Any musicians here?

[limco]

Just wondering if any of my fellow tilers are musicians.
I played bass in a band in Scotland for 13 years, but now I just fiddle about with my 8 track recording studio at home, writing new songs and all that.
If I tell you this, please do not laugh ! Tam paton (Bay City Rollers) was our manager for a couple of years- but nothing really happened there!
Supported the Simple minds one time and had a record contact with a Glasgow record company............but we were sacked for drinking up all our tour money.
Those were the days eh!

I play guitar at a mediocre level. Though the guy that got me into it and showed me my first few songs is in a band called The Way and tours locally, has their albums on itunes and that. Gone a bit too punky for me though to be fair. I then got another guy into guitars and he too plays a million times better than me now and is a band and all that, not as big as The Way though.

Would like to learn the piano more but don't really have the time for it.

I used to go all the festivals too but don't have the time for that either these days.

I think I've asked this before and got a good response if I remember rightly, we have a few dabblers on here.

I play classical guitar, for my own pleasure....the job plays havoc with the nails though.

plenty of music fans limco,,,just check in on a friday/saturday night when we crack open the toonz threads. I don't play myself, but most of my mates are muso's, one has just entered a Gary Numan re-mix comp as he's got a new phantom synth he likes to compose on

This was me about 30 years ago.....while in the band.
Now I have no hair !

I play sax , flute and blues harmonica . I teach as well so you could say i'm a semi-professional . I'm working on getting my tiling skills up to a similar standard!

Davesaz, you give lessons, eh... bet it's nowhere near Scarborough though...?
I took two intense years of tenor saxophone lessons, practised for hours on end, wanted to be a second Barabara Thomson I saw play in London many moons ago, and my saxophone teacher was a guy called Pete Thomson, who also played the flute and the blues harmonica, so I got those, too, but never did much with them after I got pregnant and moving to a small Cornis village, where EVERYBODY could hear me practise! HOw embarassing... at a mediocre level of gitar, too, had many years practise as a teenager... but am not really talented enough to get past a certain level with any musical instrument... played the tenor sax in a reggae band in Finsbury park for a while, repetitive, non-demanding stuff...
