I've been asked to fill a 20 minute slot at a venue on Melrose this sunday night and I am absolutely bricking it. What with my move to the States and my prolonged stay in the midwest (which pretty much destroyed my will to live) I have barely picked up my guitar or sung a note in almost 5 months and I'm pretty rusty (your voice is a muscle like any other and needs to be exercised). It will also be the first time I've ever played in America and the first time I've ever climbed on stage by myself without a band or at least one other person to share the ordeal - this is me and a guitar, raw and exposed. Anyone got any tips for preparing for such an event and battling stagefright? I'm looking at you Gaffer.
