ShergoldSnickers Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1382955655' post='2258301'] Just don't forget ...... that you are checking them out as much as they are checking you out. Don't be afraid to back out if they look like a shambles, it will save you time in the long run. [/quote] Perhaps this should have been the advice Milty was offered on first joining BC. I certainly could have used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks for all the encouragement But I'm not in the band... yet I hope to hear from the guy soon though. I've been honest with him so he can make an informed decision without any surprises further down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) You should start your own band , Milty. You're young enough , you've got plenty of energy and lots of ideas . And being from Northern Ireland will help get you on Radio 1 . They love to go out of their way to be "minority regional" at every oppotunity , so take advantage. I fully expect next years Radio 1 Big Weekend to be held in cow shed on the Outer Hebrides while Radio 1 DJs wax lyricalk about how vital and vibrant the local music scene is and thousands of teenage music fans try and stave off hypothermia whilst raving to the latest and hippest bands . You could be playing bass in one of them . Edited October 31, 2013 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even took the stance of "genre preference doesn't matter" for a while, and that still didn't get any results. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
