Johnm93 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Took a major step on Monday at an open mic night in Bromley. Drummer, keyboard / vocals and me, doing originals. First time I ever played live, so I was glad we had time to rehearse on Sunday. Bashed out three numbers in what felt like 2 minutes, but was actually 18. Now we are booked in as first support back at the same venue on 13th Feb. Daunting.... Quote
Mudpup Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Great stuff! Not as hard as it seems is it once you're up there.... Quote
ezbass Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Brilliant! Ultimately this is what learning to play an instrument us all about - performance. Quote
inthedoghouse Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Excellent - it's in your blood for life now :-) Quote
Johnm93 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 [quote name='Drax' timestamp='1422464827' post='2673043'] Great stuff - what tunes did you do? [/quote] All originals, Drax. Lexy, the key board / singist, writes songs. Lots of them. All the other acts were doing covers.... Quote
ratman Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It's always nice to hear about somebody's first gig. Welcome to the club Quote
ubit Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Well done mate, it's all downhill from here Quote
JTUK Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It is all about getting out there and doing it, AFAIAC... Good job... Quote
Johnm93 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Cheers all. Rehearsing tomorrow for the next appearance. Apparently we need 8 songs sorted for a 30 minute set, but might not play them all. Kind of 'over preparing' it... Gulp... Quote
