It's the temperature change that will affect whether the water condenses or not. If the room is sealed and the temperature drops you'll get condensation. If it's ventilated there's a good chance the fabric of the room will follow the temperature of the air in the room. As mentioned above, the warm air will rise, if you ventilate that warm air will escape.

"Above Dew Point". If you're heating the space to work in, and then letting it get cold - that's a rapid temperature swing.

The Greene King thing is well known and there's at least one thread here on the "Concur" expenses system or whatever they use. We lost a nights pay because the drummer threw a strop about not getting cash, got involved and gave them his email (we already had the singer dealing with it all) and then deleted all the following emails.

Yes. Twice at Covent Garden and once at Park Royal. Packed the places out each time - but somehow "no one had come to see us", despite everyone being given "tickets" outside to give in as they entered forthe vunue to assign numbers to. So we lost our pay and our deposit. Properly ripped off. After that we hired our own venues and sold tickets ourselves.

Humidity is relative. As the room warms up, the air will absorb more moisture, and then when it cools down, the water will condense on any surface. You can not keep humidity out unless you keep the space above dewpoint temperature. That's why "living" spaces must now all conform to building regs and planning permission. If you haven't insulated, ventilated, and kept the space heated, you will get problems.

The JOYO Double Thruster is a Darkglass B3K clone depending on which Darkglass pedal you've already tried.

Saw this and someone wit had commented that they'd be good warm up act for Oasis.

A few bands ago, one of the guitarists turned out to be quite deaf, a bit doddery and not very well dressed. I thought I could put up with it as the singer and the drummer were very good and the other guitarist was reasonable. Then the singer was asked to leave as there were issues with his attitude. The whole thing eventually was solved when the drummer moved house out of the area and I made my excuses as we now had no singer and no drummer, and I moved on (well, I was already playing with a couple of other bands anyway so wasn't too big a step). So you do have the option of leaving. I'm not a fan of sacking musicians, it kind of marks you as being a bit arrogant and above the others if it's just a hobby band. Have any audience members or bookers said anything? Are they playing badly? Missing sections, playing wrong notes, slowing down as the night progresses, ordering hot chocolate at the bar...

Ambleton? You'll have to be using USB-MIDI converters somewhere in the system to drive the video software.

My dad is 85. He's still keen to play but is struggling to find people who want to play the same music he wants to play. Or any music really. But he doesn't live in a city or large town so that's a factor. Along with his eyesight meaning he can't drive so relies on others.

It's not an OM, it's a jam night.

Surely it depends how much you've taken and whether you're a slave to that particular drug. 1 pint of beer can calm the performance nerves, make you less inhibited so you move around the stage a bit more. 3 pints will certainly make me move around the stage a bit more, but not in a good way.

It's not a giveaway if they don't give you one. 😂

Quality quip from Liam. I have loads of tickets going, they're £100k each, but kneeling only.

I gave up after not winning 3 Stingrays. I don't even know if I would like a Stingray. I've never even played one.

Extra dates announced due to unprecedented demand. 😂🙄 But entry through a ballot... https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/sep/05/oasis-new-wembley-dates-how-to-get-tickets-and-enter-ballot

That pretty much precludes him then.

Knebworth '94 with some other really good bands! £22.

It was already changing. The rapid switching MOSFET developed in the early to mid 80s was allowing bigger and bigger class D amplification systems.

I can't imagine Oasis will be very exciting show. Other than 4 blokes standing fairly still on a massive stage. Certainly don't see the brothers abseiling onto the stage. However a lot of shows far exceed that and are worth the money for the spectacle. To me the issue is the abuse of the monopoly on ticket sales.

I think this is an offshoot of the Sunk Cost Falacy. Where, the more time you have spent on something, the more likely it is you will spend more time (and money) to get to the end result. Even to disproportionate amounts* compared to the outcome. The marketing psychologists employed by these big companies know their stuff. *a bit like arguing on basschat.

1 million tickets doesn't equate to 1 million individuals purchasing tickets. Besides the number of tickets sold at £150 must be pretty high. I saw 4 freinds posts on Facebook shortly after tickets went on sale. Presuambly they bought tickets before it all went mad. I wonder how much of this has been overblown.
