Was that humour?!

Squeeze would be my favourite example of humour in music. I also do like a lot of comedy music - Peter Sellers 'Balham', Flanders and Swann, Trimmer and Jenkins, and I don't think the profanity filter will allow me to post the wonderful Dilly Keane.

Thanks for the heads up, will watch later. Really enjoyed a series a couple of years back where Rhod Gilbert went on the hunt for 'unknown' bands.

Just goes to show, like so many things, charisma means different things to different people. I'm not a fan, but sold hundreds of his albums to his huge, loyal fan base who are completely devoted to him. To them he must have charisma by the bucketful.

Guinness?

Webby is a good mate of mine (helped him set this jam up when it started in all places in Saxmundham). Useful for getting to know the scene, but a bit of a hike from Huntingdon.

Enjoying this (getting played on 6Music). Pachyman - young guy making really old sounding dub.

The Gio at the cheapest end of the range is PJ.

This (at least the bit about keeping rest of body warm). I was warned by consultant not to warm hands quickly (hand warmers/hot tap) as that can lead to pain when blood starts flowing again. I have used gloves with silver in them to keep hands warm before a gig. More recently, my overall circulation has improved courtesy of two dog walks a day, and the Raynaud's has been much better.

Ah, that's the name, but it was Andi, his daughter I was thinking of. Thanks.

Forgotten her name, but there's a sax player in Ipswich who will also let rip on a recorder. @Bilbo will hopefully know who I'm thinking of?

Is this a classic case of what you hear onstage doesn't match what the audience hears?

Hmm, didn't get the memo here: https://youtu.be/gwgOUzodS6E

Thought this was going to be about Boris Johnson and Joanna Lumley's debacle...

Love the Bad Self Portraits album, must get a listen to their new stuff. Funny, I found them through a horribly click bait video of a Michael Jackson cover.

Great artist. Lots of his stuff you could possibly know, just didn't realise - from It Must be Love, to Something Inside So Strong.

I'll be impressed when you get it all in a real mini 😏

As for strings, I have LaBellas on my Shoulder 5 fretless P and Chrome's on my fretted bitsa 4 P. I'm going to put Chrome's on the Shuker when I start playing in anger again - really like them.

Interesting line up - especially for sleepy Eastbourne!!!

He is great, and plays a lot with pianist Monty Alexander who takes things even further down the Jazz route.

That's a train well worth catching! Have a blast Raslee.

Newtone Strings do a set. Only used their acoustic guitar strings, but their service and range are excellent.

Love it. Bound body would look gorgeous.
