    148-page full colour large format book on the life and times of PR man extraordinaire Glen Colson. Plenty of anecdotes, stories and inside info on the Bonzos, Pink Floyd, Stiff Records and the Charisma label, all of whom he worked for. And plenty more besides! He was inspired by Deke Leonard’s Rhinos Winos & Lunatics, my all time fave rock read. Sells at £20, but I will part with my as new, autographed copy for £14. Not to be missed by any fan of the hedonistic Seventies scene.

    I have one of these and might be tempted to part with it...

    I doubt even the genius that is James Blunt could not elevate that song...😂

    Confession: I fast forwarded... 😂

    I’d have liked it to have finished three minutes earlier...😘

    He has withdrawn it!

    If only I were flush, Charlie...

    Exactly like mine!

    My niece is learning bass - or, rather, she had the gear and has mastered a few favourite riffs (Nirvana, Pink Floyd’s ‘Money’, etc). Call me biased, but she shows some aptitude. She’s asked me where to go from here. I have always thought learning from scratch these days would be a cinch, given all the YouTube instructional videos you see around, but to be honest I am baffled as to where to start. Too much choice! If anyone has had to recommend a channel, or even particular clips, to someone starting out I would appreciate your advice. Thanks!

    For any fans of Jimmy, this makes fascinating if sad reading... http://stringdriventhing.co.uk/heartfeeder-plus-seven-from-hollywood-to-howwood/

    Bitsa!

    Much as I enjoy the series, I found this rather undistinguished...

    Contribution to this great thread from a man who impersonates JO for a living... https://fb.watch/2Y0a2v1Ae1/ Edit: his tone and pickup settings are in the comments.

    I deny knowing either of you. And how did you know it was in Staines-on-Thames?😂

    I was recognised at a Sunday morning boot sale by a punter at the previous night’s gig. Embarrassingly I was wearing the same outfit...😁

    I wouldn’t argue with the sainted Francis... a musical God! Werent you involved in Sonja’s memoirs?

    Hi Mike! Think they were called Sisyphus before she joined. They are very much a going concern, have been for several post-hiatus years, and I believe their bass player may be resident here?

    A fully illustrated 172-page printed documentary of ‘House Parties, Hustlers and the Blues life’. As new condition. Published in US 2019. Having visited Clarksdale in 2016, I can say that this book gives the authentic flavour of the blues as it has survived and thrived in the Deep South. Many of the bars and artists I experienced are featured. Probably the next best thing to being there! Author Roger Stolle owns Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art, a blues store in Clarksdale, Mississippi, as well as his own music and tourism marketing service. He is a Blues Revue magazine columnist, WROX radio deejay, XM/Sirius radio correspondent, Ground Zero Blues Club music coordinator and Juke Joint Festival cofounder. Award-winning photographer Lou Bopp has photographed a majority of the most significant Mississippi blues musicians in recent years.

    Interviewed him three times and found him very humble and communicative. He saw 9-11 unfold from his apartment window which as you’d expect affected him profoundly. A big Anglophile. Great guitarist too!
  21. Mickeyboro
    Interviewed him for a DVD. Nice chap, witty with it. My questions were cut out and his answers left in!

    It’s down to scale preference really. I had an EB-3L and don’t feel it gave me more options than a single pickup EB-0 would. For blues-rock it was great though!

    I think you mean the stepson of Dave Gilmour?
