Take something like this with you?  https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2026642

 

Whilst I detect a little mirth in this suggestion, my initial reaction is, “Ooh, good idea, I could sit on it too!” 
 

Aging bodies suck 😖.

No mirth to be detected - for once it is intended to be a serious and hopefully useful suggestion, you old fart

In which case, thanks for the thought. However...

Harsh 😢, but fair .

Played with the blues band in a tiny pub in Lanark.   Didn't take many people to fill it so an enthusiastic audience of thirty created a great atmosphere.

One downside was the access to the toilets door being immediately behind us.  Two songs before the end of the first set I was aware of a most unpleasant honk emanating from said direction. Thankfully the air had cleared by the start of set 2.  

Man alive, it was grim for a while.

I think I know this pub, played there a couple of weeks ago! The toilet proximity is a constant danger to band members.

Yesterday The Royal Blues, at The Royal George, Soho, that London.

It was an open mic night, the promoter actually said we're too good for that kind of thing now, but he gave the band our first gig so we didn't mind. 

It filled up considerably when we were on, then was noticeably less full for the House band who finished the night off.

We had a new backing vocalist. Myself and the drummer hadn't met her prior to the gig, but she nailed her parts. 

Gear: Korg clip on tuner ➡️ Ibanez UB804 ➡️ Swiff Audio wireless ➡️ TC Electronics BG250

What a difference it makes being able to hear yourself 😆

Footwear: Mfre Bordo Suede Brothel Creepers.

Had a dep gig in a tiny ale house in Chorley, was going through an amp for a change which I've not done in years, enjoyed it even though I made a couple of mistakes (they play every song in a wildly different key from the original) and the TC BH800 and PJB C8L sounded great on stage.

 

Was thinking about swapping out the preamp in my Cort GB Modern 5 but after tonight I'll leave it in and tweak my Fishman DI a bit more for IEM gigs.

Just home from another near 400 mile round trip to Felixstowe today, with the Live Tribute Show at the Spa Pavillion Theatre. Fantastic gig with a full house. Maybe the nice weather/Easter holiday brings them all out? Used the American Performer Mustang for the first set tonight. It punches well above it's diminutive weight. Consider me impressed. The start of the second act saw the Buddy Holly tribute's guitar cable die, but luckily I had a spare cheap lead plugged into a Pitch Black Tuner on a table in the wings, so he only ended up missing half of the Everly's "Cathy's Clown". 

 

Thursday was the Lowther Pavillion Studio in Lytham St.Annes near Liverpool. Another full house and another 2am return home.

 

Thankfully some down time now for a couple of weeks, while I wait for my 85 year old Father to be discharged from hospital after a Stoma operation early last week.
