The growth our little band of players in the village has seen over the last year is amazing. Gareth has set up his studio, and seems to be picking up new instruments on a weekly basis! He has also become the bedrock of our sessions, laying down bass lines, working out chords, watching sound levels... Guv'nor!
Dave is on fire as a writer. Last year, he brought along a few songs he'd written to an acoustic jam... they were brilliant. And it wasn't a fluke either, each song he comes up with is as good as the last. Even when some of them just come from jamming and letting a groove grow.
Malc is just lovely. He's happy to play anywhere, laying down great little licks of blues-inspired rock, which fit into the groove beautifully. Oh, there are plenty of tricks that this old dog is learning!
And me? I'm happy strumming along on the uke, or adding a bit more depth with harmonica. My playing has come on in leaps and bounds over the last year, even getting the lead riff to 'Billie Jean' nailed last night, which was great fun to run through.
Onwards and upwards, smiling all the time!
