David Brent: Life on the Road Page #5

---

Wow, great guy. Brilliant guitarist.

Life and soul of the party.

And he knew how to party.

His nickname is from the fact

that he'd always turn up to your door

with a different girl with big b*obs.

So, nothing to do with cancer, um...

But he is now doing two years

for 11 different counts of sexual assault.

Hiya.

Saturday, innit? So...

Rehearsals.

Yeah, this is where it all happens.

This is the last one, actually,

before the tour.

That's all booked.

Well, I got six or seven gigs in.

Still a few gaps. I'll be filling those.

There are guys here

looking for opportunities.

Um...

If not, I'll have a day off.

That always helps with the old tonsils.

So...

Anyway...

Keep the noise down. Nah, turn it up.

Let's rock.

Yeah, boom, that's perfect.

And then, like, eight bars of this. Yeah?

Whassup?

Come on, let's do some work now then.

Here's the band.

Foregone Conclusion, Mark ll.

- He's not in it. He's just, you know...

- We're just gonna, um, finish this.

Yeah, let's do some...

Let's do some... You know him.

Look. He's already at work.

I gave him the gig.

Stu Monkford.

Mammogram's nephew

I was telling you about.

What do you call a bloke

who hangs round with musicians?

The drummer.

Andy. We have got Mike and Steve.

They're brothers.

Don't look alike, do they?

The beard's different.

I guess like with most session musicians,

you get, like, a call...

gets put in to your agent,

and they, um, you know, say,

"Are you available?

Is it something you actually wanna do?"

Um, in this case, not particularly,

but at the same time, you know,

you go where the money goes

because you can't ever guarantee

when the next lot of work's gonna come in.

For us, it's just, you know, we're out,

and we're getting paid, and we're playing.

Let's do it. Let's rock.

What shall we do? Let's do, um, Ooh La La.

- I'm not in that one.

- He's not in this one.

Starts with an acoustic.

# Sold my shack in Memphis

# Bought me a Chevrolet

# Six string in the back

And a bottle of Jack

# And I headed down to Mexico Way

# Singing ooh la la la

# Ooh la la la la lay

# Ooh la la la la la la la

# It's a beautiful day #

Okay. Let's do it.

I'll send a cheque over.

I've been putting

all the gigs in, you know.

Hopefully I'll get

a solid three-week block.

I'll get to work on it, promoting it.

That we can build, and get A&R along.

Um, but, you know, the...

the tour's shaping up.

I'm the artist and the manager.

I have to book the hotels.

The old credit card has taken

a bit of a hammering.

My flexible friend.

Yeah, um...

They're gonna be gutted when I'm gone.

But at the same time,

they know it's what I want and deserve.

Hence, they're gonna be happy for me.
