Put together session band? 😎

Nope - you beat me on this one ! 😎

Let's do something different (I dare you not to smile)

Nothing to add -

A tune for Friday night -

I see your two & raise you this -

I built a pair like this for Chris Squire ................ 😎

Currently I've a couple of Barefaced Dubsters (2x15) fed off a 300watt Matamp slave (the green one with the Maltese crosses on Google images) with K120 bottles - and an electronic crossover feeding an Ormat 100 to two Mackie C200 - The weight saving is enormous and the total 'heft' alarmingly similar to the old set ! 😎

1) Take one of these = 2) Add two of these in the same box - Put the two cabinets of this joy one on either side and play something gentle like Cher 'Believe' at full tilt using a 200watt Ormat ........... ................ nice .................... 😎 (For the avoidance of doubt, the speakers are G18c Celestions rated at 100watt each and the horn is a 3cell Vitavox with a SR1 driver, rated at about 45watts)

This is a delight, deserves a visit !

"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" is a popular song by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David that was written for the 1968 musical Promises, Promises. There are numerous reggae covers - I like the John Holt take on this ...

Welcome to the Sunlit Uplands ... 😎

We did this about a week ago? Spanishtonians did the original ska, but this version is (I think) by Keith and Tex -

Fixed............... 😎

I knew I'd heard that before I got the Pat Kelly (which I used on the show) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Then_You_Can_Tell_Me_Goodbye

1969 - Pat Kelly ? Or Heptones 1969 - ?

Sound familiar ting ?

Nice, Wiki gives us this - Bob Marley and the Wailers (also known as Bob Marley & the Wailers) were a Jamaican reggae band led by Bob Marley. It developed from the earlier ska vocal group, The Wailers, created by Peter Tosh, Marley, and Bunny Wailer in 1963. By late 1963 singers Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined on. By the early 1970s, Marley and Bunny Wailer had learned to play some instruments, and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), had joined the band. After Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left the band in 1974, Marley began touring with new band members as Bob Marley and the Wailers. His new backing band included the Barrett brothers, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wya" Lindo on keyboards, and Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The "I Threes", consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Marley's wife, Rita, provided backing vocals. Simmer Down apparently dates from 1963, I never knew that !

I started off in about 1964 and cut my teeth playing Buster (bluebeat) which went into ska and then to Rocksteady..... Enjoy -
