    Do you think Theresa and Brian could be in any way related ?😞

    I thought it was trite, Nancy, but you can’t please everyone I guess. Bass players or the general public... What naffs me off more is that the recent Queen film playing fast and loose with history will become accepted fact, like Wikipedia.

    Explanation to non-UK TV viewers: the title refers to an old show called 'Stars In Their Eyes' when members of the public impersonated singing celebs. In a recent conversation with my dear pal @bumnote he revealed he's once auditioned to replace Joe Jackson bassist Graham Maby (whom we both idolise) in a Portsmouth band - possibly the one left to join JJ. Sadly, he failed. I once auditioned, equally unsuccessfully, to replace Tom Robinson in his less successful follow-up to the TRB, Sector 27. I was a guitarist at the time. Anyone else tried to step into the shoes of the famous?

    I come from Merseyside and George Harrison used to deliver my parents’ meat order from the local butcher on a bike with a basket! Having got that out of the way, I think the Fabs had two audiences, the singles and the album buyers. My first album was an LP called ‘A Collection of Beatles Oldies’ with 1963-66 singles on. As a pre-teen, that was good enough for me. i still think the White Album is overrated, but then so much these days is viewed through a nostalgia filter. Where were Abba’s fans in the 70s?

    Alex Phillips, Danny Bryant’s bass player (a member here) uses one. He had to do a lot of work to make it playable though after buying it on Gumtree.

    Bought for my son but not used (a typical story!), this is a light and surprisingly versatile instrument that has MusicMan and Precision-style pickups on separate controls plus an overall tone knob. Comes complete with a sturdy hard case. Not much more to say except that it would be an ideal starter or backup instrument. Has the MusicMan vibe, but is considerably less unwieldy. Pickup from Bournemouth, but I get up to London sometimes.

    Presenters aren’t the problem, are they... producers have the say-so.

    One word: 'Why?'

    Wah! Heat... two classic singles and then a dwindle into the gutter of obscurity. Shame!

    Don’t buy a Stingray if you want a Precision- simples!

    The worst thing is when the organiser hogs the best musicians for himself (it’s invariably a him) and you end up playing with the ‘C’ team...😞

    Free World is a crap song, whether the great Neil wrote it or not!🧐
