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).
