A Gig, A Resolution, A Campaign

50% of The Simon Hopper Band at The Carlton Club 


Here's how it goes...

1) Singer-songwriter decides to record new collection.

2) Concludes, to his surprise, that the results are rather good.

3) Plays gig at Carlton Club, 5th June: successful. Thanks to all who came to support. 'A lovely crowd' said the organisers.

4) Singer-songwriter figures this is, after all, what he ought to be doing.

5) Quits work - finally and irrevocably.

6) Begins campaign to take The Simon Hopper Project (solo, various duos, various trios, four-piece) back on the road.

7) Updates publicity material.

8) Creates: Facebook page; Website.

9) Updates blog

10) Begins process of wholesale contacting of venues, promoters, festivals (in the face of the fact that there are seventy-seven acts for every stage hour) to convince them that TSHB and its variants is exactly what they need for their gig (as opposed to the other seventy-six).

11) Waits to see what happens next.
