Happy Jack Posted August 30, 2014 Share 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 Share 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?

Cameronj279 Posted August 30, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
