Neil Erua + Patch William + Tom Bradley + Francesca Guarino Monday, 7 December 20:00 - 00:00 Troubadour Club, 263-7 Old Brompton Road, Earls Court, SW5 9JA Live Music: Indie For the years that I have lived in London, "The Troubadour" club has always fascinated me. At the same time a 1950's jewel, a modern cafe and a must stop intimate (120 seats) venue for many acoustic singers since the60's. I am more than thrilled to be playing there on Monday. Just to add a bit more pressure on my shoulders. Artist which have played at The Troubadour include:

Richard Harris - in early 1956

Charlie Watts - in summer 1961

Bob Dylan - Christmas 1962

Paul Simon - in early 1965^[

^{Jimmy Page and Robert Plant - 1975 post Earls Court Arena gig come down session,}

more recent artists to pass through the club include: Jamie T, Jack Peñate, The Dead 60s, Chris Singleton, Paulo Nutini and Morcheeba.

Come along and join the fun!

You know you've become a musician when...

1. Your right arm has doubled in size from carrying your guitar everywhere (or you just have too much spare time).
2. You realize you have not gotten out of your Pjs three days in a row.
3. Not washing your hair is a good thing.
4. Getting a cold is a bad thing (no excuses when it comes to singing in tune)
5. People tend to answer « that’s cool! » and their thumbs tend to erect at you when you tell them what you do.
6. People insist on paying you drinks assuming you are an alcoholic.
7. You end up giving a pitch about your musical projects to random people first chance you get.

9. The local guitar shop owner becomes your best friend and has your new pack of strings ready on the counter before you even enter the door.
10. Start meeting up with old university musician friends
11. Beer replaces water
12. You actually need to explain to someone why your busy on a weekday and even when you do tell them, they still don’t believe your busy.
13. You end up doing lists like these on your spare time.
14. No more snooze button needed
15. 3am is an early night in.
16. Your flat mate think you have become his wife (or personal maid).
17. You flat mate think you have become a new piece of furniture.
18. No, it is not possible to have sex with you r guitar and not legal to marry it either..
19. Conversations with Jimi Hendrix are not unusual.
20. You start singing in the Tube and breaking into an Air guitar solo using your umbrella.
