    The side issue (which no-one wants to consider) is where any 'profit' from this stuff ends up. Leaving aside the HMRC interest, a lot of online money funds drugs, prostitution, terrorist activity and all sorts of other stuff that you wouldn't think was ok. ....just sayin'....... 😎

    I used to be in the gaming machine business - this is illegal, end of - Facebook is stuffed with this stuff and the 'operators' never seem to get pulled - maybe it's too much like hard work for the Authorities? 😎

    Last gig I did in Reading was about 1972 (!) it was a useless place then, I'm guessing it's got worse......... 😎

    If you missed this on Beeb 4 last night, it's on I Player, for once, a good look at the genre.......... 😎

    Others on here know far more about mixers than me, but Behringer seem well thought of- as for foh speakers, I'd look at Barefaced (natch) and Crown amps - light & loud........ 😎

    Does anyone really care ? 😎

    Plug in away from the main hall - kitchen cooker outlets are great, usually 15a rating...........I stopped doing gigs at places that I couldn't get round these show killers many years before I retired. 😎

    Some peeps (not I, obv) would get it sent as a present............ 😎

    Copydex liberally applied to a patch layer of old net curtain - probably last forever - I did this on both sides of the cone on a 15" Tannoy & overdrove it for another five years........... 😎

    Spend 500+ quid on gitar - 770+ on decent amp system, 8k+ on estate car - clear about 40quid a night.......... ....you do the math........... 😎

    Maybe I'm old (maybe?) but I'm not seeing much of a problem with that, given a couple of minutes I could come up with stuff that made that look positively Disneyesque.............. 😎

    As I said........... 😎

    Many years ago I dig a regular gig with half my amp stack on standby until I actually walked on to work - at that point the sound went from moderately loud to full chat.............my stage guy just threw the switches......... 😎

    Then, of course, we can be mortally offended by Country Joe (Fixin' to die rag) Bobby Darin (Mack the knife) At this rate we'll be back to Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson strangling Sing little birdie...... 😎

    And the first BBC colour tv show was ? .......... The Black & White Minstrels ............ (you really couldn't make it up) 😎

    Aah, wrong song - I was remembering the row in America, never mind, whatever........... 😎

    Umm - as distasteful as you may find this, the 'age of consent' in the UK is 16 (& Ringo Starr did, imo, a fantastic job on this.........) 😎
  23. taunton-hobbit
    You're verging dangerously close to Skanks territory.......... 😎
  24. taunton-hobbit
    It's probably me, I caught Go West (which was ok)- liked the band, thought it was great that all those pensioners could stand, let alone punch out a good toon......... but the rest was just 50 quid a pop.......... 😎
  25. taunton-hobbit
    Where's Skank when you need him ? 😎 Aah my bad - he's lurking on page one...............sorry !
