A band of pupils I (try to) guide

[Mick Molloy]

Hey all,

Since the beginning of this school year I've been helping some pupils of mine in a band. A few weeks ago we even went to the studio and recorded two songs. It's not like the Pogues but I'm quite interested what you think

Fair play to them! I prefer "End of Time", it's got more going on, a bit more rocky than "Be Free". A really promising start to their career. Well done

For a couple of 13-14 and 15- year olds it's a pretty good start ey

Good work! Do you lead band workshop at your school? And what kind of a school is that?

Haha no I just wanted to teach some musical pupils of mine how it is like in a band. Things like managing, booking gigs, writing songs etc. It's more a bit of a hobby of mine

This is great Mick! Keep it up.

For my son's senior year in high school they were given an assignment in their Economics class to develop a business that would net them a certain amount of $ by a certain day. They had to write a basic business plan and execute it. My son decided to write, record and sell a 4 song CD. He wrote all music and lyrics, enlisted a friend with proper equipment to record and mix, designed the cover and wrote the notes inside, etc., etc... we then got them made and put in cases (I was the cheap labor folding and stuffing), set a price point ($5.00/ea) and he calculated how many sales it would take to turn a profit. The enlightenment that it takes money to make money was priceless. He will finish University soon with a degree in music focusing on production and recording. That's not to say he isn't still fronting 2 bands and playing bass in 2 others, it is just that if the whole rock-star thing falls through he can get a good job in the field he loves

And I'm not even a music teacher and to be honest that film was a bit of a trigger for me to gather some kids

Jolly good work, Mick!

Really good start, to be sure - add some mixture of Mick Jones and Robert Fripp (I know, odd combination ), and it will rock some serious casbah!

But it's nice and neat even now. And the girls look rather cute

Sounds good! Let me know when they're on tour in Belgium.
