a day in the life of wayne ward….

yer its been a while – check my new hendrix picture i created! <- over there ;)
dont you just love it – ive decided to turn my back room / office into a rock and roll shrine!
Ive ordered some prints for my unique beatles picture…
Well again ive been buy as ive now knocked all the domestic work on the head for reasons such as
Bringing the computer back a year later and saying i never did it right! scratty trouble makers saying I sold em a pile of shit when they know it wasnt and people like asking you to go do a job I dont so they come to my house and offer me a fiver ppphhff you get the picture
so now im 100% commercial – networks – websites – VPN’s – optimisation and work only for businesses – plus my new policy I will work for any company the ones that pay straight away get my fast track service others well they just have to wait im afraid I cant be assed chasing cash.
So yes its going great infact im better of since I did this just ashame for the decent people who appreciate me and pay well.

Global band network is going to get pushed this year Ive put so many hours into coding the site now I need to populate it – ive give it a overall and its functionality is great now I also plugged a iPhone app into the site which works well. Musician search and soon im adding the shop

Gigs going well – did my first gig last night at the uni with black heart afterglow which was pretty good apart from the sound enginners were dunb as per usual and got feedback and generally didnt have a clue as per usual! the ashdown amp i used was a pile of shit I only use pro style trace elliot rack systems anything else is shit and designed for amateurs ! well we played well set was spot on – got some good feedback – looking forward to playing yorkshire house as he is a good engineer and not a bad rig. Got pissed on 6 beer tokens and had great phone when we did the photo shoot looking forward to the pics coming back – some metal band was on which werent bad shit singer like but good band – convulsions were on last and the guitarist started being a prick with me as he said I was at there gig and was giving him shit but i put him right as the silly cunt got me up to play zep rock and roll on bass – prick.
The hecklers are currently looking for a vocalist although rehearsals are going very well have a poke round my sound cloud to hear how the 1st and 2nd rehearsals here

“Its by far the best band i played in – pure talent.”

Just finished another site this time for suzanne jackson – nice jewellery site with shopping cart – take look here

I had a update on the site last week that broke the videos in the user profile – when I investigated more into it i found it was the part of the theme we used – so I changed it to fix the problem but ended up finding the template was a far greater experience for users to use GBN – so we have made some changes to the layout – hope you like it – I think its easier to use!
Im going to be looking into the music player and making music easier to upload to user profiles as it seems to be the one this people struggle with in silence!! If you do please go to the link at the bottom of the site that says FAQ were you will find simple instructions of how to upload your songs to the music player – also you will find other handy items aswell
People have been using the new musicians search including myself! if you looking for musicians please feel free to advertise for free!!
Another thing I noticed after a major update is I gained a number on my profile URL recently – if you did or you simply want to change your user profile url simply go to profile tab and pick preferences from the drop down box, then pick your custom url and click save, the change will happen when you log out and log back in.
Please go to the new polls page and vote on the latest poll….
We think its getting close to the end of the testing stage and would still like any feedback from users – please let us know what you like and dont like about the site – also suggest any features you think would be handy for musicians to use on the site.
Also some of the new functions of GBN in the last update is aswell as having a profile picture you can have a profile video!!! We also updated events system which allows you to setup events for your gigs or rehearsal or even photo shoots etc and invite friends on GBN.
Please check our review section freds added a review on the new jaydee GA24 recently purchased from the UK and shipped to america.

New groups added – TC electronics and Rack Attack and UK based band Black heart afterglow. Please feel free to add groups for equipment – Bands etc.

Please use GBN daily and make this grow into a great musicians resource – invite your musician friends to join and interact with them. Its a great tool for musicians and its free!! its all here what more could you want!!!

All the best from -> The global band network team.

while in london my partner freds wife came up with a killer band name for the new outfit I emailed the rest of the band and they loved it!!
so i just bought the domain name and configured the email..
got the myspace – twitter & facebook
i think that will do we dont need crappy google/hotmail accounts as we got the real deal domain name – now i just got to put a killer site together!!!

“There aint no flies on me kid”

great rehearsal last night
again i didnt trigger the recording it was on pre again! damn
anyway we ran through song of a baker pulled it to bits
wow the words ! the stops – the chords – the dynamics
ive been playing it wrong for such a long long time!

“nice learnig things properly the song is so much more enjoyable with the correct light and shade and dynamics! aswome”

it all started friday – got a message asking me if i could do les’s birthday at the nellie so me and dan had a stormer there was another act on 1st so we didnt hit the stage till about 11 !! plenty of ska and some hendrix – went down a storm – didnt do i saw her standing there or like dumb asses call it just 17 becuase i dont do that anymore that so like ten years ago – get ya timing right before you slag others! ha oh im 38.
so yer had a top one seen loads of good friends out had some hot pot yum yum our gary was out and our james had a good few beers and we was the last ones out!
had a night of saturday night our scott come over and lind and cheree what a lovely little lass she is funny! we ordered pizza and had the crack – what a good lad our scott his nice to have decent family around me couldnt have asked for a better nephew. Anyway sunday listen to a bit of beat club before i went out great 60′s program with small faces – the bee gees and go go dancers simply amazing times in the sixties would have been nice to share this time.
anyway got to the park for around two and took the fretless and the octave pedal of course as they go cap in hand! knocked some pino parts out on my warm up which frank the drummer liked bit of slap with some octave on the fretless does sound great! played a good few sets did some blues and rock and roll – we play all genres thats why were better than the rest! me and dan had a good chat last night and we know thats why we have the edge on “the others” great being a real muso.
Golly hit the stage with derek on vocals sounded bloody great and then dougie mckinnell hit the stage and sang with citizens band which was damn good. Our gaz and james came to see us which was great! Also good to see john ellison and alan crookal – what a good laugh! I hope bob luptons ok as he came in with a patch on his eye which didnt look good… john jeffries spot was a nice contrast plenty of acoustic guitar!! Then we headed down to the ma murpheys as loads of good bands were on during the day – good to catch up with all my decent like minded musician mates bloody great night – dan treat me to a burger and i went home
So great weekend apart from reading what the little trolls have been writing so Ive removed any connected with that lot from my facebook which was hard because its hard to pick out the bad people from the good – so im afraid ive had to remove decent people which i have doubts about… we will see im not that arsed about having a facebook account really.
Start a new job this week after being head hunted again for my multi platform talents which is good – see how we get on…
looking forward to rehearsal 2morro night its great working with the new setup – learning songs properly is good and not having to blag it and play it all wrong is a bonus – the songs are awsome – just keep watching this space for exclusive news ………..

“Worthless people blame their karma.”

played a quiet one with dan last night – nice and easy acoustic set and then threw some livelier stuff out in the second set – great audience ! overal good crack..

preparing for rehearsal wednesday and friday – just listened back to some of the wavs ive recorded so far – its shit hot – its nice not being limited to what you can play!

going to check up on the status on my spray job on the new rickie 2morro could do with it back now!!

had a mega weekend and im busy with work

all is good overall – keep tuned for hot news…

good sesh last night round morecambe – went to see whole lotta led at the platform! pretty damn good although I prefer the other zep tribute letz zep – overall pretty good mixed bag of tunes nice fat drummer big sound and timed perfect. Guitarist was pretty spot on – they only played the organ on one tune and a bit of mandollin – nice long drum solo man that guy has got some stamina!
no idiots in the place apart from us! suprising what a few exports can do to you !
proceded to hit the town and dragged my sorry assss in at around 2.30! i can just about remember being in coast and surrounded by pikeys? !
chillin out tonight waiting for my moghuls to come which im looking forward too..
Get plenty of rehearsal in as im out playing with the duo 2morro night which is going to be a buzz ..
Ive just been looking at rehearsals spots for the new exclusive band.. ive booked us right through to december – and im also booked up with blackheart afterglow ive never been so busy with the music!
id like to tell you more about the new thing but i cant yet… i can tell you one thing great bunch of lads and the sound well I cant say much but compared to what i used to play with its erm? lets say cherry picked guys of top notch musicanship im kinda looking forward to letting you see the difference! its very extreme – yes its loud – yes its very powerful – yes its rock at its best…
like zep? like acdc? like the who? enough said…… keep watching this space!!

it wont be long …..

on the work side im snowed under to the extent ive knocked all domestic work on the head – for one its a damn waste of time – for another public are hard work – business are much easier ( well some i have one company that im thinking of telling them to go shove it!) but yer corporates and websites is were its at!!!

i live for music – i thank my dad for teaching me the gift properly

Im happy to say all the band positions have been filled now.
Thanks every that asked and sorry for the people who didnt get in.
The members have been cherry picked and have the making of one of the finest rock bands.
We will be hitting my local town to give you a taste ….
So please watch this space were I will reveal the band name
