I received a phone call from Debenhams store in Leicester regarding playing at a wedding fair they were holding at their huge store in the Highcross shopping centre.
This was a brilliant opportunity to get myself out there and promote my services to the wider public.
It was a long day with six hours of playing, but as I was opposite the cafe, refreshments were readily available. Some of the shoppers took advantage of the cafe seating to take a well earned break from shopping and enjoy the music. One lady even asked if I had a hat so she could put some money in.
I gave out about a dozen business cards, so hopefully some gigs may be forthcoming from the day, but if not I met and chatted to some really nice people and enjoyed the experience.
Many thanks Debenhams
