Happy Jack Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 "Must be committed" - there is more than one way to interpret that. "Label interest" - well we've all been reduced to reading the label at some point "Me and the singer write all the songs, but you'll be expected to make a creative contribution" "We all think we can really make this thing happen".

jezzaboy Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Another real advert I want to start a quo tribute band. Looking to start out playing pubs and then mabye touring in the future. I`m 16,age range 14-19. Whilst I admire his thinking, he may have a slight problem getting into the pub to play the gig. False beard anyone? Quote

Cameronj279 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1409360056' post='2539082'] Age immaterial always puts me off, smacks of desperate. Of course it matters. I wouldnt want to gig with 18 year olds any more than they would want me cramping their style. [size=4] [/size] [/quote] I'm 20 and I much prefer playing in bands with older memebers. find it's always much more professional and quite frankly I learn a lot more from playing with people with more experience.

False beard anyone? [/quote] When I was 17 I was auditioned ( failed) by a pub band which was actually named after the Local where they did most of their gigs. I would have been the oldest member by 2 years. That was in 1975 and they were all better musicians then than I am now. Quote
Lw. Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 The label or management interest ones make me laugh every time. Though as someone that's currently trawling gumtree for a new band, there seem to just be a never ending line of time wasters... Quote
