A gig that seemed fated from the start. Guitarist didn’t want to do it, drummer cried off with painful wrists the day before. ‘It’s not our kind of venue, it’s too late, no one will come.’ But as so often happens we dragged victory from the jaws of defeat! The cellar bar venue rarely does ‘non original’ music but we got the nod for a Saturday two-setter. The stairs are murder with gear and the stage is compact, but the sound is very good. I played my Flea through the house Markbass CMP121. And so the Otis Jay Blues Band live to fight another day. Suspect the guitarist was going down with something - was in a foul mood anyway, playing from 10-midnight, and paid £6 for parking - but the dep drummer performed manfully. A drunken bunch of ravers, none of whom had ever seen us before (our audience don’t do late night Saturdays) took us to heart. I have never been groped on the dance floor before, but there’s a first time for everything! Arriverderci Boscombe… we will be back!

Blame the trumpet players! I love it😈

Love the bass but that protrusion at the end spoils it. And no, I’n not referring to the player😂

Thankfully not! I did peer at the audience through a window-shaped hole in a wooden screen, however. Live music, the glamour eh?😁

This was mine last night, depping with a five-piece in the New Forest. Don’t think I moved a muscle all night… Somewhere in the background is two Barefaced One10s and an Elf. Flea Jazz in front. Thankfully they turned the Olympics off!
