    Good luck with this Mick. The only bit of advice/experience I can give is related to travel. I spent a few years in a band playing original songs in a folk style with an interesting selection of instruments; accordion, mandolin etc. Although we got a decent amount of gigs at pubs, clubs and festivals there was a lot of travel involved. Playing a particular genre, there seemed to be maybe only one venue in a town or smaller city that was worth playing in. Suitable festivals might be a couple of hours drive away too. I don’t know if that’s the case for the blues, though. Plus, it will depend on how often you want to play live. Hope you find a way!

    Serious suggestion 'I couldn't turn up because the foh sound was good'. Start with your onstage level noticeably higher tonight before foh levels are set. And make sure your bandmates know that you struggled lasg night and that was because you couldn't hear yourself properly.

    We went with some friends to see their daughter perform in a talent show in a venue on Cromer pier. I don’t really know how to describe what her troupe were supposed to be doing but it was truly awful, an absolute shambling mess! My mate was relieved that only the best three acts from each category went through to perform again in the afternoon. He was just glad that we wouldn’t have to stay for that. Except that there were only two acts in her category, so they got through by default. I buggered off outside and spent the afternoon crab fishing.

    Will DM my order number now. There was definitely something weird going on with this order as it was still shown as 'processing' when it had actually been delivered and I hadn't received any despatch notifications or delivery details.

    I've never heard this before but my goodness it's loaded with truth.

    My band has been around for three and a half years. We could like to play blues clubs and/or festivals as well as the local venues we’ve found suit us - pubs and social clubs seem not to work so well. So my question is - what do these more specialist venues/events require? Original material rather than classic blues? A following to boost their attendees? A commercial recording? How can we take the next step? I’m sure many here have made the journey, and I’d value your thoughts. Thanks

    Down to Fife in a fortnight for what is our last gig in the diary for this year.The sound will have to be better than last night’s or I’m going to seriously think about packing it in.

    Nooo, buy a keyboard amp and sell it to me 😊. Seriously though the mini 15’s are hard to find as well.

    Here's the review I mentioned - couldn't work out how to copy it yesterday.

    I think we’ve got the same mates. 😂 Jokes aside, I’ve done long stints in originals bands and I understand the importance of recording material, so I’ve committed to it and done my best. Although, I often think of something one of our fellows @FinnDave said. A recording studio is often somewhere music goes to die.

    Clearing out a lot of stuff that is just sitting in boxes under my desk. For sale is my EBS Microbass in Bass preamp and DI. Bought it on here a few years ago and used it for a number of tours for FOH and practice at home until it started to momentarily cut out on channel A intermittently but never for long, but long enough to not want to use it for live. Amazing sounding preamp and speaker sim and incredibly versatile. Probably could be used as a practice solution for somebody or perhaps somebody with tech knowledge or an interest in repairing things could fix it. £75 delivered.

    Very, very nice. Obviously a man of taste! 😎👍

    Yes, they definitely do, the Fullerton Deluxe SB2 would be good, but only the newest version comes with a tone control, previous iterations came without that. Sunburst comes with rosewood, black comes with maple, I prefer the sunburst (I have 2 black P's already..) but I'd rather have a maple board on it.

    I wouldn't worry - AI is pretty much replacing session musicians now!

    Back at the Queens Arms in Brixham last night. Its a cosy corner for bands, and our drummer had recently bought a smaller kit consisting of 18" bass drum (down from 24"), rack & floor tom. It really helped fir us in and sounded good to. We did a tribute to Ozzy by playing War Pigs, Crazy Train & Paranoid together in the 2nd set. There was a large group seated in a corner who were really enjoying it and were in fine voice singing along. My usual rig of StingRay 2eq, RM500 & BF210. My Skechers are starting to show some signs of wear, but are comfy and I don't wear by best pairt to gigs. We played well and had a good night.

    I love all the masterbilts.

    I know what you mean. My last recording session was at a mate's house in his living room on his MAC using Logic Pro. There was so much intervention from it that a part of me was wondering what I was even doing there! I felt like I was playing second fiddle to the software.
