In over your head ?

as a guitarist, this usually happens on a bill where another band is missing a guitarist and wants me to play with them. protestations that i don´t know their material are met with, ¨But you can do it¨. they won´t take no for an answer.
 
my first ever gig put me over my head big time.

three days before the gig my mate came to me saying his drummer had quit the band he was in so i was like okay, whens the gig?
so after three 3 hours practice sessions i got up onstage in front of 500 supporting a professional american band called girls, who are really quite good.
but to take my mind off the fact i had forgotten all the songs my mate made a bet with me that i wouldnt dare go up onstage in my underwear and a set of wellington boots.

as it just so happened, the gig went as well as it coulda and ive been playing with the band for about 18 months now, loving every minute.
oh and i won the bet, £5 in the bag!!!!!
