Raymondo Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 After leaving my band almost two years ago, due to my girlfriend moving to Edinburgh, (the band is based in Birmingham) I have not really played my bass at all. Out of the blue my old band got in touch a couple of weeks ago to see if I could fill in on three gigs. The members had ,during the last two years ,formed various acts and mixed members around three different bands and they needed a bass player to help out on three gigs in September/October. I couldn't play last Fridays gig as I was in Spain but last night I went to rehearsals in Brum and HAD A BLAST!!!! It went so well that the line up we had last night ,me,the old drummer,singer and lead guitarist,along with a second guitarist from one of the side projects have decided that we will be the permanent line up of Delta ,the main band. First gig ....September 27th at The White Horse in Harborne,Birmingham......everyone welcome. Come see a very pleased Raymondo get back to doing his thing Warning...it's rock covers..corny old tunes like Born to be wild ,Breaking the law and Paranoid WILL be played Quote
Marc S Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 You must have a good memory, to remember all the basslines I'm amazed you have got straight back in, having not played for 2 years I know I'd forget the tunes lol Glad you're having a great time of it Sometimes, a break can make us appreciate what it is we actually have... Good luck with the upcoming gigs Quote
Weststarx Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Awesome story! I think its cool how these types of things can suddenly come back around. Quote
