Jigster Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 how long have you had tp learn the set then? couple of weeks? good going man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I think one of the reasons I got the gig was preparation and my OCD'ness - I went to see them live and then learned seven songs (they only play originals) for the audition. So I'm already most of the way to learning a 30-45 minute set Edited March 18, 2012 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks gents, it was fantastic. Played really well in a 40 minute set. Great reception from a big crowd at the Hootananny and the rest of the band were really chuffed. Still buzzing! Good thing the adrenaline kicked in as I flew in to UK this morning from Brazil and am very jet-lagged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Shame it's a bit distorted but I can hear what's going on, and it sounds excellent mate! And you look great! How was the feedback from the band on your first gig with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 They seemed very pleased - and especially chuffed that I managed the gig despite jetlag! Their FB page mentions the "excellent new bassist" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
