The only rockin' we do is in our chairs on the porch... Though I find if we artistically blur the older members no-one knows just how decrepit we all are! Last night - sound is pretty good for mobile recording, at least through 'phones.

Photoshop, dear boy 😁 It's the modern equivalent of putting a pair of tights or smear of vaseline on the lens... Three of us are over 60!

We were somehow headlining last night at The Victory in Hereford... Three bands - TCCL from Leeds (decent band - good bassplayer!), Potbelly (from Washington State, hardcore but tight as!) and us... Our other bassplayer (Raph) brought the PA, and after a few minor teething problems, sound was pretty good - not too loud but still rockin'. We played pretty well considering our age (at least some of us!) and levels of infirmity, shapes thrown by guitar, head bangin' by Raph, getting right in the crowd's faces by Sam, some crazy cowbell licks by drums and lots of unnecessary widdling from me (I did say some of us are now beyond ancient). We even got 50-odd people in, there was some wild cheering (we normally frown on that sort of thing), we played for an hour because Raph suddenly burst into RATM's "Bullet in the Head" which we hadn't practised for ages and had to do an encore despite it being past my bedtime. And I was accosted by a young man who compared my playing to that of Mudvayne's Ryan Martinie, which was nice (though I did have to look him up just in case). Used the now-trusty ACG Recurve into Helix, BBE Pre and DBX compressor, Crown power and Markbass 4x10 - decent bottom end with good slap top-end.

G'day! Another Shropshire bass player to join the very few of us!

Hollywood Squares - Bootsy's Rubber Band (none more funky!!!)

I've got a Khrush(chev) on you - Ella Fitzgerald

Lenin Be - The Beatles

More Bootsy, new and old at the same time!

They've got in a bit of trouble for making inappropriately supporty noises for Kyle Gass... However amid a storm of protest, they gained a number of extra followers and sold a shedload of merch, the profits of which they donated to Black Lives Matter. So we may have a larger than expected crowd!

Good to Go -Trouble Funk

Warm Leatherette - Grace Jones

Round Midnight - Thelonius Monk

Just found these on BBC Introducing Glastonbury coverage... Not impressed with most other stuff but like these!

We're in Hereford again on 26th July with US hardcore boys Potbelly, and Leeds punks TCCL. Somehow we're headlining!

Knights Templar - Steve Hillage

I'm familiar with Fanny... Proper 70s!
