I was booked to play at a birthday gig last night. During the break, the cake actually almost caught fire because the woman on the right took too long with her thank-you speech, LOL!

LOL! A valid question, if ever I heard one.

Woweeeeee!

So tonight I’ve been asked to be in a band supporting Leona Lewis (12th July) and Katherine Jenkins (3rd August) at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre. If that wasn’t cool enough, it’s Europe’s largest open air theatre with a capacity of around 6000 people. That’s a bit big!

Time to let the good news sink in. To top it all off, I’ve had a lovely birthday meal out for Jodie’s 23th, along with her parents, my gorgeous girlfriend, and her brother and parents. It was a great gathering, I’d sorely missed all of their company :)

Things are finally looking up again!

A very happy Lapster, out!
