Nately, a London-based 66% Old Blue rock band, are looking for a new lead guitarist. We have our own fully-equipped studio where we rehearse a couple of times a week, plenty of gigs lined up and a healthy recording budget thanks to a stroke of luck at Cheltenham last week. If you can play, and like what you hear at
http://music.nately.net, please PM me or email
alex@nately.net. Thanks.

Have you lost another member or are you augmenting your sound?

Bit of both really. We've done a few gigs as a three-piece with Niall manfully coping with rhythm/lead guitar and vocals, but we always sounded better with Will on lead. However, he has finally admitted that living in Bath and rehearsing/gigging in London isn't very practical.

Well good luck - I'm afraid my guitar skills are poor to the point of only knowing an E major chord!

I know D7 (and can move it up a semi-tone - sounds very spanish - what's that chord then?) but that's my limit....

If you and GP played the one guitar together youv'e now got two chords. How many more to go?

You only really need three anyway! Well, it worked for The Ramones.....

AKAP has a good point. If anyone knows the A chord and doesn't mind getting very close to Julian and GP, we could be on to something...

Good luck to you from the former bass and occasional rhythm guitar player of such CH supergroups as Jinx and Uncle Harry's Last Freakout. Last gig behind the theatre, Summer 1984 (I think!). Gene Simmons and his Rock School could have taught us NOTHING!
But we would have been a better band if our drummer hadn't had the habit of downing a bottle of vodka before every gig. Madman. He went on to become a GP, I think...
Our guitarist, Paul Scanlan went on to rock god success with the band Creaming Jesus and others. They were pretty good, actually!

I remember it well wasn't there a band called Technicolour Yawn too around that time.

I miss the days of hearing about them being condemend by various bishops, priests etc. They had an album with the title 'To fat to Run too stupid to hide'.

Yep - that's them. Another nice title: "Nailed up for Nothing".
Technicolor Yawn featured Charlie Hazlewood, now top classical music bloke, often on TV/radio.

I know, every time i see an article about him i remember them doing a gig in chapel during a service! Good old Rev Porteous and his liberal ways!

Aye - Rev Porteous was a bit of a hero of mine. A very fine man.
