Helluva story Graham.....good luck with that. But don't forget. Even though the music industry has changed almost beyond recognition, there are still people who climb over their dead mother to stiff you! Keep you wits about you, and enjoy the…

Very inspirational!
The music industry is being redefined and with an ageing population it makes sense for older musicians to break the mould and challenge the mainstream.
@Graham make sure you post links to the videos

What are the chances?! 2 bass players in the midlands called 'Phil White'
COOL!
Working shifts, and playing in a band.
Is there anyone out there who manages to juggle crazy shifts, and playing in a band? I work 4 on 4 off, and get 3 clear weekends out of 8. How can I do this? I really want to join or form a band playing heavy rock covers. But balancing work, home-life, and fun could prove tricky. Any help would be welcome.
