Band Blog

 

Hi to all music lovers! It’s time we had a blog  for those dedicated  enough to actually find our website  and use it. (www.dontshootmusic.co.uk)   I should start by introducing us – Don’t Shoot The Messenger – a band based in Sheffield. Check out the profiles on the website if you really want to know who we are and what we do, because this blog is intended for more day to day logging of what’s going on in Messengerland.

 It’s been a whole year since our first foray into publand – A wet November Sunday afternoon at a jam session in the Woodseats Hotel, where we did three numbers. We got a very positive response, enough to make us want more. Meanwhile, Mad Ali Lowe was arranging his wedding and honeymoon, which meant our first full gig would have to wait until January, when we hit the Sportsman on Barnsley Road and blitzed the place!! What a buzz! You can see reports of the rest of the year’s gigs on the website.

Wednesday night is usually rehearsal night down on Carlisle Street. It gets me through the week. I’m going to make sure the rest of the guys know about this blog so we can keep it running. Don’t think we’ll post any of the naughty stuff that bands get up to though………
