So, I am starting to get a few gigs now so hopefully will be sooner rather than later. What about you? 1 Quote

It's been keeping me out of trouble since I came back to it. I'd had thirty years break after I quit the band in my early twenties. It's great when I get an opportunity to play ensemble but I am not looking to gig regularly. Good to hear you got your music. I enjoyed the film version of LSoH. Break legs as they say. Quote
ianrendall Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I’ve been pitting for 20+ years. It’s a great experience. Once you get known on the circuit, it’s wise to find a good dep as they in turn will return the favour. And always bring your own music stand light! Quote
Bilbo Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I love pit work but can rarely do the full sequence of shows so rarely get to do it nowadays. Quote

Thank you for the advice, where I’m from opportunities may be limited but I’ll make something work. What is your favourite show to work on? Quote

But my favourite musical shows I’ve done are probably West Side Story and Sweeny Todd. Quote

I must say WSS, along with Jesus Christ Superstar were my favourites to play. Both very different of course. 1 Quote

scalpy Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Spamalot is a laugh, I’m on that this week. Legally Blonde is a good one, Sunset Boulevard is a beast but WSS remains the best in class for many reasons. Quote
ianrendall Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 @lowdown @scalpy WSS was definitely a baptism of fire for me. I’d been playing bass less than 2 years and albeit I have been a reader and a good sightreader from day one thanks to my previous musical knowledge of church organ, ‘The Rumble’ gave me nightmares!

The thing about West side is although it is tricky, there’s not much in it that is stupid, because it’s arranged so beautifully. The Rumble certainly has some ‘corners’ (we never managed it the same every night!) but it’s clever. Let’s Have Lunch from Sunset is 10+ pages of bass concerto practically, key and time signatures changing constantly, all over the neck and just incessant. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oOMR6ecEPXI Quote
