When I worked with the HNC students at the start of the year, I managed to make a few acquaintances. Two of these acquaintances were a couple of bouncing bambinos known to most as Andrew Mcgowan and Kieran McGuire. Andrew and Kieran approached me and asked me if I would start a three piece band with them. They commented that they loved my energy and enthusiasm when I performed and thought I'd be suited for the type of band they wanted to form.
The three of us got together this week to share ideas on what kind of songs we wanted to write. I showed the boys some material I had written a few months back and within an hour we had four songs written and ready to be rehearsed. Working with Andy and Kieran is a breath of fresh air mainly because we get so much work done in so little time and have such a laugh doing it. I also really loved the fact that all our songs are composed equally, we all share a third of each song and we all put our own idea into each song. Also, working with them made me realise that when you work with other musicians who compliment your personality and music taste, composition flows a lot easier. However this may not be the case when working in the session world as I may be asked to work with people who may not compliment my personality or music taste and will have to learn to work well in both circumstances. Until then, I have 'This is an Outrage' to keep me sane for now.
