Asharp's words about Time For My Music

Let us use this great shot by GL360 Productions to introduce Asharp, the next star in the Time For My Music Evening Showcase’s line-up.

Asharp is a versatile saxophonist who plays all three alto, tenor and soprano sax. She has recently broadened her talents by branching out as a solo artist, and is now a regular performer at the ‘Wednesday Mic Fever’ happening at the Legacy Centre.

This is what she told the audience about her experience with Time For My Music:

I joined Time For My Music—it wasn’t at the beginning, but probably after they’d had about two or three sessions […] What I found has helped me most is learning about technology, because I’m the world’s worst when it comes to computers and technology. Millicent, I don’t know how she has managed to do it. She’s just so patient when I can’t log in or pick up the password. She doesn’t shout at all, she just talks calmly, which is good for me, ’cause I’ll panic at it even more [otherwise]. 

It’s the meetings, the fellowship. You know, we have been pushed out of our comfort zone […] Time For My Music has allowed me to, um, I’ve never ever thought I’d be on stage performing in front of somebody. I thought I’d just be in the Notebenders and doing the Notebenders stuff. But I have managed to play at venues, and although it is a bit nerve-wracking, I do enjoy it. So, I’m hoping to do more!

‘The Notebenders’ Asharp mentions is a community big band founded by Andy Hamilton (MBE). You can learn more about them in their website.
