I was never that great with a piano, only ever made stuff up to fit into a track etc. Any way, I've just properly learned to play John Lennon - Imagine & Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger.

Check it :D

    I play trombone in the Uni's swing band. We play loads of stuff from Glenn Miller through to James Brown and Lady Marmalade. I dont have any recordings of us but I can try if anyone wants one.

    Currently on the look out for a jazz pianist. So if your near Lougborough and you can play piano...

    If the Mods will allow this heres our website:

    There's another guy on the same page who can do it so he can't be all that amazing.

    Ah yes Jerry C I believe he calls himself. That Canon thing is pretty good but not a patch on Dragonforce.

    I can now play Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Hallowed Be Thy Name by the clearly awesome Iron Maiden in full on guitar (except the solos - I prefer to do my own than learn other peoples'). I feel pretty good.

    I used to sing when i was at secondary. Nothing special, mostly show tunes. I might dabble if something comes up in uni. I wouldn't say I'm great because my range isn't very high but I have trained my voice before so daresay I could do it again if something came up.

    Ah yes.. Good fun songs to play, those. Phantom Of The Opera from their first album is another fun one I learned recently.
    I play some pretty mean Around The World (RHCPs) on me bass too, its not so hard really, but soo fun to play. :cool:
