The glamour and reality…
It’s not always 5 star hotels and card tricks.
Last week, my van died! I was booked to perform at a small private party out in rural Shaftesbury.
The guests weren’t quite ready, so I parked just over half a mile away and told the booker no problem let me know when you’re ready and I’ll swoop in…
I get the text, go to start the van, nothing. My battery is flat.
The client is really cool and asks if I want to cancel.
That word just doesn’t exist in my vocabulary and I wasn’t that far away.
I realised I had a scooter with me, I’ll scoot there!
It was pitch black so I put my Hi-Viz on, an LED light from my van as a headlight and I scoot along this country road close up cases in hand to the gig and a bottle of wine for the birthday girl stuffed in my coat 😂
I got there quickly and in one piece.
We had an amazing time and a buddy came to my rescue later to pick me up and jump start the van.
A fun story to tell, but I’d rather not repeat that 😆
