Newbies

At BYJO tonight all of the new people were there. It doesn't seem like five minutes since I was the nervous new one in the corner, but now I'm one of the oldest there! They all seem really nice, but it kind of shows the people who have left even more. Ah well, things change people move on, it's usually for the better. I'm sure this one last year will be great fun.

Boston Community Showcase

In the Park in Boston (Lincs UK, not USA sadly) this afternoon I played with BYJO (Boston Youth Jazz Orchestra) at the community showcase. It was a pretty sad occasion really, the last time with this line-up. There are about ten people who are leaving to go to university in the next couple of weeks so this was their last gig. They are going off to pretty cool places and are going to be sadly missed, but here come the next generation of the 'oldest of BYJO' (now including me). This is the beginning of my third and final year there which is sad, but its an amazing thing and you can't stay there forever. If you want to go to a gig, the gig list is on the site at www.byjo.org. Here's to one last year, the fun continues now
