Gig On The Pier: War, war, what is it good for?! Absolutely nothing!

23.27/08/2021


 Hello World I'm Your Cherry Bomb!


UPDATE 

I've been stepping down, again, as an Artist, (by this, I mean, doing other jobs that I am also skilled in) to 'help the world' ** : 

my name, Sophie, is associated with the Greeks, but Greece, I am ashamed of you:-  how can you not help these people?!

Thankful that I have been granted opportunities to try to give something back to the hospitality industry, without which, some venues would not be able to provide work for musicians, artists, dancers etc., and have taken them, I am continuing to do so.

HOWEVER, Yes! I've done at least one gig since lockdown: 

Blackpool you were wonderful - too busy, focusing on providing only covers, as I normally sing original songs also, as a Multi-Instrumentalist, I suggested sax., and the Bar Manager said Yes! to provide my own photos/media, you'll have to, as my Mum, God rest her soul, when I was a little girl, quite often said, "make do" with this little beauty:

Blackpool *
Thank you Blackpool Pier!
'Gig On The Pier'


Although, I did get 'heckled' by a Scouser asking for more Singer/Guitar 'stuff' (no surprise there, being heckled by a Scouser! or was it a scallywag? not sure, apologies, my northern brothers and sisters of music appreciation that is soul sounds itself!), my solo sax playing went down a treat with folks singing along to my Fugees cover and my solo jammin' sesh, although I only designated about 20 mins. to it being appreciated by all of the audience as a, more or less, family quiz: name that tune style! and impressed I was with alot of the audience input and participation.

A pleasure to play Blackpool, maybe next time I will get to visit the Pleasure Beach etc. also!
