Following on from Yorkie, (originally Danny Baker) - the Southend squad as Thelonious Monk's list of advise to musicians:

Sean Clohessy - JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT A DRUMMER, DOESN’T MEAN YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP TIME.

Anthony Straker - PAT YOUR FOOT & SING THE MELODY IN YOUR HEAD, WHEN YOU PLAY.

Ryan Hall - STOP PLAYING ALL THOSE WEIRD NOTES (THAT ********), PLAY THE MELODY!

Graham Coughlan- MAKE THE DRUMMER SOUND GOOD.

Ryan Cresswell - DISCRIMINATION IS IMPORTANT.

Freddy Eastwood - YOU’VE GOT TO DIG IT TO DIG IT, YOU DIG?

Michael Timlin ALL REET!

Neil Harris - ALWAYS KNOW... (MONK)

Barry Corr - IT MUST BE ALWAYS NIGHT, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN’T NEED THE LIGHTS.

David Martin -LET’S LIFT THE BAND STAND!!

Kane Ferdinand - I WANT TO AVOID THE HECKLERS.

Hurst - DON’T PLAY THE PIANO PART, I’M PLAYING THAT. DON’T LISTEN TO ME. I’M SUPPOSED TO BE ACCOMPANYING YOU!

Mark Phillips - THE INSIDE OF THE TUNE (THE BRIDGE) IS THE PART THAT MAKES THE OUTSIDE SOUND GOOD.

Luke Prosser - DON’T PLAY EVERYTHING (OR EVERY TIME); LET SOME THINGS GO BY. SOME MUSIC JUST IMAGINED. WHAT YOU DON’T PLAY CAN BE MORE IMPORTANT THAT WHAT YOU DO.

Dan Bentley- ALWAYS LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE.

Ryan Leonard - A NOTE CAN BE SMALL AS A PIN OR AS BIG AS THE WORLD, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR IMAGINATION.

Gavin Tomlin - STAY IN SHAPE! SOMETIMES A MUSICIAN WAITS FOR A GIG, & WHEN IT COMES, HE’S OUT OF SHAPE & CAN’T MAKE IT.

Chris Barker - WHEN YOU’RE SWINGING, SWING SOME MORE!

Elliot Benyon - (WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TONIGHT? SHARP AS POSSIBLE!)
