Doddy Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Cheers guys. Funnily enough,it's not a huge reading gig for me,because I'm going on as part of a 'guest band'. There are full charts for some of the stuff,like the big band style set,but for the most part it's just knowing literally hundreds of tunes. Anyway,it'll be ace to spend most of the winter somewhere nice. Quote

[/quote] Ah, I see your point. I apologise for my rather clumsy English. I meant, of course, that the wife and her (only) husband are friends of mine. Quote

BottomE Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Haha Doddy is about to run into my old Trombone playing mate who i believe works on the very same ship! Quote

4000 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1320692476' post='1430146'] Doddy leaves tomorrow for LA, where he will be playing on the cruise ship Golden Princess, travelling to Hawaii, for four months. [/quote] I'm obviously not right in the head. I turned a cruise job down once as for me it would have been kind of like having a permanent job in Hell. LA, great, Hawaii, great, but the job itself (assuming he's playing cabaret/covers - no difference to me - and not actually playing with Return to Forever or something)? No thanks. Good luck to him though! Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 12 hour shift in a dirty factory churning out the same crap day in day out and you would want to swap back Im sure. Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1320694620' post='1430214'] The wife of some friends of mine has plugged into the cruise ship lecture circuit. Her last trip was a two week cruise somewhere in south America. She was flown out & back business class, put up in a 5* hotel before boarding the ship, put up in an outside cabin and had to give two, yes just two, 45 minute illustrated talks. The rest of the time was hers! [/quote] This is the work I do on Cruise ships as an entertainment 'theatre act' it's nice work Quote

xgsjx Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 All the best with your 4 months away Doddy. It'll probably still be snowing when you come back. Quote
Gareth Hughes Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Nice one Doddy. Hope it's a good one. And be as kind NOT to post about lovely the weather is in all your exotic locations.
