The Bear 18.11.00. +Dawn joins the band
Second gig and new addition!!!
We were joined by our first female member
on 12th November 2000.
Dawn O'Brien came into our rehersal with a see how things work out
agreement. She bashed away on various percussive instruments and it didn't
sound bad at all ! She has previously worked with Steve on Messerschmidt
Twins recordings.
So , cometh the hour and we all ventured
off to The Bear for our second gig this year (as you can see gigs are a rarity
!!!) on Saturday 18th November. It was another acoustic night and we supported
Paul's other band ANORAKULA who gave us a fine acoustic covers set. The
audience was about 100, not bad at all. We were a bit nervous but
were well recieved , and Dawn fitted in with our sound very
well.
Some positive comments
were passed on after our set and I think that encouraged us all !.
| Here's the set
list: Hungry For Your Love Ain't No Sunshine Strange Love Falling Down Because The Night. |
The band: Mark Winters (vocals, rhythm
guitar) Warwick Gastinger (guitar) Paul Miller (viola and Millertronics) Steve Elliott (bass) Dawn O'Brien (percussion) |
The search for
BRYAN ADAMS.
Oh yes, after a
bit of research I found and e-mailed Bryan Adams' management, Bruce Allen Talent of
Canada, for an address to send "Strange Love" to him . I did get a reply but
they would not supply an address and said "Bryan writes all his own songs" ,
which is only partially true. These days he works with other writers so why
didn't they at least give me a chance?. I don't know. But once again it shows
that the world of established acts is a very hard one to break
into.
