..... I feel I can tell you this - I'm SCARED!!

 

I have to play guitar and sing this really difficult song on 8th March to an audience of about 400 people, most of whom are professional musicians/involved in the music industry/just know what they're talking about/are older than me (!), and I'm having nightmares about it. I haven't done this for 30 years would you believe, and I'M SCARED SHITLESS!! But not too scared to have a go. If I can pull this off I will feel SO good. If I screw up I'll just feel normal. What have I got to lose? Wish me luck everyone! Oh, and if you want a ticket, they're £10, and everyone else on the bill is just amazing ......

Wow good luck hun!!! I bet you'll be brilliant :D

It's a reunion concert of a very well known folk club from the 1970s - this is a 30 year+ reunion, and all the people who used to play there are invited. A lot of them have gone on to be well known recording artists/performers/music producers etc - like Al Stewart (those of you in the States might know of him), and Jasper Carrott and Fred Wedlock.

I'm playing a song called November 5th - my son wrote it and he's playing it with me. It's quite complex, more of a duet than a song, if you know what I mean. Heavy strumming and flat-picking. Not your usual 'two verses, a chorus, then a verse and a chorus' sort of thing!! It's quite out of my usual experience, that's why I'm finding it such a challenge.

 

Thank you all SO much!! I need all the luck I can get! If it goes well, I'll post the song somewhere .... !!

yayyyyyy :D

aww that's so sweet you doing the song your son wrote and doing a duet with him :blush:

I'm sure everyone will absolutely adore it!!! :D :P

dood! my mom was born on nov 5th!!

Fifi, I hope they'll like it - I adore it, of course, George is my hero!! :) Your avatar's hilarious, btw :lol: :lol: :lol: Mooning smiley ha ha ha :lol:

Kasia, no kidding! If she was a boy they'd have called her 'Guy' ....... well, they might have in the UK lol!

 

This song's a sad song though - it's about dumping someone you know is no good for you, and yet you still have feelings for them. :cry:

good luck, Victoria! :) :)

AWW you're so brave :cool:

 

GOOD LUCK!!

Once you get out there on stage the sheer buzz will blow all the nerves away :)

Good luck!!!!!!!! ;)

guy strugała LOL sounds cool :D
