Actual reason is Facebook live has stopped allowing landscape video 😞 This is all way above my head. I'm one of the thicko's that just shoot in portrait until someone explains it all to me. I have no idea what SQUARE sensors are. ? I'm on my first smart phone. Dave Edited September 16 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most detect which way up the phone is and give landscape or portrait. In the last several months or more, Farcebook decided that 'live' video has to be prortrait so people watch it on their phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway through the old guy steps up and thrusts a number into my hand and says, “You’re incredible, the best bass player I’ve ever seen, I want you on my new album, call me.” It was the guitarist from Mott the Hoople. random Sounds like what my band should use as a name.

Bluewine Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 10 hours ago, Gasman said: Mustang Sally were booked in the George pub, Mere in Wiltshire again (well, three of the band do live there) and it was Carnival night once more on the Saturday just gone. The roads through the centre are closed at 18:00 to protect the crowds on the street and let the floats lumber their way through to the parade starting-point. Very sensible of course, but for me living nearly 50 miles away it meant leaving home at 16:45 and even then only just getting through the barricades with two minutes to spare. Setting up in the pub was very relaxed as our first set was only due to start at the end of the parade (about 20:30), so sound-checks were actually possible. Unfortunately those checks were early doors in a quiet corner of the main bar that later filled to bursting point with a crazy scrum of singing, dancing and somewhat leathered punters, so my sax set ended up with my lungs turned up to 11 even with the radio mic - see video... Time went quickly, we managed to finish at exactly 23:00 as per the pub’s licence, the landlord immediately booked us for the same gig next year and I was actually home by 00:30, happy to slurp a post-match cup of tea, but not so impressed with the sturdy welcome-home present my cat had left for me in his litter box… WhatsApp Video 2024-09-15 at 18.22.44_ff42baf4.mp4 Sounds great and the place looks packed.

He's one of these guys you don't have to tell anything. He's got a good 50 years of playing behind him. He just gets behind his kit and goes into automatic groove mode.

Sounds great but defo not too fast. Original is 152 bpm and you guys were around 140. Nice mix, can you have a word with our guitarist who does our sound. He seems to hate bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it was only the second time our vocalist has unleashed the capabilities of his new mixer, and a house PA as well! Basically he did the full 'sound out with white noise' then used presets. Drums were just kick and snare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksterphil Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Gig last Saturday at a festival called Nashville Days in Swinford, Leicester. Headliner was Luke Combs UK Tribute and we were one of the support bands. Decent crowd, it was a ticketed event and had sold out so they were all up for it. The sound on stage was a bit meh as we were in a marquee but as backline was provided it was an easy set up. My Mike Lull P4 did the business as usual, not sure what make the rig was but it sounded ok. Some ladies did some line dancing while we were playing which added to the atmosphere, particularly when we played one of our own songs called 'End of the Line' Edited September 18 by ricksterphil 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 A nice peaceful open mic night at the Shirley British Legion, as per normal Wednesday. It's possibly the penultimate night there, as Shirley Legion might be shutting up shop due to financial difficulties. Played a couple of my songs, accompanied a couple of people on bass doing a few blues songs. The difference between country music and blues music: Blues songs all sound the same, despite the best efforts of the bass player. Country songs all sound different, despite the best efforts of the bass player. Anyroadup, talking to the barmaid, she said she was having to clean up sick and it was making her feel ill. The guilty party was being rather mouthy and towards the end of the evening he got in one elderly woman's face, a situation which bubbled along for a short while before one of the performers punched him in the face. The two participants were separated, at which point the drunken vomity punchee rang the police and very loudly complained, and said it was racially aggravated (it wasn't, he was being a total dick regardless of race). He said he'd been hit by a bald bloke, at which point I may have upset him slightly by saying "I am Spartacus!" (followed by several other bald blokes also saying "I am Spartacus!". I'm not sure what the outcome was, the performer who'd delivered the punch left before the police (one copper) arrived, the copper had a look at the CCTV, and as I was leaving somebody (I'm not sure if it was the drunken punchee, seems fairly likely) was being escorted to the police car. Well, that was an unusually eventful night. 8 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
