I remember playing out in the sticks at a local village pub several years ago, we played classic rock covers and always went down very well with the punters. At the time I think our fee was £200, when we finished playing our last set the punters were calling out for more, we obliged and played a couple of extra songs, after these they were still calling for more and specifically wanted us to play Black Dog again, the landlord said if we played it, he would pass a glass around. When we were packing away our gear, the landlord paid us our £200 plus the contents of the glass which amounted to £50, that’s the most we ever got paid for one song.

From the heading, I thought it was a Mustang car. I would pay that for the car, no way for a bass.

Depends on how large the glass is.

I understand Gaga getting dressed up, that’s the way she has always been. As far as the band, it’s a rehearsal, why the need to dress up.

Here’s the full song.

Definitely a good singer, let’s hope he turns up on Monday.

Someone who continually turns up at least 40 minutes late is taking the p*ss, the rest of the band should be having a word. Solution, book a rehearsal for 8pm but don’t tell the singer, let him/her think it’s booked for 7pm, see how they feel when they are first to arrive and sit around for at least 20 minutes before the rest of the band arrive.

Blimey mate, you are certainly trawling through some very odd and inconsiderate people.☹️

Pretty good cover, but the guitar lacks the total fluidity and feel of the original Allmans.

What, no updates. Thought there was another audition going on Thursday 17th.

There will be no shortage of cardboard boxes full of this stuff coming over in containers.🤔

Agree, boring stuff, the drummer has the best seat in the house. 🤓

This lady can.

If someone said to me at an audition, can you dance as well, my reply would be, I’m here to play bass, not audition for Strictly.

I can’t dance or play bass, so that’s me shagged.

I also liked the Rebecca Ferguson bit with Chic, that lady has a beautiful voice.

Leave It Alone by Living Colour.

For those of us who gig, we have this to look forward to.

Well impressed, quite a selection of musical genres as well. 👍

One off special tonight at 9.30 BBC4 - Peter Green Man of the World

Sadly this is the problem with the current situation and having to play outdoors, Winter will be looming fast and that will be that option closed.☹️

Can we get this thread back on track.

I was talking to our drummer on the phone last night and we were discussing this very same subject, there are a few gigs started in our area (outdoors) and he was pretty sure the bands were playing for free, we were both of the same opinion that our band will not be following that path.

I wonder if the bands are getting paid.
