Playing an instrument

[Ray. 217]

This is self explanatory. Can anyone play a musical instrument and how far did you get with grades and do you still play now?

I'll start of

I can play the piano and got up to Grade 8 and I only really play now and again when I get time.

I did start the flute, bud didn't get very far.

[Steve 10,227]

I used to play electric guitar, umm buying a drum kit soon.

I can play the flute , not classically though. I used to be band captain of my local band (Marching band) a few years back. I started when I was 12 and played until I was 25. Best years of my life.

Here they are in action at a "Battle of the Bands" earlier in the year....

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I play bass guitar, rhythm guitar, drums, keyboards/piano/synthesisers... and the clarinet... all at the same time as well.

[Kez 2,727]

I used to play drums but sold them

[Ray. 217]

If we got some Drums for Kez we could get a little band going and do a gig before a game, we'd have to get blind drunk first of course. We'd need a good name for the band, any ideas?

I play guitar, I'm self taught and have been playing just over a year.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Kez on drums, Shed Head on guitar, Raymond as the pianist/keyboardist, I'll play bass... could do with a second guitarist and a singer

I thought you could play both Lead and Rythm guitar at the same time?

[Kez 2,727]

Yeah Alex we don't need anyone else

Always thought you were a bit of a plucker

[Steve 10,227]

Considering i was left out of guitar place, ill take the triangle!!

[Kez 2,727]

Good stuff Stevo there's always place for a triangle player

I see this is coming along well. Steveo the triangle is a very important player and will be vital to the band. We could do with someone playing vibes and general percussion, which means someone to bash a few pots and pans and we'll virtually have a rhythm section. Alex I don't want to miss you out, what's your singing voice like? Now you can't let us down.....and also what about our name we've got to have name. I think Blue or Chelsea has obviously got to feature.....Come on of you is surely creative......I'm relying on you :blue scalf:

Apologies for not posting yesterday, out all day at work and all night partying (i'm a real party animal) and some people have such a hard life...... No, I was at the Proms again and didn't get back till quite late.

Dont worry about everyone else, i can be and triangular singer, so playing triangle and singing at the same time, and trust me the reaction i get from people when i sing in my car is to die for. God somebody get me a god damn medal!!

Oh and ray you party animal you haha

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Well if you guys like, I can take a solo slot during the show and play a few acoustic songs whilst playing bass, drums and singing at the same time

My singing voice is a lot like Noel Gallagher's, which is why I like Oasis so much

[Steve 10,227]

my voice is like scratching a plate with a knife, who would u prefer me or alex?
