Down On The Corner

By Paul Moffett

Prepping for Derby Week starts early around here and certainly folks who handle events are getting their bookings lined. Are you and your band playing gigs over Derby Week? Curious to know, given the constant lamentations I hear from players about a lack of gigs and places to gig.

Truthfully, I cannot remember a period since the Eighties when musicians weren’t complaining about a lack of work.

Otherwise, things are running at about par in Derby City, omitting discussions of politics, of course.

Keep on keeping on and keep informed about music news.
