Prelude to Bamboo's concert Colchester

I received a late night call from my Uncle in Norwich. He asked me if I heard about Bamboo's concert tour in the UK and I said yes. He asked me if Im going to watch the concert and I said I got no time, too busy with work. Then my Uncle said what about if I asked you to play during the concert because I know a band here who will be doing a frontact in Bamboo's concert and they're looking for a guitarist. And then my thoughts suddenly changed. So, we talked about why they needed the guitarist, when and where the concert is and my uncle gave me the contact details of the band.

I found the band on Facebook and also on YouTube and they're called Crossedwind. We've made arrangements and had a chat on the phone. I gave my details as well as my website www.vincentryanborres.com and we went from there. Now, I got the list of the songs we're going to play. Set our rehearsal dates because it's a long journey for me to go to Norwich where the group stays. And the concert will be in Colchester this April 6, 2013. Another big break for me to play as a frontact in one of the best vocalist and fronting bands with big names like Rivermaya and Bamboo. Now, as a solo artist, Bamboo is coming to the UK for his tour and promotion of his new album No Water, No Moon. You can visit the official website of Bamboo, www.bamboomusiclive.com

Visit tour dates and don't forget to buy your tickets on this April 6 concert in Colchester.

P.S. Those in the UK can contact me if you're interested to buy tickets. Bamboo will be in London on April 5, then Colchester on April 6 and Manchester on April 7.

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas. During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts. We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs. We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...

My DIY pedalboard

I am using an improvised setup for my effects and gadgets. At the moment what Im using is a Digitech RP55 guitar processor and I bought on ebay an M-Audio expression pedal and sort of opened it and changed some polarity inside to match my Digitech foot pedal and it was a success. I can now use the pedal either as a wah or whammy. I was quite pleased with it because not only it's a small one but it's got a big punch. So much for that. Now, having two pedals; a multieffects processor with the expression pedal connected to it, I think a pedalboard is a necessity. Why? Because the two pedals keep moving about and I had to kick it each time so that they are close to each other. What to do then? First thing's first, I looked online for DIY pedalboards as well as proper pedalboards that are commercially available and ready to be used. Well, it's all good but I got an improvised setup so I was thinking that it won't fit my needs. I ended...
