great to see she is still going strong

Tsk .... Now I have mk1 TRB gas

prefer tp be able to pick and choose pubs - we seem to be having a summer of private party bookings and beer festivals thus far

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1433320039' post='2789966'] Okay, this is for a colleague of mine. His son (14) and friends are in a band and they have been picked to play on a minor stage at a small local festival in a 'Battle of the Bands' kind of format. They have been told that they will need to provide their own PA, as last year some of the bands claimed they were not very good because of the provided PA. Now I have never used a PA and neither has my colleague (both Brass players historically) - so we are not sure what level of equipment this would entail. Does anyone have any experience of this kind of thing and could suggest what type of kit (possibly with examples) that they should be looking at? [/quote] sounds like the organisers are looking for the first act they can find who are able to bring their own PA and then coerce them into allowing it to be used for the whole event thus saving the organisers the cost of hiring a PA out of their own funding

made in probably means it has been assembled at lighting speed by a robotic teenager listening to an ipod which has probably just cost them several months wages crafted makes you think it has been diligently and carefully constructed by a skilled artisan hope this helps

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1433011674' post='2787078'] i like to think my mind is open to everything, apart from 50's love songs and happy hardcore house/gabba, that sh*te can go away. but this stuff is so killer. I'm really researching different bands. these guys are good.

Yes it is a school night but it's an early one from 5.30-7.30pm [url="http://thekick-backs.co.uk"][/url]

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1432443044' post='2781468'] If you have experienced this let's hear about it. [/quote] [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1432452703' post='2781495'] Yes, they will remove an idiot from the audience but there seems to be an ever increasing number of people who don't go for the music, but want to tell their friends that they were there last night. [/quote] not personally towards me/us but i can let you in on an absolutley monumentally staggeringly obscene example of this phenonmenon of which you crave to hear picture the scene a small London venue, table/booth in front of us occupied by two very pleasant young ladies who i can only assume both had the patience of a saint as for pretty much the entire show they had the endure the utter drivel spewing forth from the mouth of their host (young late 20 something sharp suit sharp tongue 'liked what he said and said what he liked' probably with a good city salary and small penis) entertaining them no doubt with his corporate hospitality and attempting to woo them with demonstrating his taste for sophisticated jazz anyways,,, on and on and on and relentlessly on went this monologue went for just about the entire show - i feel here i should also point out that i must be congratulated for my saint-like patience qualities as it was pretty much beyond human endurance listening not only to the most pathetic chat up attempt in history but also tolerating the suffering of the two poor young ladies without intervening in a chivalric manner to save them from a fate worse than anything imaginable) i didnt punch the twat but in hindsight i probably should have and done everybody within earshot a massive favour, and would have probably received a good round of applause too forgot to add - the artist who had to suffer this ignorant fecking eejut talking all the way through the show including all the sublime subtle quiet solo sections was none other than the worlds greatest living guitarist Allan Holdsworth playing at the Jazz Cafe on a plus note there was plenty of loud stuff too to drown out the idot bastard son braying city wide boy w***er and give the two young ladies (and the nearby audience) a brief bit of respite

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1432359076' post='2780756'] i have messaged him many times. he's a cat that is well known. he hasn't got back to me. i don't want to get rid of the bass without his say so. but its got to a point that i have no choice. . [/quote] send him an advisory letter that henceforth you will be charging storage fee and stipulate the daily rate have you tried asking the mods to mediate yet? presumably they would be able to contact him through his regular email address

i knew he was responsible for a fair bit of the classic stuff but never realised his catalogue was this huge [url="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/louis-johnson-mn0000285943/credits"]http://www.allmusic.com/artist/louis-johnson-mn0000285943/credits[/url]

student accommodation! what could possibly go wrong that would piss off the local residents [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1431779685' post='2774903'] The problem is that there is so much money in this sort of development that the odd ten grand here and there to the planning committee barely registers. [/quote] most definitely this - if youve ever wondered just how much profit there is in these ventures just look up the annual returns for a company like liberty living

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1431771591' post='2774768'] I get bored of this genre quite quickly nowadays. I used to be quite into it, but after a while all these bands sound exactly the same. The songs sound the same, the sound of the group, etc. It's just a bit formulaic. It could be Jamiroquai, Incognito etc etc. Just with a different vocalist.....who all sing the same kind of melodies. I kind of feel the same about reggae. [/quote] we do a cover of their cover of midnight/oasis - i can quite see the point of too many notes as it can get a bit busy imho with this sort of funk genre once you get into the groove and start shaking your bootay it is very very easy to 'hear the space for excessive note insertion' but you must resist the temptation to yield hope this helps

No admission fee or ticket required - great pub good food - band's ok too so they tell me [url="http://thekick-backs.co.uk"][b]The Kick-Backs[/b][/url] [url="http://thekick-backs.co.uk/"][/url]

i like them all even the song about the car and the girl but i draw the line at chumbawumbas tubthumping
