Drax Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Rich name and shame. Help any other BC'ers who might fall foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Reading the resignation post, I have no doubt you did the right thing. I don't even understand what the keys was trying to do or say... and if he wants to play bass.... then they've found their bass player and at least you are well out of it.. Good key players should be able to find plenty to do without peeing all over the bass parts....and if they can't then they will have to take direction from the band... If this situation had cropped up in rehearsal I'd have said what on earth did he think he was he doing... and probably sounded your death warrant within that band... but you got there anyway..?? I suspect that e-mail was possibly a prelude to that scenario anyway..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny_Innie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 If you like the people, I'd stay and see if it can go somewhere. If you're not fussed about them as people, I'd do one as fast as I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Think you dodged a bullet there, Rich. You'd have a mountain to climb to make that work! But you now know enough to recognise a decent band when you finally come across one, so it hasn't been a total waste of time. Good luck.

Grangur Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for the great support, guys. The band masquerades under the name Then & Now. They're in Harlow, Essex. The keys is Pete and the guitar is Kev. After quitting I've also had the adventure of meeting up with a drummer; a balding, toothless, alice-band wearing 70 year old, transsexual called Jackie; but that's another story. Btw, I have no probs with being on stage with anyone who fits any of the above categories, but all at the same time? Now that's a step too far.

If she'd been slightly less bald AND a good drummer I could be telling you about a great venture on the move. I could even be asking you for tips on my choice of skirt length, but no such luck.

Grangur Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Wow! Thanks mate! I'll get out there in the sales Boxing day. How about a pair of DMs if I can't get diving boots? Black ones, naturally, with laces to match the tutu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
