Hehe. I thought it ain't really a 'Gurls thing'. Well I ain't really interested in the drums. But i'd give it a try and start learning to play the drums. Not! Hehe Grin


But thanks for the encouragement anyway. I guess it's just not my thing. I'm quite satisfied with the guitar and piano, thank you. Grin

Hot angel, it counts atleast for the fact that we both play that one.

Well, as a plus, I play the keyboard-what the ancients would call organ
and if you didn't have a hurried childhood you'll call it pyano.

I also play the drums and have an idea about bass guitars. I'm planning
on learning how to play the saxophone very soon and perfecting what
I'm already doing on the recorder.

but the voice remains the best hot-angel,

By the way, what's the point of the question?

Thankfully by God's grace, I play at church and also for a Big Gospel Group in the UK, not really into playing at Clubs but as you may know Gospel Music is playing any style, so I could be interested in playing a Club tune but not playing in a club

Brother, i like ur spirit, thats the spirit of one that wants to learn everyday. But tell me, i heard in the UK that its very hard for u to see some churches with complete instrumentalists. that most churches r looking for one.
My cousin actually told me. He's in KICC Uk.

@ emmeno.  The honest truth is that, it all depends on how well people are paying their tithes, or should i say depending on the church's purse, and also how Important a Pastors sees a Choir. Some pastors don't really care abot the Choir's performance, and thats is the mistake they are making.  A Good Choir brings more Congregation and it also uplift the spirit and wins soul.
Yes Church's are looking for Musicians because they always mess up previous musicians and bring a bad name to themselves. And in London You can't afford to be messed up for just 1 week salary not to talk of months salary

Guys from My Experience, I will always advice people to stick to just 1 instrument and be the master in it, rather than jumping from instrument to another. I only play the bass guitar fullstop. I think one of the problem we have in Nigeria is that so many people want to be the guy that can play any instrument rather than being the best at your instrument. I have come across many nigerian instrumentalist that when you tell them you like what they play, they tell you "This is not my main instrument oh"
I guess nothing is their main instrument, its always the other instrument.
It is good to know how to play another instrument, sometimes when i practise at home I play keyboard to help me move around chord changes on bass, This does not mean I now have to learn Keys to start playing it outsiide.
