Just been looking through my ebay history, I have brought and sold over 250 items over the time I have been a member, some great stuff and some crap. In Jan 2007 I got a midisport 2x2 PC interface off a seller called Rogue-elements and during the deal I noticed it had been photographed on a mellotron and mentioned this to this seller, after a number of email exchanges and views of this sellers website he advised me to join this forum which is what I did. Little did I know then, that the seller was Brendan and from this chance deal has lead me to this point in my musical journey. Prior to this i'd fell off the earth where EM music was concerned, I didnt even know that it still had a following as such or you guys "my friends" on here. As you know I have played a few times with David Hughes and Jez, but I would never had have thought that I would be doing a gig of my own within this musical genre 5 and half years ago. To say I am very very excited about this prospect is an understatement and it cant come quick enough for me or Dave for that matter, we have booked the rehearsal studio for Thursday/Friday of next week to sort out our mixing requirements and some of the stuff we intend to do with regard to a general plan of arrangement and gear that we will use ( I am still looking on ebay for a replacement PSS780 for the MarTaurus pedals). Then when I come back off hols in a fortnight we will have about 3 weeks to wait. Anyway I would just like to say a big thank you to Brendan for re-introducing me to this, Jez for the opportunity to play at Awakenings and all you guys on here for your continued encouragement of my music throughout, top blokes the lot of ya!

You're welcome Martyn, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and thanks for your support of Awakenings Currently it'll be a bit of everything due to me wanting to include too much into the 45/50 mins we've got, i'm sure by the time it happens we will sort out what ideas we will use. I realy want to play as much bass guitar as possible, but cant do that and tweak synths knobs at the same time so i'll have to settle on a compromise

I seemed to have developed the confidence and strength to do that, and I'm not the most confident and outgoing person on this earth.

Also Xan there might be the small matter of you being bloody good at what you do. A good musician making good albums. And yes it also helps to have the encouragement of other like minded people who play from the heart.

There are many people that are very introverted Xan, but when they get up on a stage to perform they come into their own, as though its what they have been waiting for in their lives. Its their way of expressing their creativity and themselves in general

And yes it also helps to have the encouragement of other like minded people who play from the heart. Thanks Paul, your comments are much appreciated. It certainly makes it worth while when other music lovers and friends like what you do. The forum has certainly been a place of great encouragement. It's also worth while when people come up to you at e.g Awakenings and say how much they like my stuff. I remember one guy said to me that his young Daughter liked one of the tracks on Quantum Waves. I thought later if one of the younger generation likes my stuff, I must be doing something right. Looking forward to the gig Mart, it'll be interesting to see and hear what you and Dave come up with. I think you, me and Phil should still do something in Sept even if we don't play at Pete Challoner's gigs.
