police squad

Was cancelled on the day. It was outside on Deal Sea Front but the weather was awful. We were so looking forward to do this gig, REALLY buzzing after our rehearsal. It's taken us a year to get to this stage, (when I say a year, it's been a year in planning) but when we all got together....BOOM One practice was all it took. Everybody had learned their bits etc, and the groove with the bass and drums was epic we were gutted

software is all up to date. After some checking on fora, ipad2 doesnt work with the app I need

ok folks I'm looking to buy a refurbished ipad 4. 64Gb Amazon have plenty about 250 quid but I see other sellers advertising them from £110 upwards Anyone have any experience with this I bought an ipad2 4 years ago but it's not compatible with the iRig pedal I want to use, which is why I want the 4 TIA

just ordered, thanks. I have normal switch cleaner, which I've used a couple of times but if this deoxit is better long term, that's all good for me Desk will get a spray before its next gig, hopefully, which is outside on bank holiday Monday

could I use this deoxit stuff on my mixing desk faders. I have a couple of dodgy ones. It's a 10 ten year old allen & heath zed-fx22

he's currently sueing them

I've already done a load. Seems to be back to normal, p1ssed up people everywhere, I prefered table service and sitting down Happy to be playing again though

there are some very good cheaper guitars out there I gigged last weekend using my Vintage SG with vibrola trem. Very good bit of kit. I have 4 Vintage 6 strings and they are all good

I have always gone back to my P bass. With that in mind, keep the EBMM and get rid of the fenders, as you say, get a 2nd MM.

Agreed, terrible news but your health must come first. Good luck and I wish you all the very best

I don't think so. The drummer was superb, I've no idea who he is. Jon Moss has left and is suing them atm

happy to stand but not with people in front of me. I dont need the hastle at my age😂

finally got to see them Paid silly money for front row tickets (not as much as the bloke next to me) What a rhythm section. Actually George's voice was excellent but he is a bit of a nob. Lulu was one of the support acts and was first class and she came on and sang 'Man who sold the world' with CC. Great version, well done everyone, (bass player used a Mustang for half the set) Event security couldn't keep the punters in their seats, which made a mockery of being in the front row. A shambles. Won't ever bother with this kind of gig ever again but Culture Club were fabulous, they played songs that I'd forgotten how much I loved. Anyone else there?

last night I rehearsed with my Stereophonics band. We last played together 2 years ago. We have only done one gig and we had 2 rehearsals for it. Ran through the set last night twice. 2nd run through was really good. The point is here, everyone does their homework before rehearsal and the result is good. I joined a function band this year too. It was all on me to learn the stuff, which I did. we gigged, it was great, got rebooked immediately. If it takes too long to come together, it doesn't work IMO

sounds great fun. enjoy

Last year I was Gassing for (would you believe) a wireless microphone. After much forum discussions I settled for a Sennheiser EW100 G4-945-S. I love it. Having used SM-58s for years and years, then moving to Beta 58s for the last 10 years, I'm very taken with the 945 microphone capsule. I had a Brian May guitar too, last July. It's really nice to play and has a great sound, even when I don't want to sound like Brian, the core sound is really good

you've even got the correct 'Andy Summers' spec tuners there. Nice

yep, that's my thoughts exactly

I change only if I break one. Then I change the whole set

Lee Pomeroy also plays with the strings the wrong way up, as does the guitarist in Vanity Fare (Eddie Wheeler IIRC)

and I got married in a replica of the shea stadium suits (but in black, not tan)

that's Fab!!

I think I've got one somewhere!!

Cheers Pete I'm very right handed too but, for a laugh, it would be interesting. We know all the notes, so we're half way there. I fancy a Harley Benton PB shorty. £75 plus 8 quid delivery, can't really go wrong Then join a covers band that playes beatles songs and a lefty Hofner!!
