AndyHawkins Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Hi there my name is Andy and I hail from Headingley in Leeds. I found this board quite by accident and thought I would join up and see what was going on. I used to play bass in a signed band called Midget (about 10 years ago - don't worry I doubt anyone will have heard of them) and now I work both as a live sound engineer (current job The Pigeon Detectives) and a recording engineer, as well as playing bass on a variety of sessions. Current weaponry includes Fender US Precision, Musicman Sterling, Ashdowon ABM500 and 4 x 10" cab along with Sansamp Bass Driver. Anyway that's enough for now! Cheers! Quote

Mart[/quote] Hi there. I thought it was a pretty good gig to be honest. The crowd seemed very up for it considering that it was a Sunday evening. We've been out on this tour now for over 5 weeks so the band are playing pretty well every night with only the occasional forgotten lyric/cock up lol. Is anybody on the board coming to any of the remaining gigs? If so come over to the sound desk and say hi! If you're really nice I'm sure I can snaffle the odd free beer! Quote
thedontcarebear Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 What was that studio behind Live Music called? Quote
Hit&Run Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 My old band (the hit and runs) supported the pigeon detectives at Selby Town Hall on 26-05-06. Were you doing their sound at that gig? Cheers. Quote
