Blues Trinity @ Charlotte Street Blues Club - Gig done, some pics.

[Oggy]

Hi Fellow Basschatters,

Just a brief ‘heads-up’ on behalf of our band BLUES TRINITY. [url="http://www.lemonrock.co.uk/bluestrinity"]Blues Trinity Web Site - Have a listen[/url]

We’ve a gig tomorrow night 6th July at ‘Charlotte Street Blues Bar’

Charlotte Street Blues
The Blues Bar in London
74 Charlotte Street,
London, W1T 4QH

It’s a free gig in a nice venue and quite a ‘big deal’ for us, we don’t often get the chance to play in London proper.

If any of you guys are at a loose end, we’d love your support.

Blues, Old Style R&B and Blues / Rock.

I know we're not smiling - it's Blues; or as my Misses calls it [i][b]"Music to slit your wrists by"[/b][/i], very unkind .

Great place to play, hope we get invited back.

Hi Bloodaxe,

Kick-off is 8:30 pm, 3 x 45 min. sets, they like to make you earn your few bob .

Entrance is free, god knows what they charge for a pint though , couple of good pubs 'Further On Up The Road' .

Hope to see you.

Tim (BC handle - Oggy )

PS. You any good with a digital camera? I'd sure like a few shots of us on a proper stage instead of crammed into a corner at the usual pub gig.

I drive my DLSR in either Auto or Tulip mode. Point, let it decide it's in focus, pull the trigger & see what develops. I'm no photographer, but get lucky sometimes. Don't mind having a go if I make it, but don't expect miracles

Pete.

ps... FOUTR is on my "banned" list, [u][i]unless[/i][/u] everybody agrees on where the stops are. I've had too many "Further On Up The Trains Now Colliding At Platform One" to want to ever do it in public ever again ever.

Will try and get there if work not too bad. Like to see those Gibsons in action!

"A DLSR" - What the????????????????

Hi, with the greatest respect, turd,

The SG will be there with it's new buddy 'Mustang' as backup. You just gotta see the Mustang; it's so retro even I look like a teenager next to it .

Hope you can make it; if you do introduce yourself - nothing like another bass player to talk to.

Great gig, nice venue, some of my favourite songs too. Cracking!

Great to hear walk in my shadow too - check out the Free version:

Got piles of pics - pm me Tim and I'll send them once I've got them back. Thanks for a great night!

[Bloodaxe]

That was a good night out! Thoroughly recommend 'Blues Trinity' if Rock/Roll/R&B is your thing - Tim, you did a fine job. Liked the way the sets hovered around the Bluesbreakers/yardbirds era - not many bands do that (& miss out IMO). Wish I could have stayed, but was relying on the last bus etc.

I've just about recovered. Not from Tim's low-end assault (like being punched in the chest!), but from the dreadful overpriced lager that was just about all that was on offer. Seeing no handpumps, I asked if they sold Guinness... "We're a Bar, not a Pub" was the rather snotty reply, so I then asked "OK, what've you got that isn't Lager?"... "Bourbon, we're not a Pub, we're a Bar". Beck's Vier - it's cold, fizzy, yellow, has no taste, doesn't appear to get you drunk, but [i]does[/i] give you a headache.

Pete.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for coming along to the gig; I’m really glad you enjoyed the set and the venue. I have to say that the sound guy made it real easy for us; he knew what he was doing. We found all the staff at Charlotte Street Blues Club really good to work with, just hope we get another shot at playing there.

I’ve had a listen to Free doing Walk In My Shadow – what a great version. We’d only been through the Joe Bonamassa version twice before we played it at the gig, might have to change our take on it now I’ve heard Free.

I’ll drop you a PM with my address / phone number; I’d sure like a few of the pics you took. Nancy took a load with her digital camera, got one of you and Pete (Bloodaxe) that I’ll email to you (might even post it on the site – with your permission). I couldn’t help notice that Chrissie took a bit of a shine to you – Mmmmmm .

Thanks again for coming along and giving us your support, we’ll do the same for you when you’re playing.

Tim (Oggy)

Hi Pete,

Thanks for coming along and the recommendation; always appreciated from a player. I’m afraid Bluesbreakers / Yardbirds era is in the blood and just has to be played – showing my age again. Pity you couldn’t stay until the end though, never mind –next time perhaps.

The ‘Low End Assault’ was to make sure that your heart kept pumping when you discovered that there wasn’t any Guinness or a decent Bitter to be had; sort of ‘heart massage’ from the Bass for you .

Let me know where and when you’re playing next Pete; one good turn deserves another – I’ll be along, might even bring a ‘Party Seven’, remember them .

Thanks again, really do appreciate the support.

Hi 3V17C,

I have to agree it’s a great venue to play, the house PA is pretty good and the sound guy (Argentinean chap) made a really good job of miking up the drums and amps and balancing the whole mix. We found all the staff great to work with, Kevin (the doorman) looks great in his 20’s suit and trilby hat makes everyone welcome. The bar staff were good, even gave us a couple of free beers – bonus . The place has a Blues vibe, great venue.

Let me know if your band is playing there again, I’ll come along.
