Thread Name: Your band/act/talents.
Subject: RE: Your band/act/talents.
I've always been able to sing, and discovered folk in my late teens. Learned enough guitar to accompany myself, and did quite a lot of gigs. Husband No 1 approved as long as I was making money. Didn't do much when I was a single parent with 2 young kids and a full time job, but taught guitar(3 chords) in a youth club. Husband No2 was tone deaf, and never understood what music was for!!!!! Started singing again 10 years ago, and met No 3.We played in a band called Dorian Grey...none of us looked our ages!! We mostly did Folk Rock. Jim plays Bass. Now we run a music night once a month, do the odd gig with Simon, who does blues. I like to sing slow ones, some acapella, some Steeleye Span and Fairport. I also do the noisy ones that the local people like. The Bass adds a wonderful dimension. I sing what I like, and can do a whole set when needed all by myself. Other skills... I can cook, maintain an organic garden, drive a narrowboat, craftwork? no problem. Thank goodness I now work part-time!!!!!!!!!! Hwyl, Bron.
