[BigMartin]

OK, I'll bite: why 5 waistcoats for a quartet?

Oi that was my question too.

Also wondering about the name?

 

[MandyH]

We're probably going with The FourTunes, but we haven't really had a discussion yet - far too busy playing, and giggling :-o
And 5 waistcoats because we have a musical director-cum-player of all 4 instruments, so she is our universal sub!

Does that mean she plays on your underwater gigs?

Sax and scuba gear ))

 

[MandyH]

The essential 4 are now completed, just the sub to go....

when the battery is charged on my camera (!?), I'll take some photos for you; or maybe we can get some on Saturday when we get our first public outing :welldone

And we went with the FourTunes.... although a text exchange at the weekend accidentally described us as the FourSomes, which had my 14 yo son in histerics ))

 

[old git]

Slay them on Saturday, Mandy.

 

[Chris Jones]

Good Luck for Saturday..knock em dead.
