What if a simple school play could ignite a lifelong passion for music? Join us as we recount Hannah's remarkable transition from her first performance of the Ghostbusters theme tune in primary school to developing her skills with a vanilla-colored Fender replica bass and a cherished electroacoustic ukulele. Through personal stories, we explore how these instruments and experiences shaped our early musical journeys, making this episode rich with nostalgia and heartfelt reflections.
Discover the magic behind musical inspiration as we share how playing Guitar Hero and early keyboard lessons honed our coordination and timing. You'll hear about the pivotal moments when encouragement and positive feedback reignited our love for music, emphasizing the joy and confidence found in singing and performing. Listen as we discuss the influence of iconic cover artists like Kelly Clarkson and Johnny Cash, and how their renditions sparked our own creative expressions with instruments and voice.
From the thrill of unforgettable gigs to the camaraderie of band life, we share our most memorable performance stories, such as an acoustic set in a biker-filled pub and the vibrant energy of Ferryfest. Laugh along with us as we recount the amusing journey of naming Davey's band "Mammal Not Fish" and how live performances transitioned to home music production due to health challenges and the pandemic. This episode is a celebration of creativity, the bonds formed through music, and the relentless pursuit of passion despite the odds.
