We (Fine Lines) played at Ragged Bear Festival in Nuneaton, held at Queens Hall (or EEN L according to the sign). Audience seemed to like what we did (no glasses managed to hit us), despite us not being traditional "folk". Gear used was the usual (for me) Sklar Warwick Rockbass, Shure wireless, Origin compressor, DCX and Bassrig. No amplifiers were harmed in the making of this show. There's also one of my really bad YouTube videos, which I won't be offended if you don't watch (there is a song towards the end of the video).

That's pretty much how I look when I'm playing.

We (Fine Lines) played an outlier gig as a part of Leek Americana and Blues Festival in the grandly titled "Leek Bar and Grill" which appeared to have a bar and presumably had a grill (although it wasn't visible). It was the first outing for our new line-up, which featured a change of singist (who also played guitar) and drumist (who was playing cajon, so probably needs to be described as cajonist). All things considered, it wasn't terrible. We didn't get glassed off and the venue has asked us to return (as a band, not as patrons).

For people that don't do the Facebook, this popped up on my feed. Can't be too many of them around, so worth keeping an eye out for.

Have you ever paid to play a gig?

On some tours, the support act pays to get on the billing, with the hope that they'll make enough in merchandise to cover it. Sometimes, if they're signed, the record company will front the buy-in cost. We've had one occasion where we possibly just about broke even, although if one member of the band had submitted their full costs it would have lost money. -
Rig Roundup - 'Hamilton' - with Ian King

Really interesting, thanks for sharing it. -
I think the Hap ax2 doesn't have an external antenna. Right-angled rj45 plugs look to be available from a few different places (Amazon, CPC, etc)

You can get over-ears hearing protectors which have a 3.5mm socket, but you'd need to put in an external source (possibly a small zoom recorder).

It's been a long time since I tried them, but my main concern would be that they're mainly designed to amplify speech. I'm not sure what they'd be like for music as the in built microphones weren't great. There's also an in-built gate, which I'm not sure is adjustable (probably depends on the model) so that might be problematic as well. That said, it's been 20 years since I last tried them, so the technology may have moved on since then.

I think the accessible stereo/mono switch is a useful improvement. -
Whereabouts in Northwich was it?

I use the Behringer rack mounted mic splitters with my stage box rack mixer, in case there's a requirement to split feeds. It's a little pricier than using y cables, but I find it a neater solution and quicker to setup and strip out, which is the main issue for most of the use it gets. I should really label the inputs.
-
A few users here (myself included) swapped out the supplied cable for one from designacable. I thought it was definitely worth it, as I wanted a right-angled jack, rather than a straight one.

How unreasonable of them!

I think what people are saying, is that it's subjective. For me, the ZS10's are great. I can't say if they're the best sub £100 set, as I haven't tried every model available. They do what I need them to though, at a price that wouldn't make me wince if I had to replace them.
