Cue drum roll

I’ve sent an email off to the bosses at Regent, so now I feel I can talk about the new job.
I’ve been offered a role of Musical Director for a new musical in Brisbane. It’s three week’s run, but I’m told it will have a longer life than that. One of the stars will be my friend Chloë Dallimore. It’s all terribly exciting, and I’m looking forward to it.

However, it does mean I have to leave the Mariner about a month early. I’m sure Lyn and Justin will be understanding, but it’s still a bit awkward. Phil leaving yesterday. And Russel, the bass player, managed to cut open his finger the other day, and was medically disembarked for ten days. So it’s not the best time to be resigning, even on a month’s notice.
Still, at least it’s for something really good. Amazingly good in fact. Wahey!
