  1. Seeing them at Poole on Tuesday!
  2. They will come crawling back! I had a similar situation re BL wife calling the shots and drew my line in the sand. Bad feeling was never far from the surface but they needed me.
  3. They did more than one?🙃
  4. I remember seeing the unknown Darkness supporting Def Leppard. Couldn’t work out if they were a proper group or a Bad News type pisstake. Come to that, I still can’t…😂
  5. I met one of our number today, PAJ Hartley, who is playing the Festival with Steve Young. Wonder how many chatters are there/participating?
  6. Pop sold in ad heading and it locks thread👏
  7. Bought a book from me. Deal was sweet as a nut - recommend this Basschatter!
  8. My second deal with this fella was as seamless as the first! Top man.
  9. Not an EastEnder then? 😂
  10. Geezer Butler - Into the Void (hardback, cover price £25) in close to mint condition - £10 plus £2.50 contribution towards postage. It’s a very intelligently written book by the real brains of the band - the bassist of course - told in an authentic voice. No ghost writing here. I enjoyed it, chances are you will too.
  11. Give us a clue…
  12. Used to be (and hopefully still is) a good venue. Glad they are putting on an originals band! Have fun.
  13. Fair point. Apparently Spandau Ballet found ‘packaging deductions’ applied to their downloads by the record co! I wouldn’t say the music business as it was worked in favour of musicians, but at least the record companies promoted their acts. Spotify to me is a bit like the venue that wants bands to play cheap/free ‘for the exposure’.
  14. Ferchrissake!😂
  15. Triple post😂
  16. Double post😂
  17. Why is there this expectation of a continuing royalty/percentile? Because without the creators music would not exist for Spotify to profit off the back of. I see the aforementioned Mr Ek made another $118.8 million selling some of his shares in April. Wonder if he can write a song?😂
  18. The median estimated compensation for executives at Spotify including base salary and bonus is $240,842, or $115 per hour. At Spotify, the most compensated executive makes $450,000, annually, and the lowest compensated makes $53,000. Estimated salaries. GIVE THE MUSICIANS A FAIR SHARE!!
  19. Its all the money being made by others (the non musicians/composers) in the streaming process that I object to. Unfair shares…
  20. I don’t have many principles but I just feel it’s exploitation. I buy new stuff from bands I know and follow up new music recommendations from friends (Whatsapp groups) and websites. And yes, you’re right - probably 2/3 of what I listen to is at least 30 years old…
