Intermittent Irritations

The internet did start working in halls this morning but it's gone down again rather incoviniently so I've come back up to the radio rooms again. It's also rather warm in here as well so that makes things more incovinient but I'm hoping that things will start behaving themselves in halls before too long.

On the plus side I mananged to book tickets for a gig taking place next month at the Clapham Grand which is where I went to see Atar and The Funkadrome, my first gig in London just two days after arriving there. This time Atar's performing with his new band Royal Showdown alongside some other acts who will be on the bill.
The new band have a slightly more edgier sound compared to the Funkadrome but it will be good to see them live and hear some of the new material which I'm sure will be worth the wait.

I've also looked at a few work placement opportunities during the summer and there's an interesting one about a radio station operating at a primary school in South London where they want people to help out in areas such as station branding, features and other area of production.
I may also have a go at trying to get placements at other companies and stations as it would be nice to have some sort of experience within radio before I finish my degree. Especially as I won't really be doing anything else when I'm writing my dissertation.
