Looking to acquire a stand in drummer for a free gig this saturday for some friends who are leaving their Pub.....
no money , no budget, but lots of Kudos and i will owe people a MASSIVE favour.... (given my skill set and facilities, that's not an empty gesture... )
and there's free beer and food for the band..... but no budget.....
the ladies are leaving their pub after having spent a couple of years working 7 days a week , with no pay, and putting their savings in to it to bring it back from being a total [ ****** ]-hole to being a nice country village pub.... but after being shafted by the brewery on the refurb costs.... they're 25 grand out of pocket..... I've been close friends with one of them for 30 years.... and would like to give them a bit of a lift at their leaving do......
a most excellent set of friends are willing to do this, giving their time for free, and already play together as an existing band.... it's just the drummer that's missing.... as it's very short notice, and he had an existing commitment.... (i say just, but lets face it, that's quite an important thing...... drummers being rather more critical to these things than other musicians like to admit)
sadly, I'm not cash rich at present.... having been spending far too much on upgrades, maintenance and repair on studios, vehicles, and house, of late...... or i'd put my hand in my own pocket and hire at full rate....
I need to find someone to commit to this by tonight, or we're going to have to call it off.... (so the guys can commit to other things.... ) basically, everyone in my little black book is either working, or doesn't know enough (read... ANY... ) of the material to make any kind of serious stab at it , and no one wants to look a complete nonce....
it's not like anyone needs to know ALL the material..... just say a dozen of the POSSIBLE tracks ...... well enough to get away with it....
and we can maybe jam a bit as well....
i may even be allowed to join in.....
if i can find a decent stand in, willing and able to make this work,.... then we have a fun night out .....
the rest of the (extremely generous and rather good) band have an existing set list that includes the following....
all we need is someone who knows a dozen or more of these tracks.....
(same question is being fired off on other sites , but it is VERY short notice, and most of the pro's i know are already working..... and those few that aren't don;t know enough of the material as they tend to be "specialist niche market" types... rather than pub rock and blues types...
