Pete Academy Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've had some personal problems lately. Because of these, I've been told to have a break from Nearly Dan. I'm gutted, of course. If anyone is thinking of going to see the band from now until January/February, I won't be on the gig. I'm not sure if I'll get the gig back, even though the band was originally my idea. 17 years and I've never missed a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 That is sad, Pete, but health and stuff comes first. 17 years is fab going and I take my hat off to any band that can go that long and stay fresh and viable. I hope it works out for you and you get the best result all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Can only add that I hope things sort themselves out for the best, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I can empathise,Pete, I'm having to take an enforced break from everything for medical reasons, (see my profile pic...) and it does ones head in. We will be back playing but prioritise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sorry to hear that (both Pete and Spike), I hope you're back playing soon. I'm now semi-retired from music for health reasons. Luckily my acoustic side-project will still have occasional gigs, and I should be up to occasional depping in the New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't think I'd ever last 17 years in the same band even if it was music I enjoyed doing. Now I'm too old to even contemplate it! Have a good break from it Pete, get out and do other stuff, play stuff you might not have otherwise done. Drop in at a few jam sessions, do some networking. Maybe pick up the odd dep gig. They will realise by Feb that they can't find anyone else that plays the lines quite like you do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
