Joe's Band (the band I play bass in) videos on youtube!!!

[H3WMW]

Hi folks,

Some of you may or may not know that I play bass guitar in a rock covers band in Fife, Scotland called "Joe's Band".

The band itself has been in existence for nearly 20 years but I personally have only been with the band nearly 6 years.

We are a very busy band, playing gigs most weekends of the year to packed (and sometimes not so packed) pubs, function halls, garden parties etc.

I am very proud to be in the band as we have a great reputation on our home turf and it is nice when I'm shopping in Asda or Tesco and people recognise me and come up for a chat.

Nearly 3 years ago, on Saturday 9th September 2006, Joe's Band played a one-off gig at the famous Limelight Club in Crewe, Cheshire as part of the Rush convention of 2006 called "Rush EuCon" (Rush European Convention).  We played in support of the Rush tribute band called "Counterparts" who did a fantastic job playing those Rush choons.  Our very own Frost* frontman, Declan Burke, along with his "The Spirit Of Rush" bandmates Steve Kightley and Tim Churchman were originally cordially invited to be the Rush tribute band for the day but sadly it was not to be as a few months earlier, the band went their separate ways.  Dec then concentrated fully on Darwin's Radio and as you all know....... FROST* of course.

Anyhoo, 2 of my Rush buddies (called BaldiePete and Gebs) recorded Joe's Band's whole set which lasted 90 mins with 2 cameras set up at either side of the Limelight stage.  Two of the 19 songs we performed were added to youtube shortly after the Limelight gig and have both received over 3000 hits each.  Quite an achievement I would say.

Now, after such a long time coming, I have now converted the DVD files onto my PC and split the tracks so that the remaining 17 songs can also be viewed on youtube.  

To view the videos, please go to youtube and put in the search banner......

Most of the songs we played are classic rock floor-fillers.  We cover such great bands as Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, The Who, AC/DC and Van Halen.  I really hope that you guys and gals can spare a moment to watch some of the videos (if not all) and please feel free to rate the videos and/or leave a comment, however short.  I would be ever so grateful and would be much appreciated.

Enjoy watching "JOE'S BAND"!!!

Willie.
