Keeping a band together is the whole trick - I don't like playing by myself nearly as much ;)

I know what you mean bro. A good few years back, I found that I was reliant on a band to play live, and it's not always easy keeping bands together as you know. I built up solo blues/bluesy sets so that I'm a self-reliant working musician, but I also have the pleasure of my band, who've been together over 10yrs now. I only play a small number of gigs with my band each year which is really cool, it fits in with other band members busy schedules and family lives, but if I relied on that for all of my live playing it would frustrate the f*ck out of me. I do love solo perfomances, but whenever I play with the band it always seems like a real treat.
Always worth seeking new musician to work and collaborate with though, no? Cool songs like this one.
I do get to work with some fine musicians, and I have so much fun learning their songs I rarely get around to showing them mine. Harry (keys guy) writes most of our openmic stuff, and it's like he never runs out of good material - I'm definitely cool with the way things are going ;)
