KevB Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 If this kicks off another 'professional' v 'hobby' band thread I think my brain will implode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all an acoustic guitar isn't a proper guitar either ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbandit599 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hadn't spotted the two basses, well that means one of my bands can enter because we've got two! Should thin the entrants down a bit, just as well, because we definitely aren't the best at anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Arse. "All Band Members must be residents of the United Kingdom" and "No Band Member may be a musician as his/her main profession" That rules us out, then. That, and only having the one bass player of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 There needs to be an angle ....and best part time band thing isn't strong enough on its own. I wonder what they will use to spice it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Coincidentally, just (10 minutes ago) found this linked on a non-music forum. How very serendipitous. So - Battle of the Fat, Middle-Aged, Rubbish Dad Bands, then? We will very probably be up for that... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The BBC have a format that is sadly filling their schedules, be it bake-off, Strictly, dressmaking etc and this show will fall into that. Well get 'musical' non-entities like Edith Fecking Bowman acting as pseudo managers and it'll be all you-have-to-play-covers nonsense. Well, screw that.
