    Feel free to come over for a coffee or a butty- you've got a long wait

    Just a general note for the day, I’m in the caffe with a delicious latte and the cakes! Were I not diabetic I’d be on them, it’s only a 30 second stroll from the village hall, I can heartily recommend it. Cheers @jebroad I’ve got a good book.

    Croydon. FRFR is a definite option. I currently run through a set of reasonable powered speakers I nicked acquired from work when they were being dumped, which I have permanently connected to my recording interface. But an amp you can shove in a sling bag and take on the bus......

    I’ve just slung my QSC in a bag and taken it to the Bass Bash, you be surprised, thing is it’s perfect for home and you could use it for gigs if you wished. Just say the word and I’ll bag it up and drive it over if you want to try one.

    Are we going to have  Basschat lanyards with our BC names and our real names on them?  It's  a good Bass Bash practice to break the ice. Mine reads " Oh, No. Not that Twunt again."

    I am not sure about lanyards, at my first Bash a couple of folk had them and I wished I had one, last time at the SWBB I was glad I didn’t, mind you, those stickers with your name in marker pen, a) they give me the Jüdderman for some reason and b) I seem to be someone to whom nothing will adhere. I am rethinking the lanyard.

    Sleaford Mods last night, they were, of course, excellent but, for a change, I really enjoyed the support too, a band called Lines from Manchester...

    ...stark,  post-punk loveliness, first support band I’ve enjoyed for yonks.

    There's a coincidence! I was listening to a couple of RB songs earlier - Ballet Dance and Newz. The sentiment behind Newz hasn't aged a bit - in fact it's got stronger, if anything. I gather they're still going - do you keep in touch?

    Not seen Sid & Zillah since early 2000s and lost touch. Last time I worked for them was 11th Aug 1984 when they backed up New Model Army (yes, with Stuart Morrow) at Klub Foot. I keep in touch with their later guitarist Steve.

    Judging by your avatar I guess you are a Crass fan?  I saw them play a couple of  times, back in the day.  Once at the 100 club on Oxford strand once in Walthamstow at a small venue whose name I’ve forgotten.  This was probably 1980 or 1981.  I loved the first album, Do they owe us a living, securicor cares etc.

    A big Crass fan, certainly a very formative band for me, musically, politically. I used to hang out at Dial House quite a bit way back then, probably more of a nuisance than a commune supporter. I saw them at Walthamstow around the same time but I can’t remember the venue either! It was through Crass that I got my first job as a roadie for Rubella Ballet. I still listen to all their albums but Feeding The 5000 takes a lot of beating.
