bosses phone.
