Just a little exercise to pass the time, do we have the means and personnel on here
to form one or both of the above ?

Or maybe a choir perhaps.

Obviously I play the cello.

We could get a drummer or maybe a trumpeter like the barmy army to play at the turf and help create a bit of atmosphere. A few clubs have a drummer in the crowd and it always sounds really good and improves the atmosphere

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 11:19 am**

If you get a drummer and trumpeter make sure they sit either side of you, couldn't think of anything worse. If all stands sang like Cfs we would have an atmosphere every game.

I play keyboard and guitar. Used to play drums too but there comes a time in every man's life when the drum kit has to go (sobs silently into a cushion........)

Huddersfield away in the 23 undefeated Championship winning season....

"If can't get a woman get a drum"

He even started drumming to the beat of the chant ... comedy gold.

But to be fair I wouldn't want the Drummer/Trumpeter any where near me ........... but if there was somewhere to house them (maybe on the top of the South East Corner stand)

I dont go on so that would be impossible. If anyone needs a drummer its the CFS to try and keep them in time. Having a 1000 Scatman John's responsible for creating the atmosphere isn't the ideal situation

Put them in the Bob Lord, those deaf old coots wouldn't notice them anyway

It never entered my head for a band on the matches, believe it or not. One of
those would drive me crazy.

What I was meaning, was a band to do gigs for charity or good causes - something of that ilk.

You leave us alone in The Bob Lord stand DA, we've had the best musical upbringing that will
probably never be repeated.

Askington Claret could be the conductor,he can play every instrument going. Top man..

I think you'll have a hell of a job getting some of this shower to sing from the same sheet, hymn or otherwise.

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 1:38 pm**

I could cover drums guitar or bass if needs be!

Our kid plays regularly pre-match in the marquee at accy. Was shown on football focus once which was pretty cool

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 1:46 pm**

Jesus ! For a min I thought this was suggesting a band at the Turf

While the CFS has gone off badly a band would be almost Brighton-esque or god forbid Leicester .

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 2:12 pm**

Alistair can play his bagpipes.

We have a band of Clarets at our house.

One daughter plays guitar/sings, another plays bass, youngest plays ukulele/sings and I play ukulele/cajon.

I've been thinking of getting a Cajon. Even looked at making one to pass some time.

There's quite a technique to it isn't there ?

What make and type/size do you have WID please ?

Cheers

I can (or should that say could) play the piano

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:40 pm**

I,ll bring my Kazoo

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:06 pm**

I can play guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, drums and a bit of keyboards - but don't ask me to sing!

Posted: **Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:13 pm**

I can offer vocals or trumpet

This could turn out to be "The Bonzo's" reborn.

I can play the piano, guitar and drums. Played the drums most recently but like another poster I had to knock that on the head (pun intended) when our child arrived.

I can produce whatever you are able to record.

Not promising the final product will be any good mind...

Posted: **Fri Apr 03, 2020 9:49 pm**

Bump

If we choose a key, and a tempo, and people record a few samples of themselves playing an instrument or singing, this is very doable.

C/Am and 120bpm keeps it simple...

Posted: **Fri Apr 03, 2020 9:53 pm**

Can’t wait to listen to the final product

Posted: **Fri Apr 03, 2020 10:28 pm**

Mandolin.

You could all download the free version of 'Protools' (Protools First) and set up a cloud share.

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2020 2:41 am**

Cheers Doug, just trying to find a way for people to be able to upload to a shared folder. We shouldn’t need that much space, but my google drive is nearly full and I’m not sure whether it is possible to allow other people to upload things to it.

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2020 2:53 am**

So here is a shared folder

If anyone posts a recording on this thread (you can upload using google drive, Dropbox etc and then sharing the link) I will add it to the folder, and once there are a few in there I can begin mixing!

Key ingredients are:

A beat (drums... or whatever else you can make percussive sounds from)
A bass line (Electric bass, double bass)
A lead line (piano, guitar, violin etc.)
Vocals!

Just a thought like whilst we’re all locked up......

The one I have is a WHD, size wise they all seem pretty much the same (except compact ones which my son has). I'd like an upgrade (only because I've had it a few years) but I'd rather upgrade my ukulele first.

Technique wise, let your hands bounce off it, don't hit it.

Could be possible if it got a bit of traction on social media etc.

We need a song first though

I can work with pretty limited material: even something just recorded on a Claret's phone will probably be usable, so no-one should be afraid to contribute. The software I use (Ableton) is very good at matching/stretching samples and I will edit out any bum notes or recording wheezes.

I had been working really hard on a live show so I could do some festival gigs with my new stuff this summer; obviously that's not happening now, so it would be good to do something else and maybe even help with a good cause.

If anyone is reading this and is interested but would prefer to share anonymously: you can email a submission to

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 5:27 am**

Incidentally: I'm not really involved in the Burnley music scene and don't use social media much but if anyone knows anyone who might be interested in contributing I would love to hear from them. Best way is through email: contact [at] patternminds [dot] uk

My flatmate had one of these when I was at uni (although I'd completely forgotten the name). We used to take turns with one on guitar, one on percussion.

Do you want to be the first volunteer to record?

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:05 am**

I could contribute in some way. I have been playing guitar for just under 3 years and have written quite a few (mainly rock) chordal progressions. I am from a musical family, with some members having gigged professionally for many years. We have recently formed a band, FAM, and have written and produced 2 tracks, which are due for release on 17 April. We don't gig; we just transfer files amongst ourselves, mainly using Apple ProLogic. I would be happy to submit a chordal progression or two to get things started. To check out the quality of our stuff, there are some short tasters on the page below. Scroll down to 'Give Us Yer Money'. The 2nd track is called 'Wake Up!!'. I wrote both chordal progressions and play rhythm guitar on the tracks. We have also set up a record label, through which we release the tracks.

I really like the sound of your band upanatem.
I'll be adding those to my Spotify playlist.

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 1:40 pm**

There's plenty on here who could " blow their own Trumpet ", and others who " bang the drum " for some cause or another ...

I'm told I have a passable low Baritone ....

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 3:03 pm**

Would it be of any use if I recorded a drum track onto "Audacity" and emailed you the file ?

Posted: **Sun Apr 12, 2020 11:40 pm**

One thing this lockdown has done, I've just spent the whole day learning stuff about Pro Logic X on the Mac, I would never have had time before.

Glad you like them, cf, and thanks for the feedback. Just 2 of us sharing the tasters on F/B has resulted in !,300 views each, and they are not yet released (17 April).

I'm happy for you to email a drum file to me, and I'll play a guitar chordal progression over it. I have Logic and Audacity but I'm not familiar with Audacity. I'm not sure, but I could try importing the Audacity file into Logic. If it does't import, then I'll play the progression into Audacity – it can't be that difficult to work out. (Famous last words?)

Alternatively, if you post your drum file to the link that Hieronymous posted above, then it would be 'open' to anyone to have a go. As mentioned above, keep it to 120bpm.

This sounds like fun.

Okay dokay, I'll give it a go. Will be back in touch one way or another.

Just a thought... when you record your part, video yourself. Then we could put together a video that we could upload to youtube afterwards, if you're up for it. If it were to go viral, the proceeds could be given to a worthwhile cause.

If you are uncomfortable with being recognised, video from the neck down, or just display your instrument – the mind boggles! I have it on good authority that if you're videoing on a phone, you should video in landscape and not portrait.

Those types of videos get removed from YouTube, as I found out the hard way.
