So I hinted in my last blog that something good had happened so I will fill you in. I rushed home from work having been in touch with a few friends and agreed that we were going to check out The Piano Bar in The Old Bath Arms in Frome to see how their Thursday night music night worked. As is often the case with busy lives my pals one by one were not able to come for various reasons and so by the time it came to put on my coat it was just me who would be heading out. 


Set a dozen footsteps off the main road was the entrance the The Old Bath Arms. I had only been at the bar for a second when the guy who was running the show came to the bar to tell the landlord that one the acts hadn't showed up. I blurted out that I could fill in and they looked at each and then me in a kind of scared "who is this nutter" kind of way. We had a little chat and I left it up to them. After listening to the first act Rich Maya, John the sound guy came down to ask if I'd like to give it a go. I played 3 songs; Wildfire, Hidden Depths and Make Me Feel I Belong and got a good reception from the cosy audience. Staying to listen to covers band Chill I ended the night with a good feeling that I had another gig under my belt. I left my details and hopefully will be making a more organised appearance in the next few weeks.

Hi, Lost the slip of paper with your email address, but perhaps this will work. I'm the guy with the double bass from the Piano Bar in Frome. Really enjoyed meeting you and enjoyed your music, we should meet for coffee and a chat sometime. Best, Doug Hamilton, hamildoug@gmail.com
