turrifield Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 That's the best band name you've come with since "Cluck Cluck Jibber Jibber My Old Man's a Mushroom etc" My lord! Dats a blast fae da past. Was that a beanfeast band. Was I in it? Mind the "Carrot Shop" band? A certain keyboard player and the vocalist wore carrot earings at a roller disco 'gig' Dear me......

turrifield Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think I've been in a few of the worst but as far as I remember I had a good time no matter what the band was and even really poor bands are still often enjoyed by the audience. Westlife is one that springs to mind I know they're not from Shetland(thankfully) but I had the missfortue of having to watch them and they were poor, really just a huge karaoke and at one point they got a 14 year old girl from the audience to sing with them and she was as good as they were. So it's all relative. I've never been a fan of who's the best/worst, it tends to be very elitist. It'll be whos got the biggest instrument next.

peeriebryan Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 It'll be whos got the biggest instrument next.I've got a full size double bass. Beat that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrifield Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think drum kits are bigger and if they are sparkly even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Ah haa, I was expecting that! Drum kits are a collection of instruments. I could get all my basses together and make a big "bass kit", but then Foo could easily beat me with his south paw arsenal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinky Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Suppository were always great to see. That new band that played at baroc last 2 weeks ago, firesomething? Jamie duncan is on drums? They play all the hendrix classics and it sounded amazin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFly Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 That new band that played at baroc last 2 weeks ago, firesomething? Jamie duncan is on drums? Firebird. Jamie on drums, Duncan Phillips on guitar/vocals and Jonathan Ritch on bass. They are indeed very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bloody good line up! I reckon Jamie is a very under-rated drummer, possibly because it's his 2nd instrument (or at least what poeple think is his 2nd instrument) Duncan's songs are great and JR is a genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 They're excellent pb. I think they only play two or three original songs at the moment. They're one of the gutsiest rock bands I've seen in Shetland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessie Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 i think the best band ever to grace shetland was careless flow they were ace . At the end of the night there was always a big shout for more. i even still wear one of their t shirts must be a collectors item by now. I think the worst band was john kays from whalsays band(cant remember the name but they were crap) they played kergord marquee. i remember the crowd thowing tins at them and chucikng beer over them they were shouting some real death metal lyrics. can anyone remember mosbanks finest the urinal cubes?Ryan Arthurs band they were pish too.

Foo Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think the worst band was john kays from whalsays band(cant remember the name but they were crap) they played kergord marquee. i remember the crowd thowing tins at them and chucikng beer over them they were shouting some real death metal lyrics. That band was called G.O.B, The setlist was a bit of paronoid by black sabbath, A bit of anarchy in the U.K by the Sex Pistols and wild thing if I remember correctly, Ha Ha it was the only songs I could play on the guitar, don't remember "Death metal lyrics" though John was singing in broad whalsay acsent. I remember peeriebryan did the sound and quite politly turned it down and said our time was up , Also my brother broke McFlys drum sticks (he did buy a new pair but never got round to giving them to him) . All I can say is I am sorry, But we all got to start somewhere !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Also my brother broke McFlys drum sticks (he did buy a new pair but never got round to giving them to him) . Oh happy days. I remember that gig. I wasn't worried about the broken sticks Foo, but I do remember having to prevent your bro from leathering the batter head on my snare with the spiky broken end of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
