tour diary part 7 (oh Vienna...)
I'm back home in lovely Shoreditch and I'm bloody freezing.. I am also facing the reality that I am utterly skint after the tour and I'll have to get a real job... *sigh*...
The gig in Vienna was absolutely fantastic.. a great way to end the tour... Birdland is a beautiful venue, and it was great to play in a club again and actually be able to see people's faces... the sound was great and Erich Zawinul, yes Erich Zawinul loved it and wants me back. So that absolutely made my night... We spent the rest of the evening drinking champagne, kindly purchased by Antonio's wife, and watching a crazy/drunk lady dancing madly to all of Joe's set (including the slow songs...)...
So I would recommend touring to all musicians.. all in all a great experience, so long as you don't expect to be rich and famous at the end of it.. :-).. I am a lot less scared of singing to HUGE audiences which is a bonus.. let's hope I get the chance to sing to some huge audiences again...
