This time last year I was enjoying the trip of a lifetime to the New Zealand Nationals with United Co-op Yorkshire. What a fatastic experience both on and off the contest stage.

This time last year, I was feeling depressed about going down a section after the areas, and generally feeling ****ed off with playing Glen Miller Special every rehearsal in a band where no-one wanted to get any better! Was getting more and more desperate to go and have a crack at the big contests/concerts, rather than tiny, rubbish jobs in front of the same 20 people once a month. Even contemplated giving up playing completely as I felt the life was being sapped out of me with every rehearsal that went by...

Tons better now, though. Better concerts, contests and ambition. Life couldn't get any better. (Actually I'm lying - I could have won the lottery and finally realized my true occupation - 'Lady wot lunches'!)
