I'm down for a 5 string Streamline!!!! Woo hoo

Ok so got two great and different gigs this weekend.... Gig 1 is playing in my originals band on the Beach in Clacton for the air show.... should be fun. Gig 2 is with my function band playing in a Monastery ([url="http://www.themonasterymanchester.co.uk/Images/alter.jpg"]The Monastery[/url])..... Acoustics from hell for a band.... I'll get some pics up early next week

And buy a transit to lug them about in...

In the Strongroom Studios.... In the Forest... Performing with the fantastic Craig Blundell (drums)

The nerves are made worse by the fact that a lot of the punters will be people I know. I've always found it more nerve-racking to play in front of people I know than to play to total strangers. How do you handle gig nerves or do you eventually get over them the more you play?[/quote] yeah..... eventually you'll just get on with it and not think about it too much

I think it depends on the band and what your trying to accomplish live.... In my originals act I try to be very precise but with a degree of movement on stage i.e. rockin out with the guys... but with the function band definitely total show boating and the like which does sometimes leave room for error..... but the punters love it!!!!

Trimite is the usual stuff - [url="http://www.adamhall.com/uk/AH_K--Trimite-matt-black-paint__l--en__p--project_27__b--0130"]Trimite[/url]

We only ever let them pick 3 or 4 songs at most.... and the first dance of course

Greed!

I was thinking that...... I may print this out for tomorrow nights gig and give it to the guys to get their reactions..... I'd love to see Stevie wonder play Sledgehammer...

I'd vote for him.... haha!

you may notice that they have come up under the wrong artists but you get the point!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='258155' date='Aug 8 2008, 02:29 PM']Slight off-topic, but staying with the classics, we were rehearsing [i]Wonderful World[/i] by Sam Cooke the other night. Having two kids still at school, I started one verse with [color="#8B0000"]Don't know much about I.C.T., don't know much sociology ...[/color] It all broke down when I realised that I couldn't get [color="#8B0000"]Media Studies[/color] even to scan, let alone rhyme. [/quote] Your just not trying hard enough are you...

Looks like it's been amended to start from £800

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='257996' date='Aug 8 2008, 12:31 PM']I've played at hundreds and hundreds of trad weddings - nothing but nothing goes down better than a bit of Mustang Sally and the like. If you want to go down like whale sh*t, by all means play a bit of prog rock or punk or jazz.[/quote] +1

I think it's a shame..... imagine how many they would sell if they retailed this at £300.

Also if you want some DISCO - [url="http://www.myspace.com/hotsaucedisco"]Hot Sauce[/url]

SB-1 anyone...
