Have you met any of your idols yet? Gotten any advice from the veterans?
I played with Weddings Parties Anything on NYE quite a while ago now at the Sandringham. My girlfriend at the time used to say that I drank too much on stage, and that I should learn from the likes of these guys (they drank bottled water on stage). Backstage later that night before they started playing, their bass player 'Irish' tipped out his bottled water and filled it with Vodka. I thought that was a pretty neat trick!
Finally, what question would you like to ask yourself?
Can I buy you a beer?
