Tonight I play at my own office party. Nerve racking playing in front of your work mates.

I'm breaking out a new solo arrangement of the Spinner's "I'll be around".

I'll let you know how it goes.

Weird....I still get the jitters.

Break a leg Nick! :wink:
I still get nervous before performing too, and I've been doing it for years. Once you get up there & get your mojo working you'll be fine! :D Are you going to wear the hat & dark shades? 8) Have a great time.

Oh yea, pics! We're going to need pics!! :wink: 8) :D

Good luck and enjoy Nick.

The first time I played in front of my co-workers was in a sneaky way by not telling them we were going to play. I went to someones cubicle who also plays and we just started playing. We did gather a little crowd and didn't even get the boss made (it was me).

I often wondered if they just liked my playing because I was the manager :lol: :lol:

Part of the experience -- funk it up, Nick.

I played my office party last year. Get there first, warm up, and make sure the stage is as you'd want it.

We'll look out for the reviews in Kerrang! or the NME

Best,

Well even though it wasn't my original intent, I got considered in with all the karaoke singers in the talent portion of the holiday festivities.

Go figure, I won $500 and two round trip tickets anywhere in the US.
