What was I thinking? This morning, my friend Nicky, a girl I met in Spain (and our drummer’s sister), emailed me some pictures of me and the rest of the band, Sammy’s Escape, supporting Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel at Estepona bullring back in August 2007. I have to admit, it brought a tear to my eye. So much has changed since then. When I look at the pictures, I think of how happy I was and how boring my life is now that I’m back in England. I must have been insane to leave such a beautiful place, such crazy but interesting people and friends that became more like family to me. What was I thinking?!!!  Anyway, the gig was awesome, one of my greatest achievements so far. I’d love the chance to do it again someday but who knows what’s around the corner…   check out some of the photos below: n508269450_98744_89802.jpgn508269450_98746_94452.jpgn508269450_98747_96693.jpgn508269450_98750_3492.jpgn508269450_98753_15112.jpgwith-a-rebel.jpg Recommended track of the day: ‘Honest Mistake’ by The Bravery. 

  At precisely 9:20pm on Friday 10th August, 1007, my band, Sammy’s Escape, of which I am the lead singer, performed live at Estepona bullring as one of two opening acts for 70’s legends, Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel.It was a very surreal evening. Our sound was superb- you could hear every word as clear as day, unlike our previous gigs,  and it felt amazing to be on the other side after years of watching bands and wishing I was up there with them. Wearing the word ‘Artist’ on tags around our necks had to be the funniest part, well, that and the fact that after the gig, I got so drunk I didn’t even realise the guy who was posing for photos with me backstage wasn’t even Steve Harley- it was his drummer!!!                         P.S. If anyone has any photos of the gig, let me know, as most of mine are on my poorly laptop and I can’t get to them at the moment.
