You will probably have read something along these lines before I guess, but this is how things stand, and it's never been quite like this before for us. The three of us, myself, Jim & Geoff are now really getting to grips with being a three piece after several eminent (front) guitarists turned us down when asked to join to make a four - bit like filling the table at doms!
It really is now coming together, but it's been tough as I've never been the only guitarist in a band before, well once, but that was like a starter band, or like an aid a baby uses to walk for the first time and was palpaby terrible, but a necessary starting block. After that I was mainly the singer in bands until I picked up a guitar in the Cheesemakers and quietly went about my business to find my own personal high road and by-road. I think I'm there now so I'm confident about stepping out without a second sword at my side, kind of like the long swordsman (like most blokes!).
Not only have we been picking through all the old songs to see if we could do them, like a fussy eater picks out all the slightly smaller chips, but we have been furiously writing and several new ones ave risen to prominence amongst the Greatest Hits. You should be hearing them soon.
The hardest part will be finding promoters willing to pick up a band who haven't played for so long that their audience has either passed on or passed away!
So, we're still rattling on, when all our enemies are gone, we don't know when to give up, do we?
Also getting the hang of this blog lark...enjoying it
Gonna dig out more of these old pieces of memorabilia and stick em unto these posts, just for the bloody fun of it, see if it brings back any memories
More soon
