We’ve reached that annual period where the majority of us are broke, hungover, dreading going back to work, considering dieting, and deluding ourselves into thinking that this year will be a “whole new me”. It’s a vicious cycle.
Despite not being the most optimistic person, on the music front January and the next few months ahead are shaping up pretty nicely - definitely worth leaving the house for.
The run up to Christmas sent musicians and bands back into the studios, which can only mean that our regions should have new music on the horizon - tour dates, fresh material and undiscovered talent yet to emerge.
I can’t speak for anyone’s personal life, - especially my own - but music wise I have a good feeling about 2019 (see below). There were a few bands which popped up on my radar near the end of 2018, so I’m eagerly hoping they will reappear in some of our venues across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and West Berkshire.
