Oh my God, yeah.
Yes, they were, because I wanted them to.
I didn't want it to look like they weren't doing the real thing, the real deal.
So I asked them if they would, when we offered them the parts, we asked them if they would also learn to play the instruments.
So they had five months to learn.
Wow.
And apart from Rosie, who plays Kitty, who could play guitar, none of them played their instruments at all.
So they had five months to learn.
No, no, Beth.
She couldn't keyboard at all?
Joanna.
I think she did a little bit, but not in any way that she felt confident with.
So they did all learn.
They all had tutors.
And then they all came together.
Lorraine, who's the drummer, Jess, had even less time because she couldn't get on board.
She was busy, so she had even less time to learn those.
I learned to play the drum, especially as research for this, and I know it's hard learning any instrument.
Then they all came together for two weeks rehearsal.
One was for the scenes and one was for the music.
