thunderbird13 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 After retiring from bass playing in the summer I answered an ad in Gumtree as i was bored and they were local . I passed the audition last night ! Got a small gig in 2 weeks time. Given my past experience I'm sure this will all go pear shaped in a few months Still at least I'm pleased with myself today !

icastle Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Excellent news!!! Don't worry about it going pear shaped, just get yourself in there and blow them away some more . Even if it doesn't work out, it's far easier to get a slot in a band if you are already playing than it is if you aren't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul h Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yay for you! Remember, give 'em hell and don't take any sh*t from anybody! Force them into a totally new direction and drop their current set list. All will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
