I used to play bass too. I was in two bands, one was very very bad, the oher one just bad...



Now I have children and no time for playing anymore. But I still have the bass and a small practice amp, it even moved houses with me a few weeks ago. Maybe some day...

Not properly. I used to have a keyboard. I played Jingle Bells and The Mexican Hat Dance, that was my entire repertoire!

I played the trombone in school bands for nine years...it was fun.  Still have the 'bone but don't play it anymore, I should though...

You should continue to play. I only wish I could play properly. It is such a gift to have the talent to be able to play music. Use it and enjoy it.

Someday, Jules, I'll get back to playing...it would be nice.  It's currently being stored at my father's house three hours away from where I live (my mother's), but whenever I get my own place again I'll take 'er out.

I play guitar, keyboards and drum machine


Learnt to play from the original Rats songbook after finding a discarded guitar left in the piles of rubbish during the Winter of discontent (my Dad refused to buy me one).   But I got some strings, and developed very stong finger muscles in my left hand as the strings were quite far from the frets.  Having realised it wasn't just a whim, he got me a guitar and amp (I still have the amp, lovely old WEM with valves in it).  Even got a decent guitar now!


WEM Clubman

Hohner SE35 (mine is in Rosewood, but!)

Keyboards are bog standard Casio & a basic Yamaha drum machine.  Can't play either very well, just programme them
