Silverthorn

We’ve recently got all official (well I have anyway) - following the last gig where we got paid the awesome fee of £15 (the other bands also got paid despite the fact that only we brought any fans along), we decided we needed a treasurer to look after the cash.  Decided that Mike was probably the most responsible and trustworthy of the lot of us so he’s been lumbered with the task of looking after this vast wad of cash. As I’ve been doing the blog and keeping notes, I guess that makes me the secretary… So I typed up the things we agreed because otherwise you know what will happen - “I never agreed to that” or “that’s not what I said”. So thought you might like to see some extracts from the latest minutes…

Apologies

·        Ruth apologised for losing her voice half way through “I love Rock and Roll” at the last gig at the Primrose.

·        Adam apologised for not breaking a drumstick during the last gig and described this as being ‘wet’

·        Robb apologised for getting his first solo right which made him overly complacent for the rest of the gig

·        Mike apologised for playing the whole of “I love Rock and Roll” in the wrong key…

Issues discussed

… 4.      Clothing. Need to be a bit more colourful and 80s. Mike to get an appropriate shirt and rip his jeans in a more convincing manner.  Robb to get cowboy boots and hat. Ruth to look into 80’s rock women e.g. Lita Ford and see what they’re wearing for inspiration. Adam considering spandex.

5.      Transport. Disappointingly, Mike has refused to buy a Tour Bus or Van. Will have to take price of hiring a van into account when charging for gigs.

6.      General Nonsense. Adam is going to be in trouble with Val …

Anyway, have kept my end of the bargain and looked into what 80’s rock chicks were wearing. Mostly bustiers and boobs from what I can see. Looks like I’m investing in some push up bras…
