Paul Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 So I was thinking after the rally about next years one. How about getting a band together to play a few songs. Idea is get some interest on here, see who can play what, so looking for a bass player, guitarist (rhythm or lead.), keyboard, sax etc. I can drum and for the vocals I was thinking of whoever wants to sing can get up and sing with the band (like a 'live' karaoke). Thinking of around 7 tracks to cover which can be suggested here and decided on between us. For practise we can do this at home and meet up the night before the rally to go through the set for real. Vicky's son Jack has a band so maybe they could do a set first then our band have a go later, this means all the gear will be there with them. This is not intended to replace the Karaoke, I was thinking this could be done the night after (or before) to go with the disco.So, if you can play and plan on attending next years rally then stick your name down here what you can play and maybe suggest a few tracks for on the night.This has been ok'd with Vicki so there is no problem there.Over to you guys, what can you play and suggestions for songs.I'll start, add your name to the list.DP - Drummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bex Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 i would love to volunteer and i think its a great idea but you can get stuffed if you think i am staying sober long enough to play my keyboard, plus i wouldn't be able to get it on my bike lol. i sing badly but if there are not enough volunteers for that i will do it, may be me n roy can do Paradise by the dashboard light again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Jethro Tull - Too old to rock and roll - see lyrics in signature.Bob can play guitar (I can a bit but I'm rubbish!) but transport on bikes a bit difficult - guitars are a bit of a personal thing so I'm not too sure about playing someone else's (unless it was a Les Paul Gold top, Custom Strat etc... ) - OK, could work!!!I can sing if that's any use.

Susieque Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 If Rennie & I managed to get lots of practise done (and I mean LOTS! ), and the songs weren't too tricky you could have yourselves bass and acoustic guitar players - of a fashion!!

Tango Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Where there's a will...... Getting the guitar, amp and pedals up there might be a bit of a struggle....but if we leave the tent behind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 If we're bringing disco/karaoke and lights etc anywayI suppose we could squeeze bass, lead and acoustic guitars in too!not sure I'm too keen on drunken rally goers using my guitars though TBH!

Guest Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Bloody good idea...logistical nightmare!!!I presume the rally will be at the same location? If so,is there a local music hire shop or would the pub know of a band?.....just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
