Is it just me or are music videos very slow to load on Basschat ATM ? 😎

The mellotron, the B3 can be cut in half for transport (the guys in the shop used to do this), the mellotron ran on vertical tapes, so it had to be moved as one piece. Leslies were cumbersome bits of furniture but just heavy & biggish, not really a problem. 😎

For the uninitiated - I worked part-time in a shop in North Harrow that specialised in things musical (esp organs) - they managed to borrow one from the Beeb (Paris studio?) because they were tied up with Jack Jacksons' sons (he was a big name with the Beeb)- I actually played with thing, and very strange it was - I think the Beeb had theirs converted for sound effects use .............. 😎

How the heck did you gig with a Mellotron ? They are huge, heavy, temperamental things ............... 😎

FTFY 😎

A bit longer than usual, but it's Mikey Dread, just go with it - 😎

When I was promoting, bands used to do 2x45 + encores (if any). Big names (think Ben E King, Jimmy Ruffin, Desmond Dekker) used to do a contracted 60min, up to them if they went on past this - I think Jimmy Ruffin finished at about 2hrs!). 😎

I may be wrong (not unusual) but this looks very much like the brother of another thread (which got locked) a week or two ago ...................? 😎

I played at The Star & Garter in Windsor (the original Ricky Tick) a looong time ago & we had a guest group whose name I forget, but the Bassist was about 13 & the Ric was almost bigger than him (& yes, they were bluddy brilliant) .............. 😎

Nice, tidy setup - have a gold star ! 😎

I've given it several looks & am pretty sure the opening is much like 'if the song of the songbird' - which was originally Manfred Mann 'Come Tomorrow' - but I can't find anything reggae that matches ................ 😎

It's off the Natty Rebel album, but you know that (!) - I've never heard it before. 😎

You have to have the right (v expensive) lead to your amp ................. 😎

Check Crack Converters and Evil Bay, I'd guess they'll be sold on ...............good luck. 😎

.............. welcome to my world .................. 😎

Sounds pretty average ............... 😎
