A rather more staid event as it was the first concert given by the two new community choirs (same MD for both). So, the more sedate environs of the local Methodist church. Rep was essentially a mix of music form shows, American Song Book etc. As we're new groups, we don't have enough rep to fill a full concert so some 'filler' provided by a couple of precocious youngsters aged around 8 or 9. Whilst both were extremely good (the young pianist was scarily good) I could have done with that tbh. One of the stalwarts of the local music scene provided some very different stuff with a mix of folk/jazz improv type stuff - duets on various combinations of piano, flute, violin, tin whistle, and later on a small Gamelan set-up... And the issue is when you have 'guests' they tend to do too much.... However, the two choirs did well.

Well done the new singer at her first full gig. We're also seeing numbers down in various venues and owners telling us they've put on free bands but still not busy. At least you guys had a decent audience so that's all good news. Think folks simply don't have the money to go out as much at moment. Dave

Not all covers are good but I’m liking this by Marlon Clarke, better than the original imo , nice Bassline I’ll be adding to my list to play

Sorry but without pics of the 4 young ladies in underwear then it never happened and you were dreaming while playing as we all do. 😂 Dave

Bought a Bluetooth adaptor from Mike which arrived quickly and well wrapped. It works perfectly, thank you.

Bought a pedal which was quickly dispatched and excellently wrapped. Thank you very much 🙏.

Wow I had no idea Warwick used PF. Is this a German or import Streamer out of interest?

True. This is often described as the holy grail of Fender 5 string basses and I've never heard anything negative about the fingerboard in that context. They're so rare however that I've never seen one.

Interestingly, I did recently catch someone just in time, trying to connect the speaker outputs of a powered mixer (1000w) to the line inputs of a house PA system, which were active speakers. I did try to explain the potential results of their actions but they looked at me like I was making a fuss over nothing.

That’s Ashby ….

Thank you for taking the time - pleased it paid off 🙏

yadda yadda..lol

Done.
