It really helps control the levels in smaller venues and we've got used to using it all the time now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky that our drummer is reasonably quiet. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Lol. Our drummer is loud but not enough to justify a screen, though I’d be up for that. Everyone always drowned out by two badly EQ’d guitar combos. Just how it is with the boys in my band! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a screen and stick the 2 guitarists in there together maybe? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) My NYE gig was in sunny Scarbados on the Yorkshire coast. Fairly standard dinner dance type do, in a nice hotel. Good to play with my pal Gary Gillyett, along with a singer and pianist. Played for ages - started at 8pm, and finished around 12.30am with barely any breaks, so a bit of a slog. Hotel manager and staff were great though, and really looked after us and our ladies. I was pretty knackered the next day, it's been a while since I've done such a marathon. (Forgot to add - used my lightweight Jazz bitsa into Fender Rumble 100 - proper portable old gimmer's rig!) No beach babes around, but there was Thor, the magnificent walrus you may have seen in the news. Scarborough Council very wisely decided to cancel their midnight fireworks display in case of scaring Thor, but I reckon someone tipped him off as he slid back into the harbour at around 11.55pm to continue his journey North. Happy New Year to all you BC folk! (PS Thor is the one in the last pic.) Edited January 2, 2023 by casapete 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackopie1 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Only posting now, as I've only just recovered, but we had great fun on New Year's Eve. It was the first time I've played my new Tokai Hardpuncher live, and I loved it! I was allowed a turn on sax, too, which is a rare event (probably for good reason...) Our band is called The Enrichments. Happy New Year everyone! Signed Sealed Delivered.mp4 Hold On.mp4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moley6knipe Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’m way late… NYE was a private party at our mate Malc’s place, Langtoft Fen, way out in the flatlands. Great: a captive / friendly audience and we had them dancing all night. Good sound too, even if I do say so myself. Even with plugs I was ringing after 9-12:15 with a couple of breaks. A little three piece gig this coming Saturday, just back line and a vocal mon. Looking forward to it, haven’t played without a second guitar and keyboard for ages! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well the NYE gig was a bit of a surprise. Usually it can be a ‘Larry letdown’ but on this occasion it was pretty good with the crowd in good sorts and lots of dancers in both sets. It was a ticket do but there was just over 100 present and the vast majority stayed until the new year. Just one gig in January for me (on the 7th) then a bit of a break while I have biopsies and what not. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
