After a 3 year hiatus, I've dusted off my bass (actually, "scraped the mould off" would be more accurate) & resumed playing with the old band after a surprise phonecall from Chris last week ("Allright mate? Want yer old job back?")
No longer the Brew Band, they're now called Billy in the Lowground (from a bluegrass tune), but apart from that it seems to be business as usual - a few of the old songs are still in there, but I've got a lot of practicing to do to get up to speed again. I think their old bass player is playing out the remaining gigs up to Christmas, after which I'll hopefully be fit to be seen in public...
