Yep done a few Blue Angels gigs with our punk band and apart from the guy that booked us and possibly a few others you're just background music. Did have one night where a lot of wives and girlfriends were there possibly Burn's Night Jan 25th and they were all up dancing most of the night but that was a one off. Have to say its the only gig i've ever done where i don't need to carry my gear. They unload our gear at the start and then load it back at the end of the night. Got underpaid the first time i played there but not as many turned up as they were expecting but fair play they paid us without issue after that and even allowed us to get some Blue Angel T shirts. At the end of the night several guys said we were a great band and thoroughly enjoyed it ??? Dave

I'll be having less o yir cheek ya young whipper snapper that ye are. I do have a mobile Dave

If no working pay machines are you not allowed to park for free. what if you don't have a mobile ? That worries me a bit. Dave

Just sold some model railway track to Clive. Absolute gent of a guy. Comms was fantastic and we shared a good laugh over the deal. Highly recommended buyer or seller. One of the nice guys in this world. Dave

Brilliant lines from your post had me laughing a lot. Hopefully tonight will be a belter. Dave

Now i know what i'm getting for Xmas. Loving the t-shirt. Dave

Can't open the pic @tauzero any other way you can attach ? I feel as tho i'm missing something important that i could buy myself for Xmas. Dave

Vouchers for their fav bass shop or possibly Strings Direct. ? Dave

Love it. Looks like a very very nice area. Hopefully we'll get some snow this year. Been a def lack of it over past few yrs. I do love a nice snow scene provided i don't really need to go out in it. Dave Dave

Cannae beat a good Prog song in a Blues band. Dave too early ????

Is the snow that bad in Wales. ? Hot chocolate with cream is in order i reckon. Dave

Such sad news to hear this today. I've had many conversations with him over my time on BC. Condolences to the family and friends. Our thoughts are with them on this sad day. Dave

Well done and now that you've got the live bug you'll just want more and more gigs under your belt. Dave

Mad but such a great feeling for us to be part of it. This is my fav thread in a long long time. Dave

You have some really interesting gigs @Boodang Dave

Aha i see what you mean now. I did say i was old and slow Ach not at all, i'm just a nice calm auld fella that plays bass. Its a Mesa TT800 and SVT7 both lightweight both pinky lifts but all those visits to the gym over past 3-4yrs are paying off after all. Cabs are both lightweight too at 20Kg each. One in each hand load ins. Dave

Not sure what you mean but i'm guessing there is an element of fun and sarcasm.. Being old these days, sometimes i'm a bit slow on the joke uptake. Dave
