Topic: Early recording of the band I was in ...

My friend found an early (1990!!) recording of a band I was playing in:

Enjoy a 32 year old video!

Neo I guess that is you on the left hand side? You guys did a great cover of a very popular teenage anthem from my younger years.

Thanks for listening; no guitar lessons for me - I bought myself a guitar and learnt by jamming with some friends (I think Kev, playing bass, was also there), then was introduced to a band and two weeks later was playing my first gig with them. For this recording we had an old Boss drum machine on the floor, that I activated with my foot ...

Cheers

I had a listen to this the other night but didn't get a chance to comment on it neophytte.  I was very impressed with the guitar playing as well, you were showing up skills there.  Looks like you and your mates were having a blast together.

Thanks; I think we had the only musical act, but the whole video was a blast to make (from the older memory cells that are still surviving smile )
