Was sort of a joke. ah well.

I do both, with varying degrees of success and not in the particular order you may think… nobody is intimidated by my musicality in either camp…

Played at the Roadhouse in Manchester one evening; we were young and nobody drove. Oasis were tailing off at this point - but still had a big Manc following. The city centre was gridlocked. Drummer and Guitarist got a taxi to Black Friars and sat in traffic. Taxi Driver decided he’d had enough and chucked them out SWR 410 cab & Matching head Marshall 112 combo marshall 212 combo 3 guitars bass pedal bags… so I went to meet them (i worked on Portland street at the time) so. We piled what we could on the 410 cab (luckily on casters) and carried the rest up Market Street… to “ORRRRR YES M8, ITS OASIS” ”PLAY US A SONG MAAAAYYYTE” Etc. was pretty annoying. gig was dead. met the mother of my first born that night. the only thing I don’t regret about that evening is the first born child (who came about 5 years later). evidence of said gig…

“Commie Red”

Damn…miss my SQ. Was a beauty

I’ve slowed down…more stuff is staying…which Mrs T is getting a bit fed up with. i have been allocated a space when Iris’ works are completed “it’ll be just your room”

I’d hoped to travel down as well, but I’m on half term break the week before - they only allow us time off for direct family. Hopefully it’s well attended x

You’re starting to sound like Mrs T…🫢

Looks like a problem only the Gordon Smith can fix…

The A.M - The A.M album - Michael Tighe’s band post Jeff Buckley, I’ve had it on CD 3 times now…lost with each car sale/house move. Fantastic Indie Pop. There is a US based fan who’s uploaded it to YouTube for when I want to hear it.

I think 2 silver would be a bit much.

probably about 2001… I found some tapes of extended jamming when mum and dad sold the family home a good few years ago. Just. Shit. All of it. No amazing moments. Just intertwining noodly shite. Drugs nor drink make me play better. i don’t go past 2 pints if anything when playing now - nothing if im driving.

An album called “The Chancer” by a band called Nash. An album called “Tetra Splendour” by a band of the same name. both early 2000’s

it’s on the right…

Things have developed somewhat…

Bloody local bass players with their “haven’t played it for years” sales patter…

Yeah, I’m out…😂

I bought 2 Hercules stands… It’s to replace some knackered old ones. thats ok?

Point taken - he’s definitely had his name on a few bits though…as someone else mentioned he’s definitely helped sell a lot of gear. I wish him (and any others) well on it - any musician making money is doing better than me - I think my distrokid earnings are at about £30 this year…

Oh good lord…that’s not ok.

Flubbin eck. Thats a bit of gorgeousness right there.
