Any Musicians Out There

[Guest posstot]

Hello all, just a thought..i used to be quite handy,(even if i do say so myself)on the drums. I'd put my favourite tunes on the stereo and play along...learning tracks like LANDSLIDE, I FEEL GOOD ALL OVER, LOVE RUNS OUT, ONLY YOUR LOVE CAN SAVE ME, PARIS BLUES, TO NAME BUT A FEW.... I've not had a kit for long while now, but with practice i feel it wouldn't be long before i got myself back on track.....does anybody else play an instrument well enough to have a bit of a jam session , as it were. "Trying" there hand at actually playing some 60's soul RnB type stuff for a bit of a giggle. I know of a little room for a session, with a kit and is cheap to hire for an hour or two...one evening a week?

i can't read music..and don't want to upset anybodies already "established" bands, was just wondering if anybody within a reasonable radius of the Warrington area would be interested......in trying a session out?

Hi mate

I live in Manchester and could be up for a little workout if you need some vocals..Was the lead singer in a band a few years ago and always looking to shoot my big gob off some more ... Would have to find the right tunes though, i have been looking to do a project for a good while and plenty great tunes to take on....

Maybe a booking at Cleethorpes or Prestatyn in the near future..

Send me a pm mate...

[Little-stevie]

Thanks for reply and good to see that you have the Roy Hamilton voice .. You can't go far wrong there... All the best and drop us all a soundfile when you have the album out

Nice thought this, I play the Guitar and my son plays the Base Guitar, but alas time and distance will keep us apart. Best of luck with your venture.

I was in a band for 12 years till last year when we split up, in our early years we covered Sam Dees - lonely for you baby, small faces, yardbirds, pretty things ect.

I was the drummer in a band called Real crazy apartment, there are two home made videos in youtube.

I play a bit of bass, but have not touched it for years and i know a few chords on the keyboard as well.

also have a full PA for hire for band and soul nights.

Not to sure about playing in a band at the mo thou

Wrong area again. If you'd care to move to the general area between Bumigam and Lannun I'd be into it, my band's having another haitus at the moment...

I think it would be more a tinkle on the ivorys' than a band as such....play a few tracks seee if we can copy the track,just a general jam session .for the crack!!! By the way..Pete..are you a lord or an earl....or have you won the lottery....p.a's expensive records scooters web sites.....the fook of earl!! or what?

will look on you tube to see the band lookin foorward to it!!!

I used to play tenor sax in a band for about 7 years, about 8 years ago.

We covered Atlantic and Stax stuff as well as a couple of Al Green and Van Morrison numbers.

The only real 'Northern' tunes we covered were Nolan Porter - If I Could Only Be Sure

and I'm A Big Man - Big Daddy Rogers.

Although just before we split, we'd started rehearsing Willie Mitchell - That Driving Beat.

Hey up Ian and thanks mate!

You saw us at our early stage.

We had 2 other singers since then

and did get considerably better, (which is only to be expected of course).

It's just a pity our last singer decided he could make more money at karaoke!

Needless to say he wasn't a 'proper' soulie.
