thepurpleblob Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 I don't want to overstate the age thing. It was mentioned to me as one issue. Last man in, first man out if it's not working I guess. I was a bit peeved yesterday but I just think it's funny today. You know what got me. After dragging to loads of rehearsals, spending hours learning songs, paying my share of the rehearsal money, making an effort etc etc, not one word of thanks. I don't expect much but it wouldn't hurt, would it? Young whippersnappers. Bring back National Service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krysbass Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I've just turned 48 (going on 21) and gigged only last night with my modern rock covers band. Got to say our music style isn't really my thing, but at least I'm playing and having major fun doing it. There are 5 of us in the band, 3 of whom are over 40 (me and the 2 git-tarrists). The (girl) drummer and vocalist are both in their 20's and it seems to work just fine - we have plenty of gigs booked. I've just added this to illustrate that age issues are only a problem to those with no vision - the music is what's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
