paddy109 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I’m at the back with the drummer doing my thing (band thing) but secretly I would like to move forward a couple of steps and perhaps do some shouty backing vocals! Ths week at practice we tried my debut song that I wrote and it sounded ok - this might give me a little more confidence to at least move nearer a mic and take half a step forward 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I am the shouty man up front and center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the current band I write about 80% of the music which means I can get away with playing far too many notes. Not often you see a Wal completely overshadowed in a gig situation , but here it is sooo not the centre of attention.. Brilliant! 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Historically i've been accused of being the John Entwhistle of my bands. Play well but don't move about a lot. With my current band being a 70's Glam Rock covers band i'm finding i move about a lot more. Maybe its the outfits and platform boots that just give me a new personality Or maybe i'm just enjoying it more.Still need to work on the moves tho so i'm watching all the old Sweet vids .....again.

Newfoundfreedom Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'm like the Wizard of Oz. I'd be happier behind the curtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HengistPod Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We have a young lad singing, and he's still fairly static (have to keep kicking the ground around him to stop the roots taking hold), so it's up to me and the guitarist to move around, gurn/point at folk, and generally grab their attention by getting up front pulling shapes and nonsense like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) I wasn't sure for a while...I kept forgetting. I write 'bass' on the back of my hand now. It's not foolproof though - I've ended up in a fish shop before, which was a bit awkward. Edited March 25, 2019 by ahpook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
