Working and the regular wallet

Postby greedoniz » Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:29 pm

Hello

I always seem to be in a quandry when it comes to working gigs and what to do with my regular wallet.
If it is a gig in which I need to drive then I leave it (no cash in it anyway) locked in the glove box but many of the gigs are in central London and so rely on public transport.
When it comes to pocket space I feel a regular wallet taking up a pocket a complete travesty but also feel it slightly worrying to leave it in my close up bag as I wander about.

ohhhh the quandry!

I do have a gimmicked wallet I use (Jardonnet) but due to certain aspects of it I cannot put credit cards and the such like in it. I dont wish to change to another wallet as they dont have what I require.

I put my bank card and a few notes in my JOL wallet and leave everything else at home

What about a credit card and a few quid in your back pocket, or sock??

I worry because the Jardonnet wallet has a magnet in it (not a very strong one but I dont wish to screw up my cards.
With public transport in London you need your oyster card, plus any mid week gigs I get I have to go straight from work

as i am right handed, i keep my wallet in my right inside jacket pocket when gigging.

or, i put it into my close up case.( along with my keys, and any loose change) As im carrying it around with me, its the perfect place.

one thing i do do, is set my mobile alarm to vibrate, and stick it into my right trouser pocket. this way i know when my stint is up. :)






now i know thats going to go to innuendo bingo.. and i just dont care :lol:
