Almost. Nick Lowe released his ‘Bowi’ EP in response to Bowie’s ‘Low’...😆

Tracy doesn’t come out so well in the bottom one. EBTG...the bandana years?

Mushy peas on the fretboard is not a good look...

I admire you. I have never managed to make snow patrol anything but abjectly boring...😩

😩Oh dear - I think there’s been an outbreak of Bruce-ellosis

When it comes to those covers I am a doubting Thomas...

A great Costello cover featuring Bruce

I can see the attraction...

Just ask yourself: Would Bruce do this?😁

Just for fun... List: the total number of people in your band The number you would call friends The number who are colleagues The number you actively dislike My band: 4-0-2-1 Maybe there’s a coefficient of happiness hidden in there somewhere?

It shot up £65 in the last 30 seconds, so sadly not me!

Now if you could turn the drummer down too...

Maybe Ged will drop it off himself... he has time on his hands 😄

In that case, I might!

I have a preference for Precisions - and while I have never considered parting with my 71 I have owned several ‘imitations’. I’ve been happy with Lakland, Bass Centre Bruce Thomas and Squier Classic Vibe, all of which are worth less - some considerably less - than a ‘real’ Fender. The standard of budget bass these days is very high indeed, and certainly all those named measure up to MiM Fenders - in fact better.

The winner cakes it all?😞

It’s an effect, you know...😂

I had this. But I actually found I liked both songs...

I suppose this is the only Feelgood style band that can’t employ a wilko clone... I published the first book on the Feelgoods, with the band’s cooperation, back in the day. I learned that every member earns from the band, past or present, and that the band owns/ed half of Canvey Island’s property. So a functioning Feelgood serves more than just the current members.

Midge? Ure joking!😈

Absolutely agree with the above. Amused to see a pal of mine Glenn Quinn on guitar. I know him from his work with Son of Man... had no idea he did this too!

While respecting your evaluation of their musical worth, I don’t think we can deny them the right to continue given that the ‘other 3’ were longest-serving members. They’re in a cleft stick, really - too imitative and they’ll get slagged, too different and they’ll... well, you see what I mean?

Let’s be honest there aren’t likely to be too many crap tributes about, for obvious reasons. As a musician I can imagine it might get boring after a while unless you were really into the act. The fun for me would be in the learning. In that spirit, I did once see a Fleetwood Mac trib advertised that moonlighted as Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers!
