itsmedunc Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I've been going in circles for years but recently we have managed to get two of our childhood local heroes in the band! Its really odd. I used to be at the front at their gigs in the late 70's/early 80's. Whodathought that then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panamonte Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 In October 2013 I got the other three members of a band I was in back in the 80s together for a one-off gig in Berlin. We'd last played live together in 1989. Everything slid back into place surprisingly easily, considering we hadn't played these songs for nearly 25 years - one rehearsal 3 weeks before the gig and then another on the day. Hugely enjoyable.

chris_b Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My school band, a 7 piece soul/blues band, predating the Blues Brothers by many years, had a 30 years get together and that was rather long time ago! Several of us went pro and most of us are still playing. Funnily enough the tensions that were the cause of the original split are still there. I think we deal with it better these days. We arranged another gig for last year but health problems cancelled that. Maybe this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you! *[size=2]Jokes about Ralgex, Wincarnis and Steradent are very welcome.[/size] [/quote] Don't know if this counts but I got back together with our singer from 1974, a few years back (over 30 years later) and rehearsed in a building around 20 metres from where we were in '74. My advice - Go for it, it my case it was a blast for over 4 years! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The last time I heard shirt collars called that was the late 70's. I can even see them in my head. Wow, nostalgia central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
