Johnm93 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Took a major step on Monday at an open mic night in Bromley. Drummer, keyboard / vocals and me, doing originals. First time I ever played live, so I was glad we had time to rehearse on Sunday. Bashed out three numbers in what felt like 2 minutes, but was actually 18. Now we are booked in as first support back at the same venue on 13th Feb. Daunting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Brilliant! Ultimately this is what learning to play an instrument us all about - performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy, the key board / singist, writes songs. Lots of them. All the other acts were doing covers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnm93 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Cheers all. Rehearsing tomorrow for the next appearance. Apparently we need 8 songs sorted for a 30 minute set, but might not play them all. Kind of 'over preparing' it... Gulp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
