Well just to update on this ,.. We invited him in to one of our rehearsals so we could all meet and he could here us ,we didnt want to put to much pressure on him so I gave him 3 songs that we would be doing and if he wanted to join in he would be welcome , he turned up with his vintage guitar and marshal amp and must say he was really good , he had not even heard some of the songs we do before but soon joined in with them , although his little marshal wasn't up to it so we plugged him in to a old peavy we have spare at the rehearsal rooms and wam bam , sounding great , we are giving the spot to him if he wants it , should be good experience for him and feel that it will work out well for all of us really
