  1. I added a comment to the CD order requesting that they play a few dates in France, Lower Normandy..! I'd go and see that, with great pleasure.
  2. +1 ^^; CD ordered illico. Jolly Good Stuff, say I; thanks for posting.
  3. This... Wandering Monsters, Bandcamp ... Jolly good stuff; me likee, so CD ordered.
  4. It should not be forgotten that there are lazy and/or inept original artists, too. I have a (long...) list...
  5. ... and the wherewith all to know which one that is.
  6. Now there's an idea for the Forum..! How about a topic where each of our bands receive requests for tee-shirts and other memorabilia and send the desired objects out..? It would get the band's name out to a wider audience, allow each of us to support (and show support...) for fellow BC members, at the same time bringing a (OK, very small...) revenue stream to the bands offering their wares..! @ped: Interested, God Ped..?
  7. (Well, Early Grey for me, if that's OK..?)
  8. And you wuz wrong, for once..! S'good to listen to good ol' honest rehearsals, as a benchmark for others, for instance. Not rubbish pipes on the old girl, either. @Ricky 4000: There you go; 'fill yer boots', as they say (I hope, 'cos if not, I'll pass for being a bigger fool than I am already..!)
  9. Good evening, Soledad, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  10. A bunch of covers from our favourite constable, displaying their prowess in rehearsing several 'funk' classics in great style. An interesting series of Soundclouds; dunno why it's been 'pulled'. @fleabag: Any chance of their return, your worship..?
  11. Stevie Wonder..?
  12. Ashdown stuff is really that fragile..? ...
  13. How are you with back-handed compliments..? I'm not a fan of riff-based heavy metal 'grinding' stuff, so take it as meaning that you're very close to the authentic sound if I state that I'd definitely switch stations if this came up on the car radio. I got my dose 'back in the day', with friends' record collections, John Peel shows, and divers clubs and festivals, and have no wish to be reminded of those prehistoric moments. Well done, then, on being true to one of the genres that I prefer the least. Excellent recording quality, excellent execution, mandatory incomprehensible lyrics squirted out in fine fashion; what's there to like..? Wishing you every success with your chosen path, hoping that it doesn't cross mine. There..! I hope the flattering aspect of this comes across; you're doing what you do very well indeed; so well that I wouldn't listen to it for more than a few long (oh, so long...) seconds. Well done. (And 'Yes, I'm old' ...)
  14. From Steve Russell's Hofner site ... '... For the first year or so, the guitar was finished in "russet-mahogany", but this then changed to the brighter "Cherry Red" finish that is synonymous with the Verithin. Some of the very last guitars were finished in brown/yellow sunburst...'
  15. 'sept mine are red. ...
  16. Take your pills, HJ; take your pills. ...
  17. If 'friends' includes 'family', it's been 5400 with our lot since formation. There have been a few changes in membership over the decades, but the formula has always been this way. Just lucky, I guess, or we're all easy-going, maybe. Band politics..? Nah, life's (far...) too short.
  18. Not at all, it concerns those that 'upgrade' cheap guitars, making 'em cheaper still, but more expensive, that's all. ... Oh, and no bagpipes, neither.
  19. Our bass amp is a Hiwatt DR205 (200w PA amp; 4 x KT88...). It is not a one-hand lift..! The original Hiwatts were (and still are...) very heavy indeed, largely because of those massive Partridge trannies. The Mywatts have solved that problem, whilst retaining the essential 'heft' of the Hiwatts. A class product.
  20. And the winner is... SH73..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2019_01.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...
  21. Modern toroïdal transformers, much, much lighter than the original Partridge iron. These have other advantages, too, aside from the weight (or lack of...), such as zero chance of having laminations loosen. If only they'd been around 'back then'..! This a very serious bit of kit; good luck with the sale.
  22. Probablement..? Que nenni; certainement, je crains..!
