Fun and games
Hello out there.
Last Saturday was a big day for the Arrhythmics - it was our first gig with our singer (or singist, as Chris would have it), Naomi.
And where would she be asked to prove herself - a quiet dinner? A tea dance? maybe a charity gig (cause let's be honest, that's quite likely). The answer is no, nix and nay. It was a rugby club dinner. So it was, a trial by fire.
So we set up at five and went for a meal as a band. We chose a vietnamese in the arcadian. Rob was quite excited when he noticed that Ho-Fun was on the menu and quite disappointed when he realised that it was a type of noodle.
The band returned to the venue at 9 and found the many guests sat there in the tux trousers, and wearing their bowties, but no shirts. Which was interesting.
The time came for the band to play and we rolled out a set featuring standard pieces such as green onions, peter gunn, nighttrain, tequila. We featured Naomi in 'cry me a river', 'son of a preacher man', 'fever' and our big finale - Maroon 5s' 'Harder to breathe'. This last song went down a treat and had the crowd singing along. Then the venue was shut due to drunken antics.
Its a first for us - inciting a crowd to a frenzy.
Still..we were good.
So what now?
We're going to continue expanding our vocal and instrumental sets and be gigging a lot more sooner. Keep your eyes on the site.
Keep swinging

A new year....
A new year, a new you.
Well not quite.
But the band has decided to make some exciting changes - we're going to get a vocalist (that's the posh word for singer). We have sorted out a few vocal arrangements and are currently sorting out a female vocalist to sing for us (and contemplating the logistics that go with that - PA, etc.).
We've also had some new original pieces on the go, so look out for them in our set. They got their first airing at the retirement do of the UBMS Dean, where we were booked to play a 'soft jazz' set. This upset some members of the band as soft roughly equates to quiet, and their amplifiers don't go below 11...
Only joking Rob.
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for upcoming gig type fun!!!
