I don't think you have understood. The only bands that are in the Hit Parade were formed before the year 2000. So what generation is that? But to answer your question, yes I was.

This week, in the Hit Parade for both albums and singles, there are no bands who were formed in this century 😲 https://www.facebook.com/restisentertainment/videos/1248256536344708/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Are you going to put something soft on the floor too, to avoid chipping the bottom of your basses?

Just wondering if anyone who has objections to buying from Amazon has done anything about it? Maybe advocated for policy changes, by contacting local representatives and expressing concerns about corporate tax avoidance and worker treatment? Or supported campaigns and petitions, and maybe donated to or volunteer with organizations like Tax Justice UK or Fair Tax Foundation that work to promote fair taxation and corporate accountability?

Do they still have the outdoor stage?

Not sure if it's there anymore, but in Southampton there was a pub called The Hobbit, which had a mini pyramid stage outside at the back. I always thought that would have been a great place to play. I only ever saw bands play inside.

A weird thing that happened, the guitarist was playing a semi acoustic through a pedal board. When he kicked on his fuzz pedal, it distorted the bass too.

Royal Blues, at The King & Queen, in Fitzrovia. Acoustic night, drummer played a Cajon. It was still a tight squeeze on stage, our line up is vox, bass, guitar, drummer, and 3 backing vox. It went really well, people were surprised when told it was the first gig for the band. Gear for me, Rob Allen Mouse, Swiff Audio wireless, into the house bands mini Markbass combo which fed into the PA.

I'll be expecting a build thread 😉

Which one?

Has a bit of a Wal vibe too.

And there are a couple of others (not including the animated series) that no-one has heard of 😆

So was Laverne and Shirley.

Sassenach porridge! All you need is oats, water and a pinch of salt. 🤤

That's got to be the furthest distance between band and audience I've seen 🤣

Donington 1988 😟

Rather than start a new thread I'll add to this. Just to say I'm really liking the look of these, and like that they come with a bow. £500 new is a bit steep for me to buy one on a whim, but I'll look out for s/h.

The problem is when it's unexpected...

I'd love to play there, but I've no interest in being a punter.

I saw the Manics when Richie was still with them. His guitar wasn't even plugged in!
