JapanAxe Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1376672459' post='2177860'] A friends band do really well out of it...and I was reluctant to go and see them as I had these pre-conceptions about material but they had such a good spin on numbers....that it was very entertaing. I think...or have learnt...that if you think the 60's is boring, then you are picking the wrong numbers What can be wrong with the Small Faces, Who and Stones..to start with...!!! [/quote] Yes a lot of it is down to how you approach the material. If you approach it as enjoying playing great songs, you are on a winner. If you think you are churning out the same old guff, you clearly are not! Quote
JTUK Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 yep, it comes down to it that if you are any good, you'll get work... era doesn't really come into it.. We are doing 21st birthday parties..which considering we are much older, that can be daunting, but it seems to work. I also find that a 60th party...which you'd think you'd run away from ..are people who have heard a lot of music and that will work as well. Personally, I hate the 80's... Quote
chris_b Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1376663519' post='2177633'] ....But, how much life is there in a 60's cover band?.... [/quote] Who cares. It's all music and the 60's was full of great music. Do it as long as they are playing the good stuff. You should be asking yourself; how good are they and do I get on with them?

Bilbo Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Lots of great music in the 60s. Doubt you'll be playing any of it tho. Quote
crez5150 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Friend of mine plays guitar with The Overtures...... They really have a slick show. Do lots of TV work and shows in Europe. They do a Theatre tour of the UK too every year Great band [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1376854403' post='2180040'] I saw the overtures last night, absolutely brilliant 60s cover band, and they get some great gigs by the look of it [/quote] Quote
Baxter Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 I play in a Soul Covers band - Sixties and Northern and a 60s originals band if that makes any sense - its all our own stuff but its very 60s. Always plenty going on! Quote
