A very subjective look into AWFC

Non football post, my friends…

Since most of my readers are in the UK, I wanted to let you know that in about a week’s time I will be headed to England, Scotland and Wales. I will be playing drums with Orianthi, a badass female singer/guitar virtuoso whom I have been playing with here and there for the past year and a half or so.

For those of you that are curious, she plays blues/rock/pop and she has been absolutely killing it since she was a kid. Most people know her from her work with Michael Jackson, so if you ever saw the “This Is It” documentary, that was her on guitar.

Among the reasons why I am excited is that I love playing small clubs which have personality, grit and history. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love playing stadiums and arenas, more than anything in this world… places like The O2 for obvious reasons buuuuuut this time I get to play at a venue I’ve wanted to for a long time… The O2 Academy in Islington, which is about 1.5 miles from The Emirates and I’m assuming that’s as close to The Arsenal as I will ever play, unless it’s somehow, someway at the actual Emirates.

I’d love to see any of you out there and thank you in person for reading my posts because I really appreciate you.
