My audition with the band Khan.
Scottish tour in two months, then onto Europe for the new year. US and Canada for this time next year. As well as recording and every hippy/folk/weirdo festival going. Very, very busy schedule. Added bonus of a guaranteed wage that is no paltry token fee.
No setlist to learn, no songs to familiarize myself with. Just turn up, plug in and see if you fit in. Suppose they want to see adaptability and musicianship over preparation. At least thats what I'm telling myself.

Kind of nervous, it's completely opposite to what I'd prefer for an audition.

Just be yourself...try not to stress out (easier said than done, I know)...and
try to listen to what they have to say about everything.

A small recorder (I think you had a Zoom unit) to catch everything is good
to have for afterwards.

Best of luck my friend!

Proverbially, "break a leg" Niki! You have my vote, of course. Oh yes, and remember, Mona Lisa wore that smile for a reason, you are in possession of that very smile so use it and the gig will be yours.

Got the spot, now I just have to learn 300 songs and figure how to fit in a grueling tour schedule to my day job.
Cheers gang.
