Tiny pub lounge with the Blues band. Not that one. Busiest it got was 13 punters. At the interval that had reduced to one old guy at the bar. Two bar staff and one of them put his coat on and left. At the end of the night the remaining lonely bar maid (can I still say that?) said it's the same scenario most weeks. Ever the professionals we played our full set, got paid and went home.

We have two and a quarter hours of tight songs and the venue can have any permutation required. Normal sets are 2x45 3x45 2x60 1x120 at one specific venue We also recently did a short 30 min set at a sports event.

Dr Feelguid in Ivory Blacks, Glasgow last Thursday. Only their 2nd gig since lockdown but as a fan of the original Feelgoods I really enjoyed their set.

Teardrops. Take the name of one of your most widely known songs, keep it simple for use on posters and advertising. Venue owners and promoters or agents like names that are easy to remember. You can also add a simple strap line pointing to your Soul/Funk style.

This is how I've done it for years but Mark. articulates it brilliantly. He's also a better player than I am.

Bye Bye Johnny. Quo's version with audience singalong. Outside under a gazebo on Girvan Beach Front in Ayrshire.

Baby Please Don’t Go, Them.

Splendid. Thanks

I'll take that as a don't know then. 😃

Our band is venturing into IEM land for the first time. We have a Phenyx Pro transmitter that came with one receiver bodypack. It accommodates a max of four. I'm having difficulty finding a Phenyx receiver pack to buy for myself. Will another brand receiver work if I make sure the frequency range is in limits? Thanks in advance to the vastly experienced BC community.

Oh don't be that snob. Rattle into Big Fat Mama, Softer Ride and Forty Five Hundred Times and find a new world of wonder 😃

When do you need to be ready to gig 20 songs of a style you don't know or listen to?
