Ah, this looks like a bloody good thread!
My main instrument is bass, in which I've been playing for over 3.5 years. Self taught. I also play quite a bit of guitar and drums. I dabble in keyboard and know a bit of stuff on violin. I can usually pick up an instrument and figure something out on it. I like messing around with synthesizers in studios as well! I play in a band with my mates - you can check it out

We used to have quite a few gigs, but this summer hasn't been very fruitful. However, we're quite possibly looking at gigs at the Montgomery Hotel in Honiton, the Phoenix in Exeter and The Wharf in Tavistock. We're quite regular on the pub circuit, and usually get good reception. We've played around quite a bit actually, and have a demo. We're only 15, and the demo was done first take
In fact, our best claim to fame is that Matt Bellamy of Muse has asked to hear our demo and so has Nik Turner of Hawkwind/Space Ritual.

If you're gonna do a RailUK band, you wanna do some real music man!
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
One Track Mind - Motorhead
Rock N' Roll Train - AC/DC
Nighttrain - Guns N' Roses
Or you could settle for a jazz approach and do jazz days onboard trains on heritage railways. Not that it would really count as a gig.....
