Hungry like a wolf - Duranx2

Sad to hear that the COVID has again impacted on, what is generally, a great day out. I'd love to attend, however I appreciate people's reservations. Seen you all in 2022 hopefully.

Possibly a reflection of how mental health services have failed, not only the "ordinary man/ woman", but also those who become high profile cases known to the public at large, and the consequences of mental health issues. The tale of Syd Barrett is the sad paradigm that encapsulates the great triumphs and underscoring tribulations that defined the golden age of music. https://faroutmagazine-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side/?amp=&amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ffaroutmagazine.co.uk%2Fthe-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side%2F

Raining in my Heart - Buddy Holly

Walking in Memphis - Cher/ Mark Cohn (Choon!!!)

My Bonnie lies over the Ocean - trad.

"Peavey" Class D watts. Don't be fooled by the TE logo - it's NOT a Trace Elliot

Which is why Paul moved to Blackstar. I was chatting to him at LBGS and he said he left because there was little commitment from Peavey to develop the TE brand.

I use light strings on everything - 95s on 4 strings and 110/115 on 5ers. I haven't noticed any loss of tone (nor has anybody ever commented on it) - and lighter strings were popular in the 80s and nobody ever commented on that. In general we are talking about 0.05 to 0.10 aren't we?

White Fretless 350F on ebay currently £200 - no idea if this is a good price or not https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124803181701?hash=item1d0ed96c85:g:gZQAAOSwScFg5t~J

At £55 it could be worth a punt for those near Widnes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203514383423?hash=item2f62670c3f:g:okYAAOSwbkBg4gMY

Confusion - New Order

I ordered my Elf at the LBGS when they first came out and waited 6 months before it arrived. When it finally arrived I was so disappointed. NOT a Trace Elliot!!! I, for one, won't even be thinking about the new amp. If I want a well built British amp I'll buy an Ashdown. To quote The Who, "I won't get fooled again".

Many rivers to cross - Bob Marley and the Wailers

Twist and crawl - The Beat

Didn't somebody else buy one recently??? I'm sure I remember using the "is it any good for metal" pun

I went through mine recently. Not only could I not remember the gear I couldn't remember the buyer.

Personally, I think it's rotten! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304049376355?hash=item46cac14c63:g:u6MAAOSwx-hg2y9g
