gary mac Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Great showcase, certainly shows a good few variations/styles. Hope it does the trick for you. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Enjoyed that. Looks like you've had some great gigs. What was the one with the orchestra and X Factor fella, amongst others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Seem to recognise Ray Laidlaw in there from Lindisfarne Christmas Shows, many, many, many moons ago! Now who was that bald guitarist...? Some great gigs by you there and Newcastle City Hall still looks canny.

I am sure you'll pick up dep gigs which you can then sub out when the better selective gigs kick back in.. Sounds a good position to be in, methinks..?

Mykesbass Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Some great stuff showing a highly accomplished, versatile player - so why are you being so coy with contact details, with just a rather obscured facebook address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born under a bad sign Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Fantastic. Many could only dream of a musical CV like that. I'm sure it will get you the gigs you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I particularly like the way you cut from huge, showpiece gigs to pub rock ... really gives the sense that you're up for anything as long as it's a decent gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Urinates from a great height over my BandMix video clips. My favourite moment is the PRS-player's hair blowing in the breeze from about 4.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep - that's something I really wanted to try and get across. I've been told before that I wasn't considered for a gig once, 'cos they assumed I wouldn't be interested in playing in a pub... which couldn't be further from the truth. The occasional posh gigs are just the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
