Playing the saxophone Becoming A Theatre Tribute Show

[mizmar]

Have you heard it? Do you even know what it is? I haven't,

Me neither.
but I'd assumed that's because I'm old, don't hang around in student union bars, sticky floored nightclubs, etc.
Age aside, popular music was always fragmented by subculture, age, class etc. and I'd guess that's got worse with more media possibilities.

Is fish a clue?

Marillion?

Or Country Joe?

The Spandau tribute is shown in your photo gallery, and discussed in your posts here, but other work is obscure... Unless the picture of you and harp points to Clannad or Chieftains tributes?

The harp was actually a busker in Dinan, France. He asked if I wanted to have a go. Couldn't really say no.

I've just updated my site and removed a number of images, so visually unexciting shots such as from the Burt Bacharach show, have been removed. I think in the 8 years since I started doing this I've played in 7 tribute shows, a couple of tribute/genre bands/events bands and mixed a few more as a sound engineer.

Many of those were mentioned on here in one way or another at some point - from the very first one, a Pink Floyd tribute, to the Spandau and 80's shows that went under a few weeks ago and the Springsteen show I started playing in a few months ago.

Oh, well, there you go

The Spandau is no more and now Springsteen is on the go... Interesting to know

With Gareth?

With Gareth?

I don't think I've ever played with a Gareth. There's definitely no one of that name involved in the Springsteen band as far as I know.

Ah. A friend of mine from the Illegal Eagles set up a Springsteen show about 3 years ago.
