I haven't sought a medical opinion yet, but I'm fairly sure that when I do the prognosis will be Trigger Finger to the ring finger on my left hand. I would think the cause of this is undoubtedly a few decades of playing bass. From what I've read, it's probably not going to get better on its own and will most likely deteriorate. In fact it has worsened dramatically since the beginning of the year. I've already had to stop wearing my wedding ring as it is too painful and clenching and opening my fist in the morning is a surreal experience as my ring finger just stays glued to my palm. There appears to me a few options regarding treatment, obviously the one I don't want to take is surgery as that will put me out of action for a while. So, has anyone been treated for it and if so, how did it go?

I was a little unsure about this song when it was suggested, probably more from the point of view that I wasn't very familiar with it I suppose. We learnt it and gigged it for the very first time at Chinnery's earlier this month and I think it came out quite well. No overdubs and live as it was heard on the night.

Nick just bought an amplifier from me. A thoroughly pleasant transaction with excellent communications throughout. I unreservedly recommend Nick to everyone. Thanks again.

[quote name='vbance' timestamp='1460206741' post='3023626'] so impressed with what i've heard and seen...have you given The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell a thought? [/quote] Thank you very much. We recorded the whole gig, so more will come out as it gets mixed properly. I thought Lazarus was particularly good. The only song that we have ruled out thus far is The Laughing Gnome. So, Pretty Things is a possibility, as is Magic Dance and just about anything else really.

Well, it's been a while since this thread was started and the set continues to expand. Last week was the first outing for six new songs, one of which I've uploaded a very rough first mix of to soundcloud [url="https://soundcloud.com/warren-byatt/cracked-actor-live-2416"]here[/url]. New addition to the band and playing to a sell out crowd in Saafend.

UPDATE - The Just Giving page has just reached £2,500, which in under a week, is fantastic. Thank you to anyone who has donated, but there is still more to do. If you can spare anything at all, please visit the above link.

Due to circumstances beyond the bands control, this gig has been cancelled. Apologies to anyone that has been inconvenienced. The venue are refunding those who have already purchased tickets.

Dear all, A good friend of ours and fellow bass player has a three year old son (Kyle) who has been diagnosed with Hypertonia. In essence, the signal path from brain to legs is interrupted. He has been accepted at The St.Louis Children's Hospital in the USA for an operation which will hopefully allow him to walk. Without the operation, the possibility of him ever being able to looks bleak. It's a fairly huge operation for the lad and he will be in hospital for a week followed by three weeks intensive physiotherapy. As you can imagine, this will not be a cheap venture; all in around £40-50k, depending on what deals we can arrange for them. All I ask is that you read the story [url="https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/natasha-worland"]here[/url] and if you can, please donate whatever you can to help get Kyle walking. Thank you. Warren.
