Might dip into next weeks show as it’s featuring Ronnie Wood with Imelda May on vocals.

Just showed the wife this link and she immediately comes down stairs with this, magic.

I’ve got that at the moment.

And his other half is a bass player, Beth Ami Heavenstone, so he’s doing something right.👍

The other side of the coin regarding your last sentence is a lot of the new stuff has no relevance to folks who were really into the music produced thirty years ago.

Being a “musician” doesn’t mean you cannot express an opinion, wether it be positive or negative about bands etc.

I remember years back we used to do Two Princes by the Spin Doctors, if we happened to play it just slightly faster, the vocalist couldn’t get the words out fast enough to fit.

Amazing vocalist, such a tragic end to her life and her daughters also.

WTF. As to the studio audience loving them, it’s probably like the old TV game shows where a chap holds up an applause sign and they follow like sheep, Bah. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

The emperors new clothes springs to mind.

You know that well known saying, “ you can’t polish a turd”.

You are alone so far 😀

The right venue for them would be a soundproofed room with locked doors. Could have used some of the gaffe tape over her mouth.

They wouldn’t even get a gig in a local live music pub around our way.

Its bewildering how they get the exposure and who would actually pay to see this act, appalling vocals and musicianship of an absolute beginners level.

Thought I would just flick over and see what’s on tonight, this lot were on, that’s me done, this show just gets worse.

Was Lou Reed ever a singer, he used to just speak most of his tunes 👎

Cheap advanced return rail ticket would be £89 each, four piece band equates to nearly £400 on rail fares, it would be far cheaper to drive up even if it included hiring a van.

What a shite vocalist, worse than “pub singer” style, bass player did the right thing.👍

The not being able to drive will also limit your choices.

Non response to emails really gets my goat, just an acknowledgement they have received it. They wouldn’t leave a letter delivered through their door unopened on the doormat for days. 😤

It is always this time of year where I start to feel like packing it in. I’m the only one in the band who seeks out and books gigs etc, if I didn’t do it the band would have no work. I am now contacting venues for gigs 2020, most of them we have already played at this year, it is so frustrating as it involves multiple phone calls, texts and emails to the venues to obtain dates, soul destroying.

Part bass, part accordion 😀
