: The promised Next Post: singing, songwriting and self-reliance
Saturday night, Avenue St Andrew's Church. Looks like a new build, or at least a recent renovation; there's a glass-door frontage with a light concrete asymmetric arch over it, and there is a blue neon-lit sign outside with the name of the church in Verdana.
( It may not be Las Vegas, but it's my big Saturday night showtime alright )
This is the kind of experience that university can provide without you knowing it. Would I have had any kind of opportunity like that in Weymouth? Choral singing, possibly; backstage lighting and radio DJing, unquestionably not.
And this choir is most interesting too. It's entirely unauditioned, and so informal that you have a couple of people who can't read music in it; conversely there are some for whom singing's a genuine career aspiration, such as NI.
( Something was missing, though... )
