UOPWB's first gigWE ROCK!!!!!!!!
Not too many fluff ups, good sized balanced band, nice sound, nice appreciative punters. And I didn't bugger up the arm waving!!!!!!!! All in all a good day. Photos to follow. Thankyou to GF and Apricot for playing too!
|

| Hornblower |
YAY!!!!!!
Let's see the piccies - NOW!!!! 
(Oh and well done too... ) BZ |

Why thank you Ms A, I actually impressed myself with my turn on 3rd clarinet today - I managed notes I'd never played before, across the break and everything!  Admittedly there were some shockers in there too but I wasn't too shabby for someone who's never had a clarinet lesson in her life 
|
||||
| Apricot |
You're welcome A. 
GF you were fab, as were you with your arm-waving A. 
Hopefully I'll be hidden in the photo's. 
|
||||
| Hornblower |
Hopefully - you won't!
|
||||
| bootybandy |
I prefer the Chalameau region of the Clarinet personally. |
||||
| Apricot |
me too!
|
||||
| Hornblower |
Where's the photos Apsx?
|
||||
| greenfairy |
A will have the photos HB, you'll have to see if you can get them from her before Apricot strikes and hides the evidence! | ||||
| Hornblower |
Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Thanks GF. A? Where are you girl? Let's have a look at the photos - please? (If I had eyelashes I'd flutter them!)
|
||||
| A |
I am waiting for the event organiser to send them to me! You'll see them as soon as poss HB, promise!
(And you can flutter your lashes at me any time!!!!! )
|
||||
| greenfairy |
You never say that to me A *pouts*
Mostly as when I flutter my eyelashes people think I'm having some sort of fit 
|
||||
| Apricot |
*says nothing as too busy waiting to strike and eliminate myself from the photographic evidence that I actually did a UoP gig*

Brisbane Road, E10? I think I've been there a couple of times....
Sorry, random comment I know but it caught my attention! |

| bootybandy |
As sexy as a Saxamaphonist.
|
||||
| Michael Thompson |
That's over the top, sax players can be quite un-sexy, although I have met a few that are but untouchable too. Some of them can be quite sad soooooo maybe as sad as a sax player.
There's always " As licky as a licorice stick player" |

|

You've certainly got class A.....

Drunk as a skunk.
(not me, I'm giving up drinking. Was gonna start today but Ants forced me in to having a pint at lunchtime.....) |
||||
| Astradyne |
Hmmm... I didn't see you putting up much of a struggle there! |
||||
| greenfairy |
That's partly why I really need to give up!
Was a lovely pint though, thanks Ants
|
||||
| ANTS |
you're welcome my dear.......well deserved after the saxamaphone playing at big band this morning... YOu mean to say you are also going to give up the good old Mr JD....
|
||||
| windypipes |
All I could hear was trumpets this morning!
And there was me playing along and nobody could hear..... 
|
||||
| RAB |
Playing with who..??? Obviously not you spolling teacher..
|
||||
| greenfairy |
Don't go being rash now. I'm just giving up beer. Don't need to give up JD as well - I've still half a bottle left from Christmas
|
||||
| bootybandy |
Well you're obviously not trying hard enough.. That half bottle should have disappered a long time ago. 
|
||||
| greenfairy |
It's cos I've been too distracted with drinking beer. And so by giving that up I can focus my attention back on the JD where it belongs - cunning plan I thought
|
||||
| ANTS |
A very cunning and good plan if I do say so myself......Mr JD would get lonely if you left him in the cupboard....
|
||||
| bootybandy |
Unless of course there's a half bottle of Billy Bacardi in there also....

|
||||
| greenfairy |
Result!! Me and Aps managed to avoid being in the piccies
|
||||
| A |
I deliberately missed yours out as I'm nice.
The picture of Apricot and GF will go to the highest bidder..... |
||||
| greenfairy |
Oooh, I just looked on Myspazz and saw the one of the three of us - it's a nice pic actually!
|
||||
| A |
Shall I put it up? | ||||
| Hornblower |
I think you should!!!
Go on... 
|
||||
| A |
*IMAGE REMOVED* | ||||
| Hornblower |
YAY!!!! 
It is a good piccie. Stand by for pressure from Apsx to take it down again though!!!
|
||||
| A |
I'm a proud girlie, we did really well, AND got three potential bookings from it. | ||||
| Hornblower |
Nice one A!
You do look happy in the pic - but what's going on with the hands?!
|
||||
| A |
Nervous fidgeting!!!!! | ||||
| Hornblower |
Know what you mean - it's OK when you're conducting, it's just when you stop!
|
||||
| A |
Oh completely! For the concert in May I'm not nervous about the conducting, but I will be getting someone else to do all the talking!!!!! | ||||
| greenfairy |
If only I could remember what the hell I was smirking at
|
||||
| Apricot |
hmmm, I look like I'd rather be somewhere else...can't remember but probably true or maybe I was just imagining the fish n' chips GF and I were gonna have straight after.
A you said you weren't going to put it up *sulking* |
||||
| A |
I was bullied into it! | ||||
| Apricot |
you don't have to give in to peer pressure | ||||
