Progress Report Of A 2005 Songstuff.commer - Catch Him In Quebec Or London

[Nick]

When my son started playing he used to post his instrumental tunes here and people used to comment - (example: http://www.soundlift.com/band/music.php?song_id=208731) and be supportive and positive (not sure about the mad father comments though they may be right - and he'll kill me for posting that)

So I thought I'd return and give you a wee progress report because there was a post I read earlier of 'does anyone know anyone' / 'is there any hope out there' / etc etc

Zander went off to college to play guitar and is on track to get his degree next year but still gets the chance to support bands like Malefice, have an EP produced by Justin Hill (ex Sikth) and last night won a competition with his band that will take them to play in Quebec - http://www.envoletmacadam.com/en/planetrox/canada-est/

Hi John - glad the site is well

Still trying to sneak a little local gig when he visits in a few weeks

Hi Nick!

Good to see you on Songstuff, and great to see Zander is doing so well.

I'll add that vid to the Songstuff channel.

Are you still playing in a band and making music?

Cheers

John

I haven't played in a band for the last couple of years which I miss.

I love playing in decent sessions when people let me and am currently working on a thing with Alistair for a charity thing he is doing.

Sing in singarounds and the odd open mic which sometimes work well but that is the limit.

Was up in Arran not so long back and had the most fun I'd had for probably 4 years.

Summer day.

Beautiful view.

Nice harmonies.

Smiles.

As it happened with no practice - usual stuff for me and pinching the best songs in life because I can't write

The first I love because I love the song even though everything went wrong

The second I think Nickey's harmonies towards the end are lovely

The last one is just fun

End of the year we'll do it again together.

I feel a huge pressure to write. If I do you'll be the first to hear
