I went to one last night in Loughborough
got asked up once they spotted my bass but declined as I’m out of practice and hadn’t prepared anything
next time doing stand by me, true colours and Folsom prison blues
So, my 0.02£ is this, I’ve always been a huge U2 fan but even I can see that their most creative years are behind them and that they are basically a walking karaoke operation (albeit very rich ones). Time for them to hang up the instruments and enjoy the money like Smaug did
I used to think I wanted to play guitar …. I got better though and now I’ve recovered from that sickness “thou shalt have no other instrument than bass” (commandment #11, turn the slab over, Moses, God wrote it on the back), is my mantra
Speaking as a past dweller of a god-forsaken brambled bolt hole - I mean rural idyll I’d say you’d probably be very brave to move to another country and expose yourself to our bizarre humour
