  1. Probably not released yet, I'll update the thread when P&E show part 2.
  2. We researched it for a potential venue. Reports were (I didn't go there) it would've been a bit snug for us, a 6-piece jazz band. We play regularly at the Tooting Tram & Social - nice big stage. Lots of rooms at The Bedford in Balham as well.
  3. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1457440048' post='2998513'] Anything by Oasis. [/quote] don't think i've heard that one
  4. with Juan Alderete on pedalsandeffects.com http://www.pedalsandeffects.com/blog/2016/3/7/interview-tim-lefebvre-on-david-bowies-black-star
  5. I was thinking cor this is a bit difficult, then realised I had four of the six parts of that concert open and playing at the same time. Have reduced this to just part 3, and have started again.
  6. Band 4 only. Band 1 won't be gigging, so no thanks. Band 2 looks good but they don't know the difference between "enquiry" and "inquiry", so no thanks. Band 3 could be promising but don't know how to use hyphens, apostrophes or capital letters, so no thanks. ps. does "playing out" mean gigging? I've not heard it used in this context before, it usually means minimally-supervised communal kids street playtime here.
  7. OMG. All of 801 Live. In case you're not familiar with Mr McCormick... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkGXUn0Kuuw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=UkGXUn0Kuuw[/url] Thanks!
  8. [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1456417446' post='2988845'] Immense pressure to do that gig [/quote] Not helped by "pressure" being the only word sung by the band in the otherwise instrumental intro
  9. A million times better than Lady Gaga's effort. Dave has said previously of Lorde, "he told her that listening to her music "felt like listening to tomorrow"."
  10. [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1455013157' post='2974928'] Thanks! Keep your eyes on that link, I'll refresh it a week or so before the gig. [/quote] Done! Although the link is now... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/262929-jazz-fusion-evening-in-at-tooting-tram-social-sw17-thursday-march-3rd/
  11. A bit of a different flavour to this month's On Broadway gig at the Tooting Tram & Social - as usual my band Velcro Pelmet will be appearing, but we'll be first on in support of prog band The Far Meadow, who will be doing a 90 minute headline set, starting at 9.30pm. VP will be on about 8.15pm, doors at 7pm. As usual it's free to get in, and the beer's good! The evening's facebook event is at https://www.facebook.com/events/1681630498776880/ Check out The Far Meadow at http://www.thefarmeadow.com and www.facebook.com/thefarmeadow And Velcro Pelmet at http://www.velcropelmet.com and https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet
  12. Like that Scandanavian fella with the hair who was popular last year, I can't listen to it but I wish I was that good.
  13. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1455785685' post='2982336'] Highgate really is another world... I walked through there at the weekend and it was all mock tudor gated communities [/quote] I like to think it's as much to keep them in as to keep us out
  14. [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1455779574' post='2982283'] Dulwich is ridiculous. The village is home to some of the biggest snobs in London, the whole place is a giant toff's club. I can't wait to move away from this area. 2 more weeks and I'm out of here. [/quote] You're not going to Highgate are you? http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2016/02/12/people-eavesdropping-posh-mums-north-london-comedy-gold/
  15. The Crown & Greyhound is shut for a refurb at the moment, so I suspect Fullers are jumping at the chance to get some of their clientele. Also, here's well known restaurant critic and local resident Jay Rayner and his investigations on Dulwich Estate and the wider situation in the area: http://www.jayrayner.co.uk/news/dulwichcollege/
  16. The Digitech Synth Wah has wet and dry outputs, if that's any use
  17. We usually start slow songs slowly, then bring them up to the tempo of the rest of the set by the end of the song
  18. Same here - thought I'd be ok with my DVD player that has handled NTSC fine before, but I've just checked and that was Region 1-6 encoded discs, whereas Jaco is Region 0 only. As mentioned before, it plays fine on my PC.
  19. +1 for the Gallery, Martin looked after my Geddy Lee Jazz bass and got the setup just right, and took the time to call me to discuss options having examined the guitar. Price list here: http://thebassgallery.com/workshop - set up for £35. Not bad.
  20. Someone's list of the top 18 concept albums of the 21st century. I've not heard any of it, apart from the title track of American Idiot. http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2010/11/the-18-best-concept-albums-of-the-21st-century-so-far.html Shame they couldn't think of two more and make it a top 20.
  21. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1455060871' post='2975636'] STORY: Genesis - Duke [/quote] Really? What's the story?
