There's a special event coming up next month, and they were looking for local bands to perform at various venues in the area. I was asked if I fancied being involved and said yes.
So, now I'm in a band.
We've already been practicing for about 6 weeks and things seem to be going in the right direction. It's a big challenge, but I'm enjoying it a lot and we have already agreed to do another performance at Christmas.
It's also quite out of my comfort zone as I tend to listen to blues and mainstream rock music, and that's what I tend to practice at home on my guitar. But in this band we are going to be rocking some heavy metal. It's not something I thought I would enjoy, but I am.
Currently we are practicing 2 evenings a week to make sure we are ready for the event. I've got a couple of videos from one of our practice sessions, but they are a bit sloppy at the moment. I might post up something up when I feel that I've got it under my fingers better.
And I'm enjoying the post-practice pint at the pub over the road too!
I'll keep you posted with more details nearer the time.
Cheers,
Keith
