First to Eleven are awesome. check out their version of Coldplay's 'Fix You'

....which prompts me to say....Alroight Now! Tarar-abit

There are some sound wally's about unfortunately and this one looks like he's top of the pile.

This might sound familiar.

We did take up a fair bit of space The Crown Hotel 01636 375025 https://g.co/kgs/xRk12m

Cracking gig at The Crown in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. Scratch 7-piece band, with 2 guitars drums and bass and 3 vocalists. Place was bouncing and we ran out of songs. Post gig grinning pic, I'm the one in the cap. Sound guy is in the red shirt

What a right old carry on!

Agreed. I've never seen them but my sister did in Brum many years ago and raved about them. 'The Book of Invasions' is a cracking album They're no longer touring having stopped in 2022.

I really like Neil Young's songs, particularly when my own mood is on the dark side. His voice is a bit marmite though. Bit like Tom Waits, many of my mates love him and he's written some top choons, but his voice gives me the heabies....think nails down a blackboard....yurgh

I stand corrected.....thanks😊

Horse with no name was written as a send up of Neil Young songs I thought..... bit like the 'Southern Man' song by Young with 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Skynyrd as a repost......no love lost betwixt the two apparently

Talking of which I have just 'discovered' the bassline to 'Welcome to the Jungle' for a gig I'm doing on Saturday. It's cool and I'm enjoying learning it...ok so Victor Wooten it ain't, but it seems Duff has some chops, even though he plays his bass at knee-cap level. Sorry, off topic.....

Lady in Red if sung by Chris de Bleeaargh Once watched Stars in their Eyes and a dude came on and did the song...wasn't too bad as the wannabe CdeB actually sang in tune. He must have won the show as during the reprise, the afromentioned CdeB came on and joined him as a duet and gave his normal 'eversoslightlyoutoftunebothsharpandflatsometimesallatonce' rendition which set my teeth on edge. I'd rather listen to wall to wall Coldplay (who did some ok songs on their first album to be fair)

Sold my Grizzly Bass pedal to @IanA. Easy transaction with no hassles

I'll probably want to buy it back in a few months! 😊

Thanks Nik I'm loving the bass.....and one day I'll get another Rickenbacker Phil

Just met up with @silverfoxnik to hand over some mullah for his Custom NR Thunderbird. A smooth and easy transaction all the way through and a pleasure to meet the Silverfox and chat about bass stuff. Delighted with the bass and a pleasure to meet you Nik.

Nice, I enjoyed that 🙂

Prepare, make sure everything works before setting off to the gig and then enjoy!
