I love music and I love writing so it kinda makes sense for me to combine the two and try to make a career out of it. So that is what I'm aiming to do. Last weekend I attending a friend of mine's gig in Glasgow. It seemed the perfect opportunity to write a review about the gig and use it for my college work. Kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes. I think it is harder than it seems to write a review of a band because you want to get across to the reader the atmosphere of the gig and also how well the band played, the songs they did etc without boring them to tears and giving them a minute by minute account of the night.
It is easier if you know the band though. You know what their set list is going to be ahead of time and you also know what tyope of music they play and most importantly you know if they are any good! You need to have a good ear for music and be able to try to write objectively soemthing that I am still trying to work on.
Bob Dylan once said "A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do". I try to live my life by that quote and hoefully will be able to achieve it.
