Never seen Peter or his band using them 😀

Great to hear you guys are playing some tricky songs, but what’s with all the music stands on stage.

Early 80’s, I was playing second guitar in those days, it was most probably Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy, played a Tokai Strat (wished I had kept it) through a Peavey Bandit Amp and Boss ME5 effects unit.

Currently on Sky Arts - Daryl Hall & John Oates live in Dublin 2014, love these guys, cracking song catalogue and superb backing band. 👍

Currently on Sky Arts - Ian Dury and the Blockheads, live Hammersmith Odeon 1985. 👍

Currently on Sky Arts tonight - INXS: Live Baby Live, Wembley Stadium 1991, brilliant gig.

Was it Macca ? Word is that Lennon played bass on Helter Skelter.

Tickets purchased for Limehouse Lizzy in January 2025.

When I stop gigging, which will most probably be in the next couple of years, I will do exactly the same, sell everything, I have zero interest in hanging on to my gear and just playing at home, it’s quality gear and I would sooner see another musician benefit from using it.

With the demise of retail music instrument shops, a vital source has disappeared with them, the notice board in store, this was a great way of finding local bands looking for musicians or musicians advertising they were available, a sad loss. ☹️

It’s hard to stay positive after you have been looking for a band for such a long time, keep looking, something will come along when you’re probably not expecting it. I have checked out a lot of your Youtube couch videos, your playing is definitely competent and you should have no problem joining a classic rock and blues band, I recon I have played 90% of those songs in your videos over time and are still playing some of them in my current band. Unfortunately age creeps up on all of us, I listen to some band recordings I was on from twenty years ago and I know I definitely cannot play to that level now, I have lost a certain amount of dexterity, I started off bass being a 100% pick player, over time I have transformed into a 100% fingers player, I would now struggle to hold a pick due to a medical condition that’s now with me for the rest of my life.

Love this, brilliant.

Chris Buck superb guitarist, beautiful tone and technique 👍
