Do I get nervous ?

Well yes a little – and I have to admit that as it is 4 months since my last gig, not only am I nervous about the 15 new songs in my set for tomorrow night’s Mother’s Day gig at Lush, but I am also nervous about my established songs.  I have been rehearsing most of the day today, although I have to say I have found it hard to focus and concentrate for some reason, and been finding it a little frustrating.  It happens – some days are like that !

There is always tomorrow morning, and I will do a full run through just to make sure I am up to scratch with my words.  I’d best be ‘cos the restaurant has booked me now for Good Friday as well.

Anyway, here is my song list for tomorrow night’s gig, and remember you are still not too late to book a table with the restaurant and treat yourself or your mum, or just celebrate the memory of your mum.  Have a great Mother’s Day.

About Andrew Sings.....

My name is Andrew Tait. I am originally from Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, and have now lived in Turkey for four years. Initially I lived on the beautiful Aegean coast of South West Turkey, and in 2012 I moved to the Fethiye area on the Mediterranean coast. Formerly a communications professional in the global financial services industry, I had always had a huge desire to be a singer and share my enjoyment of music with other people. So much so that I spent many an evening in karaoke bars crooning my tunes whilst enjoying a fine ale or two! I even went for an audition (many years ago now) for a part in a West End musical - sadly without success. In the early part of 2010 I was asked by two special friends if I would like to do a 'show' at their bar in Altinkum, Didim. Soon I was feeling the stress of learning 30 new songs in a four week period for a my very first ever public performance as a solo professional vocalist. Since that first performance things have just steam-rollered, to the point in early 2012 I was doing five or six gigs regularly every week in Didim and Akbuk. I perform many classic and contemporary pop songs from across six decades. My favourite genre for singing is Swing and I frequently perform my various theme/tribute nights, including a Rat Pack Show. I currently have over 200 songs in my repertoire, and I absolutely love my work as a singer.
