As far as gigs go, it sounds about as straight forward as it can be. Indeed, when I first began playing guitar at weddings and events, I didn’t pay it much thought. [...]
I’ve been looking forward to playing at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire ever since I took the booking way back in August last year. The venue is simply stunning! To deepen my anticipation I treated myself to a new DSLR camera for my birthday last week, which I’ve been dying to try out somewhere picturesque.
