We are doing a bit of research and are wondering if any of you have hidden talents. Perhaps your a pretty mean guitar player, or do a bit of stand up comedy in your local pubs/clubs. Perhaps your a dab hand at trick shots on the pool table or do a passable Elvis impersonation. are there any budding showbiz stars out there driving trucks?I used to be a pretty mean drummer… now I’m just a mean git.
which brand your kit?

In those days it was Ludwig for bass, hanging tom, floor tom and Premier snare. Zyldjian cymbals and a premier pedal and hi hat stand. Weddings and boozers were usually pretty lively.

I might just treat myself to a quality set of 5 (much better to pay more, as they are weighed for more accurate, predictable throwing).
Look up oddballs.co.uk
I can recommend thuds.

Bigvern…is that a barre chord…or a rude gesture…
I sing with a shanty group called Deck and Focscle, nine strong. Just for the fun of it. Will be starting violin lessons soon, but already mess around on cymbals, a couple of low whistles and some flageolets.
Some people say I play the buffoon, but I was a Maths teacher for thirteen years and so I really don’t know what humour is.
Good voice, decent enough on recorders and tin whistles, learning to play bass. Missus is ■■■■-hot on keyboard/piano and learning clarinet and flute.

It’s an F in C major!
I went to the Royal Academy of Music and studied trombone, piano and harpsichord. Also used to play a bit of guitar. Taught and played just about all brass instruments for a good few years. Retired now due to wobbly teeth!

Yeah I’m into photography too, lucky really cos I do have a few shots of my trucks going back to the 1980s. Some nice stuff there Brian.
I don’t know if its strictly a ‘talent’, but I am a teacher when not agency working.

If you’re a good teacher then I’d say hell yes it is a talent, and arguably one of the most important jobs around.
