Im obsessed with music. Performing is still totally new to me, but I’ve kind of decided to get involved. I’ve always wanted to be in a band. I’ve been playing guitar for a long time and I thought “I’ve got to do it. I’ve got to stop waiting for a band to happen”. I’ll tell you what is was, actually. I read ‘Clothes, clothes, clothes, music, music, music, boys, boys, boys’ by Viv Albertine . She got into open mics in her fifties and writes about the bravery needed for that. I read it at New Year, so I thought “That’s my New Year’s resolution, if she can do it, I should do it”. Tonight was the first open mic I’ve enjoyed. I get really reluctant.
