Depped for a disco band at a wedding reception that was taking place in a mid sized music venue. Pros: Monitor engineer Biggest mirrorball anywhere Cons: Using PA and monitors designed for an 800 cap venue for a reception with around 70 guests (half of whom are outside chatting/smoking) is overkill and horribly loud. We were on a 4ft stage but with no barriers. 2 or 3 songs in a kid gets up on stage and starts dancing and before I know it parents are lifting their toddlers onto the stage and the laughing and filming while they run around the stage and mess around with the keyboards and drums. At the break I lost my stinky poo and informed the venue the no insurance will cover any accidents so they should inform guests to keep their kids under control or we won't be playing. Some weddings are nice. Some.

It's from the Arena tour, may be a few about on eBay etc. I thought there was a rule against wearing your own band merch?

Love his Alusonic with the red strings - very cool!

I don't know if they showed it on the telly footage but they did the same at the end too

Burna Boy was great. Lots of amazing bassists playing all weekend, everyone seems to have gone gospel chops mad. Kojey Radical and Angelique Kidjo's bassists were especially good. Though I normally love Snarky Puppy they didn't seem to put much into their performance so I wandered off for an ice cream 4 tracks in.

The whole weekend is about her, what more could she want? Good of you not to assume her/their gender though 🙂

Did the perfect wedding, very cool crowd, played what we wanted (anyone done Casa Forte at a wedding before?), Loads of food and drink for the band, started at 6 and home by 9! If only they could all be like that 🙂

Bought a Maruszczyck from Mark. Excellent communication, probably the safest packaging I've ever seen and a pain free purchase. Would recommend!

Nice, I was only aware of the Sonia Rosa version which we play in one of my bands. https://youtu.be/9jcgalXuNa8

That's great but it's spelled descant. You're welcome.

Side ears or a wild frontier?

Is that a discount for having nice legs? The 80's really were a different time...

Apparently the list is duplicated in the back of the guitars guitars guitars book. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0945706006/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_6H35C5SZ9MFH0C6M23QM

Thank you! I've never played one but they look amazing.

Couldn't see any prices on the website - what's a ballpark figure for what you paid?

Kind of disappointed he's not playing it upside down.

Such a weird shot of Jools Holland halfway through!
