Wines at Home Band

[Biggles]

Following on from JtFB's listening thread i got to thinking who would you have in your band if you could put them together. Alive or past musicians are welcome and would say that any backing singers you enrol should be there as eye candy not on vocal ability.

The Make up of the band is purely your choice, it does not have to have a Rock Band line up, playing what ever tracks you want. Suggest that we just list opening number for the set and the encore incase you get asked to play one.

I'll start off with

Lead Vocals Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Lead Guitar Mark Knopfler (Dire Straights)
Rythmn Guitar Gary Moore
Bass Guitar Mark King (Level 42)
Drums Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden)
Keyboards Phil Collins


Backing singers Amy Nuttall (Emmerdale)
Charley Webb (Emmerdale)
Roxanne Pallette (Emmerdale)



Think after listing the musicians i may have to enter a second band, there are to many greats out there just to have the one band.


Opening number would be Ready to Rock by the Michael Schenker Group.

Encore piece would have to be Whisky in the Jar, but the Metallica version, rather than the original Thin Lizzy one.

Ducks for cover

[NorthernWiner]

I played keyboards (synth, B3, piano) professionally for 13 years. Count me in.

Although it might be tough getting together for rehearsals.

[Duffbeer]

I played the triangle and the tambourine at school does that count.

[lockwood1956]

I played the triangle and the tambourine at school does that count.

You have to be able to count to play the triangle!

[rjb222]

Well I played at a lot of things when younger. Music wasn't one though could I join as a groupie or at least for moral support?

[Richard S]

The only thing I ever played was truant.

[Hippie]

OK first song is Bad Company - Can't Get Enough...

2 - 3 - 4 ...... !

try C, b minor, F, and a G now and then......

[medpretzel]

Ooh! Fun topic.

I don't know how useful I'd be for a band (I can't sing), but in my earlier years I played the following:

flute
piccolo
oboe
xylophone
dabbled a bit with the euphonium in the marching band
taught myself the keyboard
tried the clarinet
play now (only now and then) the MIDI clarinet (a C instrument, the only type I know how to read te music.... I winged the euphonium, but basically it was the "oom pah pah" part of the marching band)

I could be a back-up dancer, though.
