Thomas Dolby always used to get me with clever lyrics 'My friends tell me she's just a, Dumb Blonde But they don't know she dyes her hair'

The wood on those side wings reminds me of 1970's school desks..doesn't bode well for me

Strap button screws checked pretty regularly as I jump about a bit 😲 Apart from that, not a lot.

Ooh get you guys! Excellent review, good luck with the album 😎

Oh perlease!! 😉 They have always been that glorious OTT shade of dayglo!

They've been on that bass for going on 8 years now...nicely run in so they are!

Not a patch on their debut vinyl.....IMO 😏

Ooh just found a pic on FB

Played at a lovely little pub in the middle of nowhere around Princes Risborough...marquee in the garden with real ale in kegs, plenty of punters (where DID they come from?) and enthusiastic too. Had a great night even when we tripped out the whole pub during the 3rd song (had a bit of an impromptu sing along organised by the singist until somebody reset the breakers) and the lead guitarist had a lead go pfft near the end, cue other guitarist playing intro to Stairway to a huge cheer while he sorted it, and panic look from singer cos he couldn't remember the lyrics lol. Got another gig in July out of it too at a pub in Henley....good times

LMAO!!! Nope but if you look closely you'll see a dangling Smoothhound, which seem to be out of favour at the moment.....does that count?

Double Damnation! Ooh just realised I've comitted another sin here too....hand off the fretboard!!🤣

Ooh.... last weekend went to see 'Tubular Bells for Two' locally, basically a pair of mad aussies who thought it would be a great idea to do Tubular Bells live...just the 2 of em! Extensive use of loopers and adrenaline and they were both wringing wet by the end. Supported by gypsyfingers, who I had never heard of, a kind of acid Clannad which was most entertaining, with the added bonus of being co fronted by Luke Oldfield...son of aforementioned Tubular bells creator. Bass player Simon Hedges was utterly mesmerising, leaping around the stage barefoot gurning like mad and never missing a beat, on a Ric seemingly held together with gaffer tape!!

FOTN...great stuff...love Celebrate as its almost all bass and picked too...its a workout for me as a mainly fingerstyle player!

Tubular Bells....always great to chill to Curved Air- Air Cut...great band at their most rocky Yes- Going For The One....no filler here! Sabbath Bloody Sabbath......Sabbs. nuff said

Fours years??? awww man feels like last week!

and in the spirit of the post, here I am getting my boogie on!!

Oh I dunno...you smiled when I sold you that Yammy TRB5 in a motorway services car park a while back 😉

Want!!

I struggled to find anything accurate for Saturday Night's Alright at the time. I ended up going for the stand out bits and riffing the rest..as long as they danced I was happy

I'd say you dodged a bullet there Don, I've heard you sing at one of Lester's bashes...you are just like me!!!

Maybe its the adjustable end and he wore it really short so the the adjuster is over his shoulder out of sight??

Its the 7/8 time that used to mess up our guitarist, rest of us had no issues with that... I love Rocks, so much energy..I never cared it was a simple line!!
