@maxmckee has a wanted add up for an S3 😃👍🏻

Thanks mate 👍

Here’s one from Nice taken earlier this year....

Another one from the HRH Tenerife. Tim Skold’s double bass. Nice paint job.

Looks like Wembley ‘86 might be a goer. I shall report back in due course.

Mrs.HKH and I are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tenerife at the moment and as a regular visitor to Hard Rock establishments, I’m always drawn towards the basses on display.

I thought it might be a nice idea to share the basses in cafes/hotels worldwide and what might be known about them.

I’ll start with this one which is the first instrument I saw whilst checking in today which is in the main lobby at the HRH Tenerife.

There is currently a bass in the Marketplace that I am tempted by, so would be prepared to accept sensible offers on this whilst that bass is still available.

I'd play your normal bass and donate the price of this bass to charity.

Great idea Chris. About six months too late, but a great idea.

I’ll tell you what, ignoring for one moment all the time, effort, cost of fuel, rescheduling of other band and family commitments etc etc that I’ve personally put in for this event (which is the thirteenth by the way), I will match any donation you care to make. Let’s set the cap at the price of the Deacon P bass I had built. Let’s call it a round £1000 shall we? 

Full set, minus a couple of bits between songs....

So, The Last Resort gig happened last night and we had a blast. The Deacon P sounded fab - not just my opinion, the sound guys thought so too 😀.

I'm not quite sure how many thousands we raised. I think they're still counting. Hard to choose a favourite from the 6 songs we played, but this one does have a certain grin factor to it.

Yes, certainly did the job 👍

Thanks Paul. Good to know all the hard work paid off. Really weird start to the Queen set. Apparently there were no monitors switched on which is why no one apart from me was aware that the keys had started playing 🙄. Other than that, I thought we smashed it 🤘

A couple of photos.

OMFG! What a gig!

I will post video and photo’s  in due course, but what an amazing night.

Sold out!

Boom 😂

I’ve just been informed that The Last Resort has now raised in excess of £30,000 for charity over the years it has been going. 
I have to say I’m feeling incredibly proud of what we have achieved.

How many hats do you own if it's not a rude question?

Great photo once you get past the bokeh effect.

Many.

The focus effect was applied in editing as a bit of a giggle. The original doesn’t have it 😀

Great picture!  I'll mention it to Nat when I see her next 😁

Oh, it’s on our FB page already. She knows 😂

We were in the studio on Sunday to do some recording for a new EPK.

We also had some new photo’s taken.

I would highly recommend Clarissa Debenham Photography if you are considering having some professional photo’s done.

We have worked with her many time’s and she is consistently excellent in every way.

Here is an outtake from Sunday’s session. Love these guys....

Ticket sales for this have been the best yet.

400 advanced sold and the venue cap is 500, so if you’re coming, buy them now!

Tickets available for the above gig this Friday.

Support is Yankee Rose who I am also depping for.

Gonna be a busy weekend (see other post for 23/11).

Tickets here....

Thanks for sharing.. 😊

Really good stuff ; I like her voice and the songs are haunting and compelling. 

Very much so. Not that I want to, but I can’t get ‘rbbts’ out of my head. Proper ear worm.

Nice to see what she's up to these days. I saw her sit in with some friends quite a few years ago a few times in a local hotel bar, just before she moved to New York. Her parents were very cool and had their heads screwed on straight, but it seems that she still had to pay her dues and find her own way anyhow.

Her father died a little while ago. I think he would have been very proud of this new chapter of her life.

I think this is probably my favourite from the album.

Bump.
