ShergoldSnickers Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1382955655' post='2258301'] Just don't forget ...... that you are checking them out as much as they are checking you out. Don't be afraid to back out if they look like a shambles, it will save you time in the long run. [/quote] Perhaps this should have been the advice Milty was offered on first joining BC. I certainly could have used it. Quote
gary mac Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1382945649' post='2258141'] You turn up at the first rehearsal and then they come clean and tell you it's actually a Suzi Quattro Tribute Band [/quote] ....and you have to do this dance routine [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9ShxkcqUlQ[/media] Quote

I'm the only one qualified for that round here! And before you cite the other laydeez here on BC, let me point out they are all far too young. Quote
Ticktock Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Go on. Do it. Let us know where you are gigging. I might be able to go. Quote
White Cloud Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 One mans madness is another's sanity. Instead of playing with yourself go and play with others....you know it makes sense! Quote

MiltyG565 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks for all the encouragement But I'm not in the band... yet I hope to hear from the guy soon though. I've been honest with him so he can make an informed decision without any surprises further down the line. Quote

Dingus Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) You should start your own band , Milty. You're young enough , you've got plenty of energy and lots of ideas . And being from Northern Ireland will help get you on Radio 1 . They love to go out of their way to be "minority regional" at every oppotunity , so take advantage. I fully expect next years Radio 1 Big Weekend to be held in cow shed on the Outer Hebrides while Radio 1 DJs wax lyricalk about how vital and vibrant the local music scene is and thousands of teenage music fans try and stave off hypothermia whilst raving to the latest and hippest bands . You could be playing bass in one of them . Edited October 31, 2013 by Dingus Quote

I even took the stance of "genre preference doesn't matter" for a while, and that still didn't get any results. Oh well Quote
