When Things Go Wrong...

We had it, finally a church, band members and the equipment, and so we went ahead with our plans to record at 'St. Michael's and all angels' Church. But we were soon told a week before our recording that the church will be under construction for the next 6 months and that the day we booked would be the last day we could get. Luckily i quickly e-mailed and spoke to another church, Holy Trinity Church, as soon as we heard the news, therefore giving us a back-up if push comes to shove.

But on the day of our recording the man didn't show and so we lost our date of recording which was Friday 30 December, within the school holidays. This set us back in terms of timings, so cause and effect took place and we ended up loosing our violinist due to his work, and we also lost our keyboardist/guitarist due to his work and school.

At this point we became determined to get a church, more members and replacements. Overall we wanted to use the singer as a guitarist, and since we already knew that the singer was a very skilled guitarist we chose to incorporated it into our band.

With the keyboard, we had gotten ourselves a keyboard to use but we couldn't find anyone who was willing to be filmed or wanted to help. We already knew that the keyboard wasn't vital for our video since all that was played was chords (like the guitar) also taking into consideration that the violin assumed a higher role over the keyboard we wanted to focus more on getting a part for that.
