I have encountered some bad luck this week. I received an e-mail at the beginning of the week from Caroline who works at Nice n Sleazys booking the gigs. She informed me that the 7th May was "no longer available for me". I was very angry about this because she had confirmed my slot for the 7th over a month ago and has not given me a reason as to why it has been cancelled. I'm guessing that something better has come along that will make them more money as it is a Friday night or perhaps she is doing a favour for a friend.

I decided to contact Classic Grand which is another club in Glasgow city centre and I asked if they would do the same deal as Nice n Sleazys. The booking agent Ellen replied quickly and told me that it depends on tickets sales and numbers in at the door. Caroline form Nice n Sleazys has offered me the 4th May for free due to messing me about. I have now had to get in touch with everyone to check if this will be suitable. I have also drawn up a list of dates between the 3rd May to the 16th May as this is the two week slot at which I must perform my gig and phoned everyone last night to ask exactly when they are free during this period so that I can then contact Caroline and ask her what dates she has free during this period also and pick a night when everyone is free to do the gig.

I will not be able to practice this week due to Adam having an interview for University. It is not possible to rehearse the songs without him as he is the lead guitar and it would be rather pointless. I have arranged a practice for next Wednesday involving the band and my singer Jennifer. I am unable to get my other singers in next week due to them being busy however, I have informed them that I would like them in the week after so they will ensure that they are free for rehearsal.

I will continue to practice my set and perform research for my project.
