  1. Woody Wood… if he wasn’t dead! Actually, he aint!😂
  2. I could see Neil Young playing the first Pilton festival alongside Stackridge and the free milk. Rod Stewart, not so much🤔
  3. So that’s the definition of flushed with success! 🎸
  4. Glastonbury and the BBC are now inextricably linked. Its profile will shrivel when they lose it to streaming. As will the chance for enemies to attack them.
  5. A bit more passionate than Hammers fans then!
  6. I think its a tribute band, Shed 70…
  7. Sorry, it’s a long thread, but the basis is that they have other bands they are members of. It depends what you describe as permanent… as it stands they get their fair share of any gig proceeds, so they wouldn’t earn more.
  8. People like to play music and often dont know how to say no. I am using them to keep my show on the road, so seemingly have to accept there will be a lower level of commitment/effort. Thats how I’m feeling.
  9. There is an element of ‘hedging bets’ in that one of the musicians’ bands has lost two members. Future was in doubt. However she is busily relaunching it, so ironically we would be better off if she fails!
  10. Fair point. As above, maybe gigs is the answer.
  11. I would ideally like one-band people, dedicated to the blues and backing us 100 per cent - no distractions. I only have room in my life for one band. We had plenty of gigs, but personnel instability had caused a slowdown. We aim to do more gigs and be more lucrative. People are willing to play for us, but they are already in bands. So while they rehearse, they don’t come prepared. This slows down progress, hence my frustration. Shuffling the pack constantly does so too, hence my wish to motivate.
  12. I’ll just re-state my original question, as it’s three pages back… Can a band thrive if most of its members have other, clearly more interesting/lucrative interests? If so, how do you manage/motivate them?
  13. A bit of history would be interesting… 🙏 I own a similar ‘71!
