I auditioned for a classic rock band last night..... And I GOT IT :dance:

 

I am now a bassist in a real life band :D

 

I haven't long started playing, but having played oboe/guitar in my younger days I progressed quite quickly, and both my teacher and a bass playing mentor thought I was ready for try outs :D

 

I had an absolutely awesome time at my audition, which turned into a full 3hr practice session where I even managed to jam along to songs I'd never heard before by getting the lead guitarist to yell chords at me :lol:

 

We are hoping to get on the road and do some charity gigs in the near future. Our lead singer is ex armed forces, served in Afganistan and lost 7 colleagues whilst on his last tour, and his son is currently serving, so the first gig is we are looking to do is to raise money for a local "help for heroes" type charity. We are even recording a charity single, with b side, so I'm going to be in the studio in a few weeks too :shock:

 

Can't wait to perform on stage again now :D the drummer asked if I'd be nervous, and I said that nerves show you care, but having previously played live to audiences of 2500/3000 people it wouldn't faze me.... Gosh I had an estimated audience of 3 million when I performed live on the telly in the UK, and an audience of tens of millions whilst on live telly in China on a classical tour!

 

Today I have been floating on a cloud of euphoria with aching fingers and tinnitus (sorted out proper musician earplugs for next weeks band practice!!)

Well done Debs, that's brilliant news. :clap:

 

You'll have to jam with Rosie, she's just taking her grade 8 on the electric guitar, playing a Metallica track.

 

Grade 8 is awesome :D Good luck to Rosie :D sounds like she needs a band :D

 

I reckon I'm probably around Grade 3/4 standard at the moment, be a while before my bass playing reaches those lofty heights :oops: but I can hold down a decent groove which is the most important thing :wink:

Congratulations! :dance: What is the name of the band?

 

We are called "Not a Jukebox" :D

 

How exciting but just remember, when buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio. If all the stations are rock and roll, there's a good chance the transmission is shot. :wink:

 

Shall keep that in mind Cloots :P:wink:
