I'll chuck my web business in the hat as well (I wasn't going to tout on here, but hey go with the flow). 'Tis what I do, so if you need any advice, help, design, building etc give me a PM. Always happy to help.

Not sure what options WIx has to be honest, I've never used it but I've seen some half decent sites built with it. Personally I use WordPress as a base for all my sites, find a free template that half way close to what I need and then customise to taste. The benefit of WordPress is the number of plugins available (additional pieces of code to perform a particular task), of which Gigpress and Events made Easy are examples. You can make a WordPress site as easy or complex as you wish.

Gigpress is great. I've used it on many sites, if you need any pointers on formatting give me a shout. I've gone over to Events made Easy for WordPress based events lists. It can sync with Facebook events, so if you add your events to a band Facebook page you can pull all the data back to WordPress (saves on double entry for us lazy people). Again, if you need any info give me a poke.

Yep. had a gig like that...everyone was out in the garden (which was on the other side of the pub so no chance of hearing us)...ended up playing to the bar staff as a dog. We carried on regardless....

Love noels wig

Had my Hotrod signed by Jack Bruce....errr that's about it

I've never been comfortable with a pick, never been able to get the same speed as I can with just my fingers. As for tone, no one has ever complained and with the right fingering (oo-err) you can getting a picky sound anyway. Go with whatever is comfortable for you, if you want to put the time in to learning then do so, but it's not the be all and end all

Had my surf green out at rehearsal last week (first time out of the case for over a year), forgotten how nice it is to play and damn is it a growler. Think I may pop some new strings on and take it out for a gig.

LTRFTP.......I've been following this since day one. You sir, certainly have a talent.

I have a couple I do use on songs.....Insomnia being my favourite

Have these...

Mine was a present from the wife....so that means it will never be sold. Lucky really that I love it and it's now my number one go to.

1. Want to be gigging, not just rehearsing. 2. No wazzocks 3. A drummer who can keep time and groove 4. Not so far up there own arses they can't enjoy themselves 5. life is too short 6. Distance not a problem as long as folding covers petrol

With the new band I didn't know 90% of the numbers when I joined (not being down with the kids), but the dance floor rocks all night. Friday we debuted Insomnia, a track I never thought I would play live in a million years. Can't stand Ed Sheeran myself, but Castle on the Hill and Shape of you just go off. I like classic rock, always have being a child of the 70s, but it's time in pubs may be coming to an end.

As Above, there is nothing like the thought of looming gigs to create some motivation

Hobby for me as well, so 2-3 gigs a month is fine. Although I do have the luxury of running a couple of jams each month so if we do have a quiet gigging month then I have the jams to fall back on for a public outing. A busy Easter weekend though, Jam Friday, old band gig on Saturday (fulfilling a few dates before departure) and new band gig on Sunday. I bow to you though Blue, I think a 4 hour gig would finish me off and I have 20 years on you.

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1492064662' post='3277523'] that effort is worthy of LEGEND status [/quote] +1 to this, I bow that.

The reviews say it's a bit noisy, can't say I've noticed, but I am old and deaf
