the band's blogWelcome to the blog (that's an online journal, diary type thing for you technophobic, grumpy old gits). jan 09 | feb 09 | may 09 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 may newsThe boys are taking it in turns to write the blog and this month Darren, the inimitable Bass Meister himself, has put virtual pen to cyber paper... With a large and ever increasing gig list (much my wife's dismay) 2009 is fast becoming the best year so far for the boys of Guilty Plea. So far this year we've had some cracking gigs at places like The Black Horse in Sidmouth, The Prospect in Exeter and the New Quay Inn down in Teignmouth plus a many more. We're always open for new venues and have recently got a gig on Friday, 4 September in The Corner House, Crediton. And we know from experience that the Crediton posse are always up for a party. The 60th Birthday party bash we did at The Honiton Motel was a blast and together with a great crowd, who were well up for a bop of three, it was a fantastic night. thank you!A big thanks to Zoe, Neala and George who have travelled to see us on numerous occasions now and are getting quite a reputation for their style of having a good time. (Nothing to do with the drink you know... Well, possibly...) We're now past 65 tracks in our song list with several more in the making. There is the possibility [Threat? Ed.] of some original stuff if the gang think it's up to scratch, but being a bass player and therefore, by nature, of very little brain I couldn't possibly comment. We keep getting good comments about the variety of our set and I think that's what makes us different from a few bands, but to be honest, we just play the music that we all like. We've added some Queen, more Who and Status Quo and now have some Joe Jackson and ZZ Top coming on soon. gear and groupies - no, really!Mark's got some new toys including a lighter and some would say louder amp (all adds to the atmosphere, eh?) Mind you, I'm glad he's going for the lighter amps. Pete's had his locks cut and to be honest he's attracting far too much attention from the female members of the audience. Les is still attracting male fans, though… Only joking… It's just that the sheep are getting jealous. Baa! another thank you!A big thanks goes for our resident web monkey, JD, who had done the bizzo yet again in updating the website. Top Man! [Web Monkey is blushing. Bless!] Rumour has it he may be creating a new website, so all you lucky people can have a look at his amazing photographs. Stay tuned, it'll be worth it…Wow! Anyway, onwards and upwards. Stay close for details on new gigs and new equipment. february newsWe've added a bunch of new photos to the site to show you lovely people how much hard work goes into rehearsing and getting each number right before we play it live. Oh, and Mark has some lovely new toys — a thunderous (and slightly scary) Marshall amp, and a new Manson guitar. Lucky sod... And don't forget to come and see us! So, mosey on over to the gigs page to see where we'll be soing our thang next. january newsWell, that's another year done and dusted. Hope you all had a wonderful time over the Christmas and New Year period, especially those of you who went to our end of year bash. Hope we see you at one of our upcoming gigs! |
