As most of you know, I play guitar a bit which explains my hanging around here so much. Tomorrow is induction day at the Essex School Music Service - I put in an application when I was made redundant from UBS earlier this year and my record of never having failed an audition is still intact. I am joining Essex as a peripatetic guitar teacher and will be going in to three schools each week to turn all those parents' little darlings into the next Jimi Hendrix. My first day in School is Thursday of next week. I'm also available for private lessons (I have one student who's just renewed for another set of lessons) and I'm available for weddings, family parties, corporate events and all that sort of stuff.
I'll still be doing some part time investment banking and I've got a few more irons in the fire which (hopefully) will allow me to get out of that industry completely, not least the possibility of taking on a few more schools.
So, wish me luck. I should have done this years ago
