  1. I think Alvin Lee was from Beeston bit not certain. I knew someone who claimed he lived next door to him in his younger days.
  2. Played a local festival yesterday, late afternoon spot. We seemed to go down well and the rain managed to hold off!
  3. He lived locally to me although I didn't know him personally, a couple of my friends did. RIP Bernie.
  4. Just back from Cowperfest, a local beer festival. Good crowd although we had a good downpour right on our last number.
  5. Another Bass-Lead-Amp player here. Works for me in my current band.
  6. Looks an amazing venue.
  7. @Gasman How is the HB "Mustang" weight wise and is there any neck dive?
  8. The Rock Formation returned to The Ashton Club in Bicester last night. Was a great night with an appreciative audience, looking to re-book us again.
  9. We had a woman whose trousers and knickers kept dropping down somewhat at the back exposing a good bit of her backside at a gig a few years back!
  10. Saturday night saw us return to The Victoria Club in Aylesbury. Room is up stairs (no lift) so not a good load in and finding somewhere to park a nightmare. Small audience, but we seemed to have been well received. Our drummer was not available so his brother depped and did a good job.
  11. Great night at The Prince Albert in Milton Keynes, really good appreciative audience and great feedback. Re-booked for December.
  12. Great gig at The Eager Poet in Milton Keynes last night. Plenty of singing and dancing!
  13. Although never played the song live I did try and learn the solo in Bullfrog Blues by Rory Gallagher. I think I failed pretty miserably though!
  14. I think we've all had gigs like that unfortunately Blue.
  15. First gig of 2023 saw us return to a localish social club last night. Was a fairly good turn out and we seemed to go down well. We are back there again in September.
  16. Nice one! You competing with Martin Turner on the trouser front?
  17. Sad loss. Only saw him once with Clapton. He certainly blew Clapton away that night.
  18. Our drummer is trying to find an app on his phone to work his kit remotely!
  19. Played a local social club which was OK but quite a poor turnout. We played well enough and the few that were there seemed to enjoy it. Onwards to 2023!
  20. My regret is never catching Rory Gallagher.
  21. Love some Alex Harvey. Saw SAHB back in the 70s in Nottingham.
  22. Played a social club last night that we last played before lockdown. Not a bad size crowd and we played well with a dep drummer (our usual drummers brother).
  23. Yes, I heard he had retired over there. I met Martin a couple of times also.
  24. I saw Stray a few years ago supporting Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash at Marshalls in Bletchley. That was when your predecessor Stu (who I knew vaguely through a mutual musician friend) was playing bass.
  25. Watched an Arena documentary on BBC4 last night about Chrissie Hynde. I guess it was a repeat but not certain Although I am not particularly a fan I found it very interesting and well worth a watch.
