basskit_case Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I have my first gig of sorts coming up next Saturday, but I am at a loss as to what I should wear. It is in my ex-bosses large garden, there is normally approx, 100 people invited to an all day/evening garden party/bbq. We are essentially playing Queen tunes so I am J Deacon, what should I wear other than clean pants and a smile? Should I go with something Deacon'esque or something suitable generic, as a fat lad I fear the small yellow shorts are out Edited June 22, 2013 by basskit_case Quote

DarkHeart Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 go with what your comfortable in (as long as thats not a onsie!) but wear something different to what you go in. Quote

xgsjx Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Wear whatever you feel comfortable in & if that's a bomber jacket, a pair of wellies & a G string, then so be it. Quote

Bolo Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Seriously though, stick to what you know, but go one step fancier than you normaly would. It's party night afterall Quote
Dingus Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I would say that a Live Aid - era Jonh Deacon perm is [u]mandatory[/u] . Why do people remember Queen as the best act on that fateful day ? Some would say Freddie's stage prescence . others would say a back catalogue of hits spanning over a decade , but the real reason is John Deacon having the balls of steel neccesarry to face an audience of billions with a coiffeur right out of The Hair Bear Bunch : Don't forget to post pictures on this site of the results ! And as for the tight yellow shorts , I ( almost ) guarantee you will be fighting the ladies off with a stick if you wear them - the tighter the better : Edited June 23, 2013 by Dingus Quote
