Jez
from Damp Patch actually called me last night! He talked around the
houses for a while and then asked whether I still played bass guitar.
Of course, I haven't even got one, so I said, "What's all this about,
anyway?"
Then he came out with it that they've got a gig at
The Leadmill in Sheffield and the bass player, Jon, can't make it
because he's getting married which Benedict apparently forgot when the
offer (a substitution for another band) came through even though Damp
Patch was supposed to be at Jon's wedding. But a gig at The Leadmill is
not to be missed anyway, so did I think I could play in...
I don't kid myself I was his first choice, but, dammit, it's really
exciting to be asked. I said yes, but I'd need a bass guitar and some
rehearsals, which was obvious and here I go. Of course I haven't
completely forgotten how to play, because it's only a few years and I
still play my acoustic guitar sometimes.
