I remember that performance well. Brilliant. I'll watch the youchoob tomorrow. Thanks.

I am indeed!

Last night was a Blues band gig Dave at the other end of the city from where you played. Small amps, much quieter than the Quo trib. I didn't think to look for the mic but will make that my mission next time we're there.

Battling against a sound limiter is never fun. Resting level before we played a note was 82dB. We were told not to exceed 100dB so set phasers to soft blast and away we went. On any occasion where we tipped 100dB the barman ran out and told us we were too loud and had to turn down. We adapted the vocals to suit and at one point I was asked, jokingly, if my bass was on. Well, we made it to the end, got paid and went home. Drums, bass, 2 x guitars, 2 x vocals and moothie.

Thanks to everyone for your help. Card option is definitely the way to go. SumUp is simple and inexpensive. Tees arrived yesterday and look the biz.

We're venturing into selling t-shirts at shows soon. How do you deal with payments? Initially the idea was to be cash only but is there a free app that lets us accept card payments? Thanks in advance.

February The Rezillos in Glasgow. All in March. Six Quo tribute bands at The Robin in Bilston. Young Scottish singer songwriter Kerr Mercer in Glasgow. The Countess of Fife in Coatbridge. I was offered a freebie to see Robben Ford but he's not my cup of tea. Brilliant as he is.

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?

If the radio stations hadn't faded it out by then my favourite bit was Leon's wee bass turn around at 8.10
