    If you don’t mind me asking, is the tip bucket a regular thing or needed to top up your fee? I’ve often wondered, but have aeen them most in the States where bands often play for nothing.

    The above is a truly excellent post!👏

    Do you know, noted football fan Jeff Lynne should consider a celebratory version of Mr Blue Sky re-titled Gareth Southgate. Or maybe not… 😂⚽️

    My gig is a postponed one from last Saturday. I shamelessly intend to change into my 1966 World Cup shirt for the encore, and alter change the chorus of Mustang Sally to Win England win… 😂 Sadly, I think Y Viva Espana would be more accurate.

    RRP £15. Price £8 includes UK P&P. Excellent condition. Fascinating read from a man who produced the greats.

    Was in a band with one of the later Records members. They were a good little power pop outfit. My then girlfriend dragged me to many a gig!

    And another perfect transaction - this guy keeps delivering!

    What kind of notice did they need (ie how early do they plan?) Were they general fests or generic? Is it for money, exposure or both? Questions, questions!🙏

    This is the time of year I always rue the fact we never get on any festival bills. It anyone has the secret to this, and how to sort the worthwhile (financially and otherwise) from the really not worth it, please feel free to share! 🙏

    Thankfully it seems it’s not coming to that. But take it from where? The studio? The lockup? The stage?
  11. Mickeyboro
    I wont be mean and ask name of band and brand of basses😈 That would really be nerdish…
  12. Mickeyboro
    What are you called and what was your gear set-up?
  13. Mickeyboro
    Whereabouts geographically is this, my friend? Hope it goes well.

    You’re not in a very strong position, unfortunately. When do they propose paying you off? If it’s just the one gig I am not sure I’d be fussed. After all, how can you stop them playing?

    Put sold in the heading (edit) and it will lock thread

    Is he the artist formerly known as Sire?😈

    May I say Pete is a gentleman and a scholar who looks after his instruments impeccably and goes the extra mile when it comes to a deal? There, I did! Good luck with the sale.

    Indeed. They’re an anomaly, a band without a frontman whose drummer uses a hand-held mic to converse with the audience every third song or so. We could spend hours discussing the use of the gong…😂

    Guy Pratt watch… Poole, 25/6/24. Alternated a Ricky with two Precisions, once donning a Telecaster guitar! Put a Quadrophenia bass riff into Arnold Layne and a Jam riff into See Emily Play. Did a surprising amount of lead vocals. Cued Nick Mason in numerous times, only to be repaid by the comment that ‘both bass players I have worked with have been…awkward’. All in all a solid 8 out of 10 on a night when England were decidedly missable. I would recommend Saucerful of Secrets!

    Pics of the actual set…

    Now £110 …. LAST PRICE £90 I wrote a review of this box for Record Collector late last year, having listened to it on a stream. Universal Records declined to send me a copy when it was manufactured, which was very annoying, but I managed to get one reasonably priced in Amazon France’s Black Friday sale. It has sat perfect and unopened in its shrinkwrap since arriving, but I realise I am just too busy to give it the attention it richly deserves. So I am happy to pass on my price saving to someone who will appreciate it. Below is a link to an unboxing video, but I am happy to forward my detailed rave review if you so desire. I even have an audio file of my interview with Pete Townshend, who seemed oblivious to the fact the Box Set was listed at £250😂. For peace of mind I will also send pics of my set: below is obviously a posed pic to illustrate the contents. So…10CDs and a BluRay, plus a graphic novel - it’s all there in the shrinkwrapping for you to enjoy! https://images.app.goo.gl/aEfHuVyiM857uYYc7

    Thats a G&L? Through a pedal?

    Transitioning from 4 to 5. Give me, please, one handy tip to help me accomplish this. Thanks!

    I just love details. I am a nerd! And if, knowing the name, I saw the band were on locally I would probably go see them to give some BC support. I’d google to find out genre, if it wasn’t obvious. I have my band’s FB as my sig so people can check me out. I enjoy this thread and probably would even more if I couldn’t gig myself. EDIT Am saving Franticsmurf’s for later with a cuppa. That’s my kind of review!❤️
