March 29, 2006Hi Enrico, Can you post your email address on the tagboard and I’ll send you mine? I’ll inform Candid Records too.. Thanks for getting in touch! I’ll check out the festival website. Mishka
More london news!
RIGHT…. Now I’ve sorted that out! First of all, thanks to everyone who has been posting messages and listening to the album! Your support is always appreciated. Just wondering if there have been any England dwellers visiting this blog? If so post a message and let me know so that I can keep you all updated on UK dates. We do however, have some tentative bookings for Spain and France in May which is all very exciting! I’ll post those once I know what’s happening. I’ve been rehearsing and collaborating with a band now led by a trumpeter called John Hoare, snd they are a fantastic bunch of musicians. We’re also writing together and creating new material for the second album. For all those who prefer the original songs, you’ll be glad to hear that there will be more of those on the second album! There’s a new sound emerging, and so far it has been really fun and a great learning experince working with new musicians. I’m missing all our gigs back in Manila but not to fear, we may be having a Christmas show in Teatrino (Greenhills) in December. I have an audition on April 20th for a postgrad jazz studies course, so wish me luck! Hope I can pass, there’s so much I want to learn. Anyway that’s all for now, thanks again for all the messages, and hope to see more soon! Pass on the word and thanks for your support! Mishka
hey!
March 2, 2006Hey everyone!
Greetings from grey london!
All is going well, we finally found a place! A spacious two bedroom flat
with nice living/eating area kitchen and small patio out the back for when
the summer finall rols around. Just finishing the last bits of paperwork and
payment before we move in on wednesday. We should have internet a week after
that so I’ll be able to write more often..
Musically, things are looking very exciting, but will definitely be hard
work. Had a meeting at Candid yesterday with the leader of the band I’ll be
playing with and he’s a nice guy, and his band are good, I’ve jammed with
them before. So after we’ve moved it’s time to knuckle down and rehearse!
We’ve got dates line up from April onwards. We’ll be playing in Spain (woo hoo!)
and France in May which is exciting but we’ll do
some local dates before that so the the band can gel..
Still waiting for word from the music school I applied to for the part time
diploma course.. I was told to call up the other day to speak to someone
about my application but no reply when I called. Looks hopeful though! As
soon as we’re settled I might look for a temporary part time job just to
earn some extra cash while things aren’t too busy yet. Maybe just 2 to 3
days a week only.
Aaanyway so far that’s a brief update on the news.. I hope everyone is well
and happy. Write soon! We miss you all
Lots of love, Mish and Ariz
