Likewise, but the problems are at the booking stage.

Yes, it's small bits of furniture I need to send out. Will talk to them soon, so many thanks for flagging them up.

Well I now love them, as if they hadn't let you down I wouldn't have found Lenspeed who look to be exactly who I've been looking for for about 4 years! But yes, that's poor. Funnily enough, I've been let down by UPS booking direct, but always had good service from them when booking through an aggregator.

I may be wrong, but aren't the US still a bit more cash based for things like this?

I did a gig and only knew the band had been paid £700 as the best man asked me about paying as I arrived. I got £100 as part of a 4 piece. Queried it with BL and never got asked to do another gig.

Really useful but of knowledge. Thanks Ped.

That was a long, thin package. I thought the usually coiled them?

Nice top!

Frank that is an absolute gem of a review.

Stuart Maconie sitting in for Craig Charles on the Funk & Soul show last night played some absolute belters, including this from Eddie Kendricks:

No mention of Chris Barber, one of the most important influencers, bring the American originals over and putting shows on.

Seriously fabulous groove in the breakdown on this from Curtis Mayfield:

Zombie thread revival, but I knew we had touched on bassist/producers and I've just come across one who has, IMO, helped to create a folk/pop masterpiece. Daniel Bengston is a multi-instrumentalist and producer of the latest First Aid Kit album Palomino. Yes, the duo are great, but he lifts the two female voices/acoustic guitar format to new heights.

Yes. Sort of nicked it from North Hants Tyres. Took me a couple of looks to work them out.

I would suggest that the Dog & Duck is the ideal place for this, as you can get the feel at very low volume.

Northants to North Hants eh Pete?

Reminds me of the old Mavericks.

Plenty before that. Rickenbacker Ken Roberts from 1935.

Four cigarette holders! Cracking job.

Said it on another recent thread about this genius - just look at his feedback. Who was it that coined the phrase 'one born every minute'?

John Mayall built a large box for the roof of the Bluesbreakers van which he slept in. Sounds like your suggestion is perfectly reasonable!

Just realised this was 15 years ago. Trouble with getting old, everything seems so recent 😏

Add Wunjo to your list. Well worth asking there.

Nice work Mike. How did you sort impedance having lost 2 speakers?

Have a look at the pinned thread in the repairs and technical section of the forum. You may find a helpful member locally who is confident/competent enough to do a truss rod adjustment for you.
