The Commandments
Rhythm and Soul Band
Some facts about the band you may have or never heard:
80% of new band numbers are developed during sound checks10% developed during live performancesand the other 10% who knows??????. Rick once snuck off to the isle of wight festival to sell paratas to the occupants of devastation hill. Pete is brilliant at drawing cameos Chris is incredibly well travelled Francois is a wiz with methane, skilled at illuminating rooms, once scorched the bed sheets while rehearsing a special trick. The Bear is a classically trained musician Stella sings, plays alto and baritone sax, and whistle Tim is a multi-millionaire furniture magnate living in Paris Gary uses pipes as an analogy for demonstrating ohms and resistance? If the Bass is the stern, the voice the bows, guitar and keyboards Port and Starboard, the Brass section the mid ships, then Drums are the propeller and rudder, driving and directing Chris is well versed in alternative life styles, living in communes and living to a different drum, we like the rhythm he brings! The band has played pre-match warm ups on the pitch at football stadiums, most of the castles in the North East, hotels, bars and marquees, festivals, BBQ's and parties. The Great North Run, this year 1st October 2006, from 9.30am on at the lindisfarne roundabout below the A19, (see map) maybe a half marathon for the runners but its a marathon for us, we start playing when the elite runners come by and finish when the last stragglers pass, but seeing the spirits of the runners lift when they see and hear the band makes it well worth it.
