Thanks for the support guys. My band mates didn't take it too well unfortunately. I feel like I've dumped a girlfriend or something. We only have two gigs booked and one of those has yet to be confirmed. I offered to do both gigs as I don't want to leave them high and dry.

To be honest Spud the number of gigs isn't really the problem. I have a busy full time job, a demanding ( & rewarding ) family and a 3 hour daily round trip to work. There just ain't enough hours in the day for me to be in any band right now.
