TShakazBlackRoots Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hey people. I went to an Irish Pub called Kelly's last night where some mates of mine play Jazz and Reggae every Tuesday. Just dropped off another friend (superb female singer) at another Irish Pub called O'Reilly's (don't ask...I'm not sure how many Irish live here ) My mate was playing an old Hohner BV 2 (headless 5er) which is about 12 years or so!! Many 'white' or expartriate pubs over here which has helped in the creation of many bands playing the Blues and Jazz. If the country remains politically stable, I'm sure musicianship (which is severly lacking over here) will improve. Remember I told you about my Smooth Jazz/Solo Bass project? Well, I'm talking to a new hotel chain about sponsoring the studio production of the album specially for their hotels all over East Africa!!! The only problem is, I may have to have the bass solos played by a guitarist... as Steve Lawson's and co of this world are non existent over here. Fingers crossed.....I may need some of you on this project! That's it for now, till the next time.

EddiePlaysBass Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 *LOL* You'll find 'O Reilly pubs everywhere, but I'm still amazed that they have even made it to the African continent Good luck with your project mate, may you succeed in what you pursue !

TShakazBlackRoots Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 There's another Irish Pub over here called 'BJ's'. However, I hear most of the Irish over here are missionaries, mainly in the Catholic Church. So who's drinking all that Guiness?

J.A. Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 It's nice to see you're able to post semi-frequently again. That hotel thing sounds like a pretty good gig, people might start to like hotel music. If I ever make it to Africa, I would love to hook up with some percussionists.

a boy named sue Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I'm currently looking for work in the South African platnum mines,FWIW...sure it is 3000km from you TSBRs but at least it is the same continent A man is not usually called upon to have an opinion of his own talents at all; he can very well go on improving them to the best of his ability without deciding on his own precise niche in the temple of Fame. -- C.S.Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
