Today I travelled 5 hours on a bus to get to London. I went to play an open mic night and visit a friend whilst there. Little did I know that halfway through the journey (in the Norwich bus station) I met one of my favourite youtubers, Jack Dean. It was pretty surreal mainly because I had literally watched his latest video the night before, which was about what he was doing today!
So on this long bus journey I ended up chatting with a physics teacher for the whole journey. He was very interesting, especially since I am a science fanatic myself. We got talking about my music at the end and I handed over one of my business cards, not expecting much. He text me a few hours later telling me how much he liked my music. I felt pretty good about that, because it feels like I am expanding my name out of my hometown.
I got to London and it was pretty much time to go to the open mic, but me and my friend had a good old McDonalds first! We got to The Enterprise, in Camden, for the open mic and waited for the promoter. It looked like a cool pub on the ground floor, but up the stairs was a really awesome music venue. It was such a great place to play at and the audience were very enthusiastic! I gained a lot of new fans from today and it has driven me to want to travel around and play music as much as I can, so that's what I am going to do!
