First video mashup - Poison Whiskey


For those who already don't know I recorded all the performances at yesterdays fundraiser at the Hindley Arms. Any band who would like a copy of their full set just let me know and I will put it on a dvd and get it to you.

I plan on preparing some edited highlights for Dee and Dave (which will undoubtedly feature many of Dee's announcements to "go and see Dave" and several more of her apparent despair at certain people repeatedly winning in the raffle and allegations of a certain winner seeking illicit liaisons with the singer in one the bands) but for now have entertained myself creating a mashup of Poison Whiskey's debut set. So here it is….



Whilst watching this (or otherwise) please ponder the following conundrums which have worried me since yesterday (mentioning no names…..you know who you all are…)

1. What is is about musicians which makes them feel compelled to adorn comedy headwear and/or gloves when performing in the height of summer. I didn't think it was that cold myself.

2. Do some musicians choose their sets according to the extent to which certain songs will make their tattoo'd biceps bulge whilst going for that awkward bar chord?

3. Is it rock and roll to slip into a nice cardy after your band have performed?

4. Was there a prize on offer for wildest onstage pogoing and/or whirling dervishing?

5. What injury prevents a musician from playing with his band and requires him to wear a therapeutic armband which appeared to say "vagina" on it ?(I may have made a bit of that up)

6. Whose harmony in "The Band" caused the balloon to explode over his head?

7. Are spurs really necessary to intimidate your band to reform?

8. Why was the woman in pink so intent on remaining on stage throughout Tex's set?

9. Why does a big strapping bloke colour the strings on his guitar in? And perhaps if he'd chosen less girly colours one of them wouldn't have snapped in the first song (perhaps it felt it clashed with the A or the G string.

10. Is it rock and roll for your anarchistic band to be outfitted by George? (at Asda….not Uncle George, or any other George you might happen to know).

11. Aren't checked shirts a bit "Brokeback Mountain"?

That's all I can remember for now. There's bound to be other things keeping me awake tonight (besides tinnitus).

Yours,

Bewildered, of Near Burnley

12. Who uses a snotty hanky to handle their prized A customs. Get some gloves ffs. They're all the rage for drummers (and butlers). Apparently.

The 45's for one would love a copy and any other photos taken of us.

That balloon was funny, I wondered what the hell it was when it fell on mi head.

The nice cardy was a loaner from Hindley Dave as I couldn't get warm after repeatedly going outside in that wind for a ciggy.

Thanks Nicola,

Wick.

Yes please Nicola - could we have the full vid and the mash up - that is awesome (and you very thoughtfully cut all the mistakes out - you did well to get 9mins out of 45 PMSL!)

No problemo. I will prepare copies of everything requested.

@ Stu - I can hardly call your flip flops. I was wearing con's with shorts on which is right up there with jesus sandles and socks in my book.

@ Al - I admit it was a struggle to find 9 useable minutes but I used autotune to correct your harmonies, qubase to straighten your time keeping out and all the soft focus I could muster.....couldn't find any software to cure the dubious facial hair though.

@ Johnny Meerkat - I can sense your sarcasm....I could kill you with my brain you know....

@ Rick - I couldn't believe how quickly you went from headband to "sensible outer wear". Rock on!

No compensation required Dakota. If you feel compelled to give, donate it to the Parkinsons charity. Pay it Forward and all that.
