How does one gig in a newspaper? Oh, never mind...
This pictures shows why every band needs at least one lefty playing a stringed instrument. Poor Alan is standing apart from his bandmates, separated by the neck of his bass. Now, if he were lefty, the neck would be to the outside and you could see some real togetherness happening there!
As far as picking out the drummer, I don't think I could have done it. I would have ruled out Alan because he looks too intelligent and refined to just hit things with sticks. Any of the other three vaguely resemble drummers I have played with over the years, though.
Alan, congrats on some press and best of luck with the gig! Let us know how it turns out for you.
