Guest posstot Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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? atb Mike Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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..

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

Guest Brian J Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
