Royal Blues at The Glad, that London last night. The evening started with my finding out I wasn't in the band pic on the flyers. A subtle hint maybe? Turns out only 2 pics from the photo shoot we did, were done portrait, and to make them fit the flyer I was cut off as I was at the end. I'm on the Instant Gram and other socials. The venue usually put on acoustic solo or duos, in my band there are 7 of us. So it was cosy in the stage area. I was using my Ibanez UB804 which was DI'd. The stage monitor is usually used for the acoustic gigs, so the bass couldn't be turned up too much, meaning it was another gig where I couldn't really hear myself. The guitarist had the same problem. Despite all that, the place was packed and the punters loved it, and the promoter is going to book us for a bigger venue. One guy said to me after "what you did on that bass was unbelievable". I chose to take it as a compliment 😆

The Electric Ballroom. They're playing all of Two Steps From the Move.

Michael Monroe, formerly of Hanoi Rocks. In that London next Wednesday.

Free with Musicians Union membership. Cover is for a lot of the things other Insurers don't cover.

Rather than start a new thread, I'll plonk this here. A vocalist in one of my bands has a £25 gift voucher for Rose Morris. She popped in before a gig to buy an XLR lead, only to find a whole raft of terms and conditions that make it difficult to use the voucher. It can only be used online (so add p&p). Rose Morris don't seem to care about purchases or footfall in their physical stores. The full amount of the voucher has to be used in one go. The £8 lead she wanted in the shop is not available online. There is online a lead which is half the length for £16. This all means no return visit to the physical store, no additional purchases, and negative feedback.

My solution. Tie scarves on the end of it... And wear a kilt!

Has she got a sister? Asking for a friend...

I really like that simple layout, one pup, one pot.

Or take a leaf out of @Happy Jack's book and play metal db's!

"0 Shop reviews." Run away!

Challenge accepted! Nah, not really. At least until I've got a couple of more months down the gym behind me.

Why is this your problem?

Name and shame!
