Live band...
Just thinking aloud here....

Anyone fancy having a band @ a Ceroc party night? Made up from Cerocers/staff?

I know I play, Lorna plays, Franck plays... there must be a few players of sorts good enough to do a one off party.

Obviously, we know the appropriate tempos, favourites, tracks to avoid, etc...

Would there be enough interest to get this idea off the ground?

Any thoughts? Is this thread in the right bit? Chit chat perhaps? Dunno.

Hadn't noticed this thread before, sorry. I'm ok with live music, so if you're good enough to play as a band, then fine, why not?

What I don't think would be sensible would be for you to set yourselves up to be something you're not (ie a regular on-the-road band). To have enough tracks rehearsed to play for a couple of hours would demand a lot of preparation time on your part, but maybe you could just do a few tracks as part of the evening?

Anyway, it's up to our esteemed party organisers, not me.

Hey, I'll join in. I'm great on the spoons.

Or a comb with a bit of paper.

I can even play the triangle....

It's not true.

I'm good with forks. But they won't let me have knives. Or pens. Or anything like that.....

I'm intrigued as to what name you'd give this band.

Given your and Franck's presence (and the whole Ceroc thing), I'd suggest The Combs

I have attended, a few years back, a Modern Jive dance held in a marqee with a live band made up mostly of Cerocers. Despite the temporary floor it was a very memorable and enjoyable experience.

I like going to jam sessions and pub gigs, although they come second to Ceroc in any contest. I would love to get live music back together with dancing. The bands draw mainly male audiences, and Ceroc mainly female. There could be a happy union. I have tried recruiting for each at the other, and so far drawn a 100% blank.

The one time I recognised a Ceroc Lady at a gig and asked her to dance, she refused. Shortly after her friend asked me. My big chance to impress my muso friends died instantly when I discovered that she was drunk. The calamity was exacerbated by the fact that the band went distinctly out of sync. It transpired that the lead guitarist was her boyfriend.

My dear big bird...

You know my thoughts on this matter!!!!!!!!!!!!

In summation, we have:

Lorna: piano, drums, voice
Tim: bass, gtr,
Me: gtr, bass, drums, voice
DR. F: gtr (anything else????)

So, 2 drums, 3 gtr, 2 bass, and 1 piano...

A 1 hr set, all cerocable, different set-ups, piece of cake...

Any other cerocers interested? Staff/crew get first shout...

Pah! You're so biased! What about us non-Ceroc, non "staff/crew" (whatever that means!) people?

Pah. I didn't want to be in your lousy band anyway.

Will you need girlies in the background in matching outfits doing shoop shoops and getting gratuitous cleavage shots on camera?

There will be TV cameras for such a momentous event won't there?
