    Micky Jones Memorial Gigs The life of Micky Jones, guitarist and singer with progressive rockers Man, will be celebrated this September by not one but two memorial gigs. Both take place at the Pontardawe Arts Centre, Swansea, on 3rd and 18th September. The initial show on Friday 3rd September will feature Racing Cars, re-forming for the occasion, plus Sassafras, Edgar Broughton and for one night Micky’s son George’s new band, the appropriately named Son of Man. Saturday 18th at the same venue will see Jones’ long-time guitar partner in man, Deke Leonard, bring his Iceberg ot the stage for an all too rare gig. In support will be the Flying Pigs (a band Micky graced during Man’s 1977-82 hiatus), plus the Green Ray featuring ex-Man bassist Ken Whaley. Many more artists are expected to be announced in for this special event in due time. Tickets from [url="http://www.derricksmusic.co.uk/tickets.php"]http://www.derricksmusic.co.uk/tickets.php[/url] [url="http://www.neath-porttalbot.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=1678&lang=en"]http://www.neath-porttalbot.gov.uk/default...678&lang=en[/url] Tickets £12.50 adv / or £15 on the door Special Deal, tickets for both Shows £20, booking fees not included. Proceeds for the concert will go to the Samantha Dickinson Brain Tumour Trust, Awel Y Mor Care Center and a headstone for Micky.

    [quote name='MB1' post='895670' date='Jul 15 2010, 03:15 PM']..........Mickeyboro....Ask him where the new album is? a Single at the least![/quote] I think the problem is he doesn't own the music - Universal, who have swallowed up half the known world, do, and they (or their accountants) call the shots as to what happens. He played a part, sure, and was quite please with the rarities disc. He reckons next move will be to do a download EP of three songs and thinks the album is now an outmoded concept, so better to do three crackers and hope they are taken notice of. Whether the mighty Universal are interested in new stuff remains to be seen... PS: Anyone want a box set on t'cheap?

    Hop it goes well. But why the poster of the Labour leadership contenders?

    Just been talking to MK this morning and he made a joke about it having '24 carat gold knobs' or something! EDIT: Bl**dy h*ll, he wasn't joking!

    Is a new Jamiroquai song a contradiction in terms?
  9. Mickeyboro
    My point was - I wouldn't play a guitar they'd taken my name off! Would you? Edit: My pint was....

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='886218' date='Jul 5 2010, 12:38 PM']Precisions or Precision shaped Laklands?[/quote] I am thinking Fenders from where I was sitting (the 'cheap' £65 seats), though the second half one (black with TS scratchplate as opposed to red/black scratch) had a shinier bridge whichcould have been a Badass. I thought Lakland had stopped doing his anyway? Michael, Stills' voice was shot...and he didn't look a well man (unsurprisingly) despite being buoyed by the rapturous reception. They're doing a covers album so did a lot of others' songs - the missus was delighted by 'Behind Blue Eyes' as it combined her two fav bands. By the end they could have been singing 'Agadoo' and they'd have got a standing ovation - those voices...

    Playing with Crosby Stills & Nash @ Albert Hall. Used two Precisions, one each half, through Ampeg. Played 50% of notes with his thumb, the rest with fingers and one solo with a pick (which he replaced in the peghead without missing a note!) Mmm...tasteful

    Flawless transaction, can't speak more highly of the man!

    Final bump!

    My pals the Man band had a track used for a Fast Show trailer on BBC. They got nothing financially out of it whatosever...

    I'm mildly amazed Stevie let a tribute act to him appear on the bill

    [quote name='bigsmokebass' post='874875' date='Jun 22 2010, 09:50 PM']Also the 12th, 13th, 14th etc frets and upwards may need re-ferreting.[/quote] I'll get my stoat!
  21. Mickeyboro
    more Chrissie Hynde than Suzi Quattro .... Are you sure, Simon? Suzi born 1950, Chrissie born 1951! Love the bass by the way.
  22. Mickeyboro
    That is absolutely fabulous! Bill McCormack on fretless, if I'm not mistaken. Bravo!
  23. Mickeyboro
    It just seemed to be a version of the Jonathan T*ss show. The whole series was lazily done anyway. Why bother?
  24. Mickeyboro
    My God, this is identical to my first bass amp ever! Wish I'd kept it - have a bump.
  25. Mickeyboro
    I bought my Samson for £65!
