Dear Diary

These past few days I have been looking into joining a musicians’ diary service. Essentially, the idea is you let them know when you’re busy and they deal with enquiries from fixers and orchestras and generally try to line-up work to fill in the gaps. An ingenious idea, with the potential promise of generating more work. So I may be joining the dizzy ranks of those elite London professionals…

It just got me wondering, why is it only musicians who need this kind of service? Afterall, surely a ‘plumbers’ diary service’ could be useful? I guess they fall into the category of ‘receptionist’, but there must be a business proposition in that?

You heard it here first.
