The Single and the Radio

Good Evening/Afternoon/Morning Blogger!

So it's been an awful long time since I last wrote any form of blog but I feel like tonight is time to write about all of the new things that have happened to me. Ranging from my band releasing it's first single/demo to getting air time on Radio Northumberland, there has just been so much going on.

Firstly on May 1st my band relased its first single called "Time Out" and it got really good reviews from people which obviously helped boost my confidence in my singing (This was always an issue with me, not having any confidence about singing). It is on Soundcloud/Reverbnation and is available for free download; luckily loads of people shared the song around and it got up to 500 listens within a few weeks. That whole concept of 500 separate listens to a track I've sung on kind of freaked me out; but at least I knew it was good enough for people to be interested!

NSH before the gig @ The Globe!

Secondly, within days of releasing the track we secured a gig at The Globe in Newcastle and another around August time. This was a really exciting step towards being a regular gigging band... This was something I have been looking forward to for a very long time and now it has happened! From coming out of a low place at the start of the year this really helped push me out of my slump.

Lastly, the single also got a great slot on Radio Northumberland which is a local radio station and again we got a great response off that also!

ANYWAY!

I'll put the link to the single below and also a link to the band facebook so you can keep up to date with all of the brilliant things that are happening lately.
