When I’m introduced as a church musician, the first question I get asked is, ‘Is that a full-time job?’ Well, as I only work one day a week, here’s what I did last Sunday.
7.45 Breakfast and Match of the Day with Philly (my wife) and the boys (Ollie, 3 and Charlie, 1).
9.15 Arrive at church. Dave the violinist has been there since 8.45, as he’d got his Sunday alarm clock mixed up with his weekday one (yes, he has two). I’ve got half an hour before the rehearsal to check mikes, music and chords so we can use the time efficiently.
