His shop was where MyDentist is now. He sold Akai VHS machines and rented out tapes - remember Jock getting Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit On Your Grave from there, my dad had no idea of the content! He only had the shop for a couple of years before getting sick of it, probably by beginning of '83. And the Private Shop was where the Caspian is now - had a black front. And it moved to Brook Street later. It's probably a barber's now...

Private Shop was on Boughton back in 1980ish... I remember the moaning in the Chester Chronicle. And me and Jock used to nip in there for amyl 😁

Didn't that used to be the Private Shop? My dad had a video shop next door!

Keep the 2x10, but buy a 4x10 of the same make and impedance (assuming it's 8ohm). That way you've got teh option of a 2x10 for small gigs, a 4x10 for medium and effectively a 6x10 for big ones. That's what I do!

Noise Annoys! - Buzzcocks

Sly and the Family Atone Fatsack Band Trouble Fu*k Punkadelic

I would say "you must never" if you do it badly. But then I'd tend to say that about any song!

Dig - Muvayne

I fought the law - The Clash

Steak in the Heart - Demented Are Go

I like to Moooove it - Reel 2 Real

Chantilly Lace - The Big Bopper

Toke That

Boybone.

Not being a fan of to-the-note-and-word covers, I'd say do it, but make it your own. Put a spin on it, a different feel, different instrumentation, whatever. But don't copy it. Copies are rarely more than a shadow of the original.

Naz-Tee May'en - Fishbone

Excellent! Haven't seen her since leaving school... Apparently "more than half" of the tickets have been sold - perhaps we'll almost have a crowd. Even Swamp's coming!

Down in the Park - Tubeway Army

I lived with a bunch of Boro-lads for about 4 years - all that "was us fookin wentin or fookin gannin man" sort of rubbed off on me and I occasionally tag it on the end of a sentence. It's not maaan, though!

Toilet On The Sea - Stranglers

The Stool On The Hill - The Beatles

WC you later, Alligator! - Bill Haley and His Comets

Destination Out - Last Exit

Patches are the programmed FX chains... There's thousands of slots available for new ones, you can either put them together yourself or download from various places.

Mine never has, in the 5 years I've had it! It's failed to boot up twice, and both times off/on started it up nicely. Is the software up to date? Are patches too resource hungry, or from a dodgy source?
