ambient

I’ve only been once, that was only for an hour following a trip to see Gormley’s iron figures at Crosby beach. I’ll probably stay for the weekend and have a look around the city.

She’s extremely lucky! I’ve only ever been to one music show, that was at the NEC when I was about 15 or 16. The noise drove me mad - that was mostly drummers whacking and banging away. Some of the stands then had headphones available for people to play quietly, problem was that everything was just so noisy, you couldn’t hear yourself through the phones.

I should guess they’ll have amps etc set up in a separate room.

You know, that had crossed my mind, especially with Covid still very much here.

Good suggestion. 😆

Funnily enough, my mum just said it’ll be like a typing pool.

At least that’s what I’m told. What a brilliant idea though. I’ve previously been put off this type of event, I don’t like lots of noise. I’m going to go to this though.

No idea, to be honest I’ve never heard of them. You see some strange prices sometimes on Discogs marketplace too.

Have you tried switching it off and back on? If that doesn’t work then a good kick might.

I understand the server is to blame for the ongoing problems. Just wondered if you’d tried switching it off and back on again? If that doesn’t work, try hitting it with something. It usually works for me.

I blame the Russians, or the Chinese. I suspect Brexit has a hand in it too.

I’ve noticed over the past couple of days that when I reply to a posting, I’m having to wait 30 or 40 seconds while my reply ‘saves’. Then the page refreshes and my comment appears. I just replied to a post, and had time to make coffee and put the washing machine on while waiting for it to upload.

They’re probably just very insecure males, and best ignored. Some of the finest musicians I’ve played with have been female. There was a brilliant female bassist in my year at music college. The one drummer I occasionally play with is female. She also play plays and teaches vibraphone at one of the country’s top Conservatoires.

It’s sad that people are making fun of the post. Yep, gone are the days of easy trade from the UK to the EU, and vice versa.

Brilliant. I’ve released a few things on vinyl. It’s been increasing in popularity for a few years now. Cassettes are also incredibly popular. A solo album i released on cassette was one of the most successful things I’ve done.

You’re braver than me. I have posted a bass abroad, but only to Europe, and that was before Brexit. I wouldn’t again - especially after reading your story. I’m glad it arrived safe and sound in the end.

Sibelius is an absolute pain in the proverbial to use. We had to use it at uni, they wouldn’t allow us to use anything else. I’ve started using MuseScore, which offers the functionality of Sibelius without the shouting and screaming.

ForScore?

Is this related to imposter syndrome, where we don’t believe we’re good enough for whatever it is we’re doing?
