Why does the drummer have more gear than us???????

With the Torzal bass (no mor wrist pain)

Another example this time with digital cymbals

Thats correct...our drummer has a number of acoustic shells with Roland or Drum Tec skins...+ the various Brains....they are so consistent and easy to mix and as you say a very full powerful sound...and no noise on stage. Ha

Yes, well spotted ...it was fabulous...its was very heavy 2x KT88 output valves purchased from Supertramp who we meet in Scorpio studios

This is our set up now...no backline, no monitors, no acoustic drums.

Some pics unearthed from our gig in 1974/5 we were very proud of our gear (mostly imported) We couldn't lift that gear now!!!

August kicks off with us welcoming Fynnius Fogg back to The Place after their hugely successful gig in September. Fynnius Fogg, with three original members, from Bedford, started their band in the late ‘60s playing Pop and Rock numbers. Their popularity grew as they travelled the county and they were signed to Pye records in the early ‘70s. They finally finished playing in 1979 when other career opportunities called. After a reunion party in 1991 they decided to reform with the original band members but decided not to take any fees for gigs and just raise as much money for various charities as they could. To date they have raised over £700,000 for charities and good causes. They will be raising money this time for the theatre’s Raise the Roof Campaign. Catch them live on Friday 2nd August at 7.30pm.

5 years ago (this night!) when Fynnius Fogg was awarded a group MBE. WhatsApp Video 2024-07-13 at 17.59.44.mp4 WhatsApp Video 2024-07-13 at 17.56.24.mp4

We are doing a show in a small village Theatre run by volunteers. 80 seats great acoustics

Konig & Meyer 14760 guitar performer stand....its a gig saver!!!!

Its very well built Konig & Meyer (german). Have given it some welly, to test, 2hr gig & 3hrs of rehearsals and the joints have remained tight critically the angle (neck up down) the joint has ratchet. Its a gig/pain saver. So I will keep using and checking

First gig since shoulder surgery (cant use a strap for months!!!) with the bass on a stand. Looks weird but worked & very easy.
