[quote name='fingers211' timestamp='1435758806' post='2812181'] Interesting photo, she obviously has a matching set at home....... [/quote] I think you'll find HE has 2 small parachutes strapped on the wrong way round

Well done Paul , well done all , and thanks for the last 5 minutes reading the thread , many lols

Loads of spare and alternate cabling , connectors and adaptors , last gig we were able to put the hosts lappy through the PA , with a lash up , and they were chuffed, but if I had a catastrophic bass failure , I would go to the bar and watch the rest of the set from there

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1435681517' post='2811408'] Out of curiosity I've just compared 3 live performances of 'Ship To Wreck' (Glasto, Later with Jools, GMA) with the original studio version on youtube and she sounds like she's singing them all the same to me, ie what was recorded is pretty much what you get live (though the mixes naturally differ a bit). Obviously just me then...as I wrote earlier I'm not that fussed about her one way or the other, strong voice though as Bassassin pointed out. [/quote] In all honesty I heard ship to wreck (which I like) on radio 2 at lunchtime , and commented that something sounded off , and the youngster said it was the live glasto recording , it was definitely different , maybe not massively, but definitely different to the studio version

Buy a dishwasher............. my hands go soft as a babies bum every time I wash the dishes

I paid my last Thomman Bill with a card and paid 3% currency change charge of about £5.00 , that said they sent some UK kettle leads FOC , I whinged at them last time for not sending UK leads and they said I could buy them , er , no thanks .

Well I have just had a very enjoyable couple of hours sitting in the garden with a couple of beers , headphones on trying to work out some rationale in order to cast my votes . I love the way vocal is quite prominent this month, I also think thay there has been a lot of thought and work gone in. Excellent work to all . I think I will struggle to get in , for the next couple of months though if I'm honest , I have shed loads to do at work, a new kitchen to keep SWMBO happy and holidays to take , so I think something is going to have to give . Unless next months photo grabs me reeeeeal quick Fair to say my photo library won't get raided this month but I am very happy that a few thought enough of it to offer it some votes, many thanks .

Great picture of the henge , it looks awesome! Our gig was a 30th party , and everyone was outside on the balcony and in the gardens of the clubhouse for the first set , apart from the kids , son we played to them. A few came in our Adele number so we shuffled the set to keep them there for another 3 songs before our break. the second set was much better as it got dark and the bands lights made more of an impact for the party atmosphere. I was using a couple of extra LED cans and bought a Ryger foot controller and I reckon that when I get a bit more familiar with it ,it will be brilliant . We blooded a couple of new ones which went down quite well and at the end the hostess decided that she wanted a photo of herself wearing my hat , then my shirt , I had a spare T so that was cool , but she loved it. we have a 3 week break now as we have a few holidays lined up then 3 packed at the start of August , then September weekends are chocker

The nephew got VIP for this , he really enjoyed it , I keep trying to blag my way with him , but his dad can't even get in on the show so I come way down the guest list

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1434983445' post='2804395'] Saw this once at a comedy club, the comic held up his hands for quiet, looked straight at heckler and said "let's all wait for her to think up a really good heckle" [/quote] Sorry dude , can't help you , you're the one being paid to be funny !

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1434809648' post='2802987'] Now then, now then, now then...... I'm working on something but I've been travelling a lot with work so I may not get it finished. Hopefully though. Fingers crossed. [/quote] Just thinking on , I could let you re-do the vocal on mine if you like Now, if that doesn't get you pulling your finger out , nothing will

[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1434859363' post='2803341'] No. I'm always wary of coming off like an arse in situations like this, and I'm very conscious of how this looks from their side - some random bloke from a pub audience telling them how to use their gear. It's the kind of thing which turns up in the 'How was your gig last night?' thread on here all the time! They also had a table full of WAGs and mates with them, plus a few people who were there specifically to see them, who were lapping it up, so it didn't seem as if it would have landed too well. So frustrating though, particulalyr as, if I put my 'producer's' hat in, I could also have given them some input on the arrangements and general performance too! I would definitely have suggested the guitarist swap his semi for a telecaster, or something solid bodied and suitably 'cool' - and whether he could be persuaded to do so or not, certainly go for an overdriven Muddy Waters type sound - which would have worked far better. I don't know if they were going for a kind of Eddie Cochran/Rockabilly guitar sound, but it didn't come off - not aided by DI'ing the guitar : far better to have played with a small back line amp, which would have taken a lot of the mush out of the PA sound too, as it wouldnt have been competing for the mid range. [/quote] I think it is one thing to offer some help with the overall sound that you can hear at the back of the room , but telling them they are using the wrong type of guitar and have the wrong image would be a touch indelicate

Sat waiting to play at a Welsh rugby clubs summer ball , there is a guy called john devereux going on forever about rugby stories and we are supposed to be done by 12.00 and I don't think we will start until 11.30 . So I reckon we will just have time for a few verses of 'swing low sweet chariot'. Do you think we will get out in one piece

cheers , there are loads of daft rhymes in there , I actually looked at some of the rapping technique , a lot of it is very clever , I can't listen to much of it for very long, but clever nevertheless innit

cheers young fella my lad, I have now had a listen through to all the others so far , and yes , some superb stuff in there , very listenable and enjoyable. well done all so far

Cheers Dad Well I don't think I can give it much more, and I have a few more things to do this month , so it will be as it will be .... Lawyer https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/lawyer I hope you enjoy , PS this is the radio edit there is one naughty word which has had a few db cut so as not to prove to rude

write a song called 'get on with it' , every time she shouts it , play a few bars , by the end of the gig it will either be a good laugh or someone will have been kicked out, either you the the heckler

I have had real problems with this one , I had an idea but Lurksalittle had a brilliant idea , but alas it came to nought , but worse than that , I had set the musical scene for her idea and was left to do something with it. I was on verge of throwing the towel in this month as it was so out of my depth, I was getting nowhere and it was really getting me down. I just had one last go at it this evening and have seen a bit of light , so it is game on again . This one is very odd , normally I cobble something up and have a bit of fun , this has felt like hard work , it could be the subject matter of course , but at least I am moving forward with it again

Focusrite scarlet is very simple to use and helps to bring a knowledge that it works easily. I don't know anything about the line 6 stuff , but use the scarlet very regularly.

That looks brilliant , but I am not sure I would get to use it , I am sure it would just reinforce a label of 'all the gear , no idea' on my studio door

I am sorry , but I cannot agree with your opening gambit on this , anyone who submits a composition with me in the field, has the opportunity to laugh /cringe/ or shed a little tear at the shear indulgence of 'amateur rubbish vocalist' in its purist form . The trick is to enjoy the process , and as I firmly believe , it's not my voice that is a touch toneless ...........it's everybody else's ears On an aside , I never listen to any of the entries until mine is done...................................................... only so that when I produce my masterpiece I cannot be accused of plagarism That said , Lurksalittle and her mate are not exactly hurrying with their ideas , so I might yet end up doing my own thing

And further I would say that the pieces that I put up and like the best ,tend to get more listens , one thing that does happen though, is that when I play a tune on soundcloud then it plays another straight after , and invariably it picks one from your playlist Rob

Looking good , and better still ... sounding good , or not sounding at all if that makes sense
