TWINKLE Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Do you think that there any homogoblins out there? I've heard about homopixies and homoelves - so I suppose there must be.'Night allxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 However, new UK Government legislation has decreed that all sufferers from low homogoblin are entitled to a free CD. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hiya Twinks!I seem to have missed a good offer last night! Damn! Flipping studying I was [:(] !.... So I can't ask for a free CD on account that I am not in the original 5 first posters but could I ask for a 1/2price one ?... Aren't I mean! [6] ?... C'm on between forum pals.... I LOVE jazz : Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Anita Day, Chloe Lane... last August at our little Summer Festival here Julie Dankworth came to sing. Nice voice and music overall but not a patch on her Mum's very colourful voice ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINKLE Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 My CD's ARE NOT for sale. I'm recording one to send to festivals to promote my band. However I thought I might create my own website complete with photos and sound extracts. I could then put the link on here - do you think I would be allowed to that?

Chris Head Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Why not Twinks? I think you should start posting your gig dates and venues as well, if not let me know and I'll put them up as a third party reccommendation, Gay's away so we can get away with it....right?

Missy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 [quote user="Chris Head"]Why not Twinks? I think you should start posting your gig dates and venues as well, ......[/quote]Yeah! We need gig dates and venues, that we can have some 'amusement' when we are next in France.... Unless you come over this way sometime.... Maybe the Mods would consider a forum entirely dedicated to : What's on in your region?... with postings which accept no reply...

TWINKLE Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I've decided that it could be fun if I shared some of the things that have happened to me on my musical travels here in France. It'll be a sort of bedtime story for you if you're interested. I can't do it later 'cos' I'm treating myself to a night out on the town with two girlfriends.When I first came to France in 1989, it was to tour with a french progressive rock band as a backing vocalist. I knew the 6 guys already as they had spent 8 months in London (where I was working at the time) gigging a bit and writing material for a summer tour in France. I was so excited when they asked me to join the tour and even if it was a difficult dicision, I gave up a nice little job at TV-AM off I went. There was a trumpet and trombone player from London coming for part of the tour as well. I couldn't speak any more than quite bad school french but I was already romantically involved with the the bass player (he's now my husband) and he spoke very good english.Get to France - everyone's so happy to see them back home in their village and the tour starts. Loads of concerts on the med coast and inland as well. All is going well and then we go off for a whole week and will be 'on the road' so no coming back to the lovely home comforts of my adopted village.Now - as many of you will know, when you can't speak the lingo it is very frustrating and if you're with a group of 6 french guys (the brass players have by now gone back to London) then it can be very lonely. Anyway, I would just try and follow what as going on and more often than not would think that I underdstood what was being said and it would turn out to be something completely different. You do learn much quicker this way though however tiresome it can become.We do a gig and instead of staying the night I'm told that we will be driving on to the next gig venue which is a huge camping complexe in Arcachon. We arrive at about 4am and the boys start setting up the tents. I was thinking more 4 star hotel in the South of France scenario - but no - it wasn't like that as you will see in my other tales! I'm so tired I don't even get out of the truck and just roll into my sleeping bag when my tent has been pitched. After what seems to me about 10 minutes sleep (probably 'cos' that's all it was!) the sun is up and beating down on the canvas - I want to cry - but do I? No.It's 9.30am and I can hear some very strange noises outside my tent. I sit up - it's so b l o o d y hot, and I very slowly unzip the zipper......and come face to face with a laama!!! Without knowing (it was very dark when we arrived and we were tired) the boys had set up camp in the middle of a visiting circus[:-))]. There were donkeys and goats and circus people milling around our tents going about their buisiness as if we weren't even there!More later[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
