I'd settle for everyone turning up to rehearsal regularly and being positive, with no egos. It doesn't seem that much, but it's difficult to achieve much of the time.
It's bad enough the guy turned up unprepared, but doing that when you've recommended him for the band is even crappier because it's thrown you under a bus as well. I hope he ain't expecting help in the future.
I love me a bit of Voyager. I've been a fan since I discovered them quite by chance about six years ago.
Don't think I'll be watching Eurovision though....
It wouldn't have done the job. 2 litres of water and an hour blasting the coastal footpaths made me feel more or less human again.
I think another few months of abstinence is on the cards...
Respect to all those who did their first gigs later in life. I remember being nervous enough as a teenager, when I was full of testosterone and rash decisions. Taking the plunge in my 40s or so would've been a bigger ask for me personally!
Just out of idle curiosity.
How old were you when you did your first gig? I mean a public venue or suchlike, not just in front of mum, dad, Uncle Dave and the cat.
