Starting this year off with Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats in London in a couple of weeks. Very excited about that.

We're also playing 3-6(ish), which seems an ideal slot. It's a 'Home' gig in our local so it's all very relaxed, and likely to be a decent crowd. Looking forward to it.

I sawing them play in Manchester earlier this year, they were great fun and nice blokes. Worth seeing live, was a real buzz.

RIP. Talented guy. I'd recommend his book '12 Notes', a really interesting read.

Got lots on at the moment. John Grant on Thursday, Amyl and the Sniffers next week, then Khruangbin, Ibibio Sound Machine coming up. Seen Goat and Public Service Broadcasting recently, and debating getting tickets to see Jah Wobble interview/show. What a time to be alive!

I've left that one alone for a while, shown it - and me - some mercy.

Nice! Ta for that.

Thought I'd sit down to say and try to play/sing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash on the bass. Hadn't factored in the weird structure, it's going to take a bit longer than I thought!

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or on the for sale section somewhere, it's part advice request part ad though. Bought two tickets for Bob Vylan, 2 November at the Manchester Academy via Dice. Looks like I won't be able to go, but it not possible to sell them back or put on the waiting list. Is anyone interested, or have any ideas how best to move them on? You'd need to sign up to dice app and I can transfer them. Paid £49, make me an offer. Or tell me to move along if this breaches forum etiquette!

I have the LH500, when I use it it's through a 1x12 (8 ohm) in a four piece, small gigs. Never had it above about 4, it's loud!

First band I was in we had a relationship with a promoter, which involved a threshold we had to meet for a bringing people. It either meant we got a slice of something (never much though) or just a few drinks tokens, but our triumphant final gig failed to pull in the number of punters we'd been tasked to provide, so we somehow ended up having to pay them about £120 or something. What a swizz.

We've finally got round to releasing this, and we are pretty pleased with it. It was a real learning experience recording it, and I'm obviously hearing plenty of things I could have done differently/better! https://open.spotify.com/album/5Bvbr5JPfraBVRZgZLgKH1?si=JIBaDoBPSDuE8uUuWc1GUg

Fender Rumble +1, mine served me well for exactly the use case you describe.
