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?

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.

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 🤘 -

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. -

Many. The focus effect was applied in editing as a bit of a giggle. The original doesn’t have it 😀- 81 replies

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....- 81 replies

Kate Davis’ new album ‘Trophy’

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

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

I’ll buy it for you if I win the Euromillions tomorrow 👍 -
Some of you maybe already be aware of Kate, but her new album ‘Trophy’ came out the other day and I can’t stop playing it. For those that may not have picked up on her, she has a bit of a complicated musical backstory which I’m sure you can Google if you’re so inclined. She came to my notice through the Postmodern Jukebox with a cover of All About That Bass in which she sings and played double bass (check out the solo).... Bizarrely, this enormously popular video sadly became her undoing for a while. She became contractually entangled with a label who wanted to market her as seen in that video and would not budge on anything else. She had so much else to offer and ultimately it was their loss. Now free of any obligations, she has produced her first proper solo album and it’s a gem as far as I’m concerned. Here are a couple of tracks.... Kate and her band are over here in January. As fate would have it, she plays Islington, London on Jan 25th, the same day I’m in Islington watching The Aristocrats! We will be travelling to Brighton the following day to see her there instead.

Just saw this on Facebook. Those Hot Pink, Dorado and Shadow Gold basses look lovely. Must resist 😀 https://shop.music-man.com/catalog/category/view/id/176/?p=2

I do have a wig courtesy of @martthebass, but it appears not everyone is ‘fully committed’ to the wig concept as I first was. I have been in contact with the owner of the pink shirt JD wore on the day who sent me some detailed images of it’s design. I researched getting the shirt recreated, but it wasn’t half as easy as I thought it was going to be, so have had to set that aside. I’m aware that the bass itself is an extravagance given the nature of the gig, but I’m so glad I had it made as it’s an absolute belter plus I finally have a P bass that I actually like.
