[size=4]As deepbass5, 40 years worth of depping and regular functions/weddings.
During the 80' and 90's I worked for a couple of well known high society function band leaders.
Anything thing from six piece up to twenty piece bands, gigs world wide for very well know celebs,
private parties for royalty, political gatherings, corporate trade shows etc.
The Rhythm section often had to play through the dinner courses,
the hours would be very, very long. Some weeks there might even be seven nights of work,
including Jewish gigs, West End tea dances, strict Tempo comps.
Small band afternoon gigs in London Hotels would pop up as well, so you might have two gigs in a day.
Always top players and singers on the gigs, so usually very enjoyable.
Some of the overseas gigs where a riot socially. [/size]
