2007 :- a learning curve
Not being one to write long personal blogs I shall restrict my review of 2007 The main theme of which has been a real learning curve based on a varied experience.
Large audiences, at the 'Sage' -(Gateshead) and Royal Hotel - (Richmond) and several small (in one case non existant) audiences in pubs and clubs.
The main improvement in fortune in 2007 has been London with quite a circuit building up - 2008 will see a lot more visits to London and SE England.
One of the greatest joys of this job is meeting friends and collegues. Over the year I've had the pleasure of working with : John Wright, Jez Lowe , Brother Crow and Wendy Arrowsmith. I also got to meet Dave Burland again after 20 odd years.
So what's been the learning curve ?
Well, after a bit of observational research, changes have been introduced to the way 'Chris Milner' is presented.
I've now created a significant business from music so, from a professional point of view; floor spots and hanging around the fringes of festivals is counter productive - likewise this is not background music, so no more routine Fri/Sat night pub gigs.
I decided to get organised and take control and am pleased to say it's paying dividends already with a healthy gig list for 2008 - but more significantly :-
People coming to performances advertised localy (on official posters or paid for press ads) or via this web site can be sure of being part of a listening audience.
Thank you all for your continued support ..........Chris
