My view of tomorrow night's music.

Concert at 7:30pm, at The Cryer, GSAL, Leeds. It's a new venue for us (it's a new-ish venue anyway, only been there a couple of years)

Home after the first rehearsal of the year - first time playing bass in three weeks. I'm broken. This does not bode well for the rest of the week - I've got another three rehearsals this week (luckily, two on oboe), and a full day of playing at the weekend.

Leeds Symphony Orchestra (The #OriginalLSO) rehearsals have started. Next concert is just a few weeks away, and we're doing this little lot.

The concert is on 10th October, as part of the Wetherby Festival. More details to follow. Maybe.
