This time ...

This time tomorrow we'll be on our way to the first gig of the weekend.My stomach is all in knots, and I'm half excited, half very apprehensive.I soooooo want it to go alright.If it was just friends and family I think I'd relax a bit more, after all it's only a gig and I never get stagefright anymore - busking for days in Edinburgh got rid of that for me.It's just - these are very prestigious events. If we do well at these and impress the people in the know, we could really step up a gear in terms of the music business.Of course, I'm not expecting record deals or anything - I'm not that unrealistic. But for me the real achievement would be for after this weekend, some of the bigger folk musicians to be saying "Oh yes, Inntinn, they're pretty good - could be quite big someday. Go along and see them" and to be invited to do more prestigious gigs with them - support slots with people, or something similar.I KNOW we can do it. We are perfectly capable. Our ideas are innovative, we're great musicians, we're adequate singers...but will people see us that way?Aaaarrrgggghh. Sometimes I wish I could take Elspeth's attitude and be totally unconcerned with all of this. It would certainly make life easier - but if I didn't worry about it, who would?
