Has the video and the spread been sorted out yet, or did I perhaps miss something — or am I just being a bit too impatient?

As would Darren....

Umbrella - Rihanna

A teacher, maybe?

Thought Rush might do better, but that’s exactly what a Rush fan would think.

I had a Sessionette with a 15" element, but boy when I connected the amp to a Marshall 4x12" slanted guitar cab! That was bass! (We didn't play very loudly. TE was way too expensive.) The next (or the next) amp was a Peavey Databass (15", 450 W), but as it was much louder, it was also very heavy and cumbersome to carry. I liked that Sessionette: never had any issue with it.

Is Sudbury within reasonable distance to you? Robbie Gladwell comes highly recommended .....I believe he was "The Guitar Doc" in one of the glossy mags before the internet.... I assume he's still doing the business.... Edit. Here you go.... https://drrobertsguitarsurgery.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPORGdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFzTE9RM0k0R2pld3ZWS3VIc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjscjavQNjnHrwNKbf4ZTM9p8pp78TA8cAPwlmA0vb_CYPif2nKfb34gp7Ap_aem_HDbmtFODrqt3WxG5geWCAw

That does look rather nice.

I've been meaning to get the Retrotone upgrade done on my Rockette 30 and received a reply that they are no longer doing the service work. I shouldn't have put it off for so long

Let It Rain - Eric Clapton

Confirmed booking for weekend before Xmas 2026. Think that'll be 5yrs in a row at this venue the Sat before Xmas. Also another confirmed Xmas gig in Dec. At the moment them's the highlights of the yearly bookings so far. Few others through the year as well. Dave

Andertons are great. Terrible taste In colours! Si

Def Leppard had 6 entries (464, 379, 286, 205, 106, and 81) 5 of which were from the '80s, the other from the '90s. Nothing strange or startling from any of those entries, but it's just nice to see them make an appearance. Mark

I often said you probably only need 1 AC/DC album (dons tin hat). Get in! Yep, LZ fanboy. Surprising really as I didn’t ’get them’ until ‘76, when they were almost done, I was a Purple guy (whom I now can’t stand, along with other performers from that time in my life that I adored, I'm looking at you EC). PR play sooo much Queen, who, IMO, weren’t particularly ‘rock’ post Sheer Heart Attack. I do wonder if Sabbath would have finished so high, were it not for Ozzy’s demise; we’ll never know. Finally, big thanks to @rwillett for doing the spreadsheet, donkey work on this, most appreciated.

I have no idea about your mixer, but when i googled it i got this. You should not plug headphones directly into the aux outs of an Allen & Heath CQ18T mixer. The aux outputs are line-level, balanced mono TRS jacks, designed to send signals to other audio gear (like an in-ear monitor transmitter or a dedicated headphone amplifier). They do not provide sufficient power or the correct impedance for headphones, and doing so can result in low volume, poor sound quality, and potentially damage the output stage of the mixer or your headphones This just explains what i was trying to say. If you have found otherwise then fair enough.

My GX-10 arrived yesterday and I've had a tinker today... So far I'm underwhelmed to be fair. I sold a Headrush MX5 to get this and I'm not wanting to knee jerk but the Headrush was so easy to use straight away, the Boss is a little less intuitive. So far I've gone through the presets and none of them are up to much. That's sometimes to be expected but the old Boss GT-10B had bags of great presets so its disappointing they haven't been carried forward. Trying to create my own patches, I can't work out how to do this without having to over-write a preset. The manuals don't go into this but I read somewhere that the initialize function gives a blank canvas for you... It wasn't so blank and it still seems I'm overwriting a patch. Oh well, will keep playing. One thing I want to do is use the EQ blocks to create a "thumpinator" substitute, has anyone done this? I really want to get a good punchy bass sound. I am struggling with the parallel processing. I can get it to give me either both channels mixed or a select between Channel 1 and 2 but never Channel 1 with the option to mix in Channel 2 if that makes sense? I need to figure out more about how to use the limited number of foot buttons to change sounds live. I'm feeling this is either a limitation or I need to build patches next to each other that allows me to do different things... I'm going to keep experimenting and I'm sure I'll get there, slowly but surely.

Oooooo…..that’s peaked my creative interest, I am going to have to try that now!

In the '60s I recall seeing adverts for a harmonica, but instead of the row of holes it had three mouth pieces on. I think it was for playing 12 bar blues on, but again I might be making that up. I have never seen or heard of it since, and over the years have mentioned it but no one recalls it, until yesterday when a friend of mine described seeing the same thing. I have googled all sorts of terms but have come up with nothing. Did we both imagine it? A very rough sketch is something like this....

This is indeed correct.
