Dr M Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I've ended up playing guitar and bass (not at the same time!) in a 3-piece band for a little local am-dram panto! After 4 full runs at the weekend, tonight's the first night of a 6-show run. Gotta say, I'm feeling the nerves a little. Been a few years since I last played live, and I certainly wasn't expecting to get back into it like this. Even got a couple of solos - bassline to MJ's Bad for one piece of entrance music, and a faux Spanish guitar piece during a (suitably comedic) romantic moment. Quote
discreet Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Well done - you'll be fine once you start playing. Sounds like a laugh! Enjoy yourself. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 All the very best. Sounds like you will thoroughly enjoy once its starts. Cheers Dave Quote
Dr M Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Well, there we go. First night went well. Only one (noticeable) duff note during the Spanish-guitar style bit. My girlfriend later commented 'for a moment, I thought you'd gone all experimental jazz.' Everything else was great on the music front. A couple of forgotten lines from the actors, but they recovered well. Just 5 more to go! Quote
seashell Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Brilliant! I love Panto - a great British theatrical tradition ! 'Look behind you!' 'Oh no it isn't!' 'Almost midnight and still no sign of Dick!' .. and other well known panto sayings Quote
