many years ago when I was working for a Jazz School - nice! - the woman in charge said her dream tutor for the drummists would be Charlie (approaches had been made) as he is a rather fine jazz musician.

The Beatles did it so why not? Wonder if Steve Jordan be using a 7 piece kit too?

Vodka and tonic needed once you hear they are over £600?

The next step is to post pics when you get the amp!

My Rob Allen Mouse. Sold to @Clarky, who graciously sold it back If I found out where my 6 string Shuker ended up - sold on here about 10 years ago - I'd be tempted to get it back. I haven't played a 6er as light, and with a better neck since.

not if it's broken because the hands have fallen off

This. Absolutely this.

well i've got the bass for it! 😎

IIRC the lady who played bass with Prince used a Fender Zone bass?

And so many things like feeding the hungry and giving people access to healthcare start with religion too. Personally I would have no qualms accepting a gig if was playing with gospel singers who could belt it out like Aretha.

Not a fan then, unlike Rodney Trotter?

Manic Street Preachers tribute band then?

TBF a lot of 'trio bands' use extra touring members.

I took some mates to see our very own Cetera's Kiss tribute band many moons ago. Awesome full on show - blood, fire breathing, pyro - and the Paul Stanley character couldn't have sounded more like Paul Stanley without actually being Paul Stanley. Contrast that with a Coldplay tribute I saw, whose biggest cheer came during an encore when they did a cover of 'I believe in a thing call love' by The Darkness. True story...

just take it one day at a time...

Still love me a bit of Specimen

there were rumours at the time, furthered by the fact they had the same management.

I saw Aswad when they played Wembley Stadium 😎 they were great, it's a pity people only know them for that Tina Turner cover they did.

The video diaries of the Shuker build courses are always great to follow.

I think more pics are needed?
