Great story!

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1347634261' post='1803391'] I played in a band with a very young-looking 21 year old who wore round glasses. Me and the singer were in our 50s and pretty rough looking...we got a review saying it looked like the Stooges had kidnapped Harry Potter. [/quote] Genius reviewer

Great to see it again , huge thanks to ozmike

Cheers folks , well he is coming along to rehearsal next week , I have had a good chat with him and his mother on the phone and he seems very mature for his age and she sounds lovely , and said since he found out he was coming to the audition he hasn't stopped smiling ! Fingers crossed

We have recently been looking for a 2nd guitarist for the band and today had a call from a friend of mine and guitar tutor who I had given heads up if knew of anyone , well had a call from him today and says he has a chap in mind ( one of his students ) who is interested and he things would be great but he is only 15 ! We are a pub cover band ranging in ages from 21 to 45 , i have no problem with him being the age he is , hey eric clapton was 15 once ! just wondering if it would cause a problem playing in pubs etc ?

It's good to get a daily fix of Alex Jones (top bit of totty) and Carrie Grant is a very foxy cougar. Mr. Grant's a lucky guy cuddling up to her every night [/quote] Sorry read this as Aled Jones ( top bit of totty ) and was about to say he has let himself go a bit these days so not any longer!

As a chap born and bred just outside Dudley , very interesting

What a legend and just a lovely chap really

As above and when adding photos for such a vintage bass it's a good idea to post pics of pots and cavities as well as usual ones

Tell you what I have been playing for years and only get those moments every now and then , but know what you mean , feels so good , just wish it would happen more when playing live !

We are a gigging 4 piece covers band ( five when we get a new guitarist ) playing stuff like led zep , rhcp,cream , the who ,foo fighters etc looking for a 2nd guitarist , we gig on average once or twice a month. We are based in the liskeard area .

Cheers guys and thanks for all your help , got someone on the case now

I can remember playing a us air base on the Azores and no advertising had been done before we flew in, literally just the bar tender and us alone in this pretty big club ! We played and then next day went round the base handing ut flyers for another gig 2 days later , when we played this one it was packed and they wouldnt let us buy a drink all night also thy had a BBQ which started about 1.30 am! Needless to say it was a late night !

Cool , could you send me her details if you don't mind mate ?

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1346562144' post='1790542'] I strongly disagree. (Bob Dylan sometimes *chooses* not to sing, but he can) [/quote] A lot of people think morrisey can't sing , I strongly disagree , just listen to songs like back to the old house ,

Anyone had dealings with any good company's ? We need to design a logo first so are also looking for someone to do that .

I got a rv4 Ricky lookalike a while back , my particular one needed a good going over ,things like sharp edges on the fret wires, cheap toggle switch , other than that it was ok

[/quote] Maybe the shows that go on these days take a lot more funding , thinking of the Kyle monague thing where she had a whole water show thing going on on the stage , must of cost loadsto put on ! Saying that I do still think prices are too high

Off to see a green day tribute in a few weeks called green date..... That's it really !

Beth ditto seems to have done ok for herself , also my new fave band alabama shakes has a big boned bass player who IMO fits the bill a treat and Whitney the singer is not the too skinny either !

Bass players are a bit like cooks anyway, never trust a skinny one
