This is the problem with appearing at venues with absolutely zero idea of the mechanics of gigging. I was once told by some cretin 'I know about entertaiment' my reply was something on the lines of 'yup, paying to get in, you mean'........... 😎

Are they any good for metal? 😎

We have something similar in Brixham (Devon) - the 'new' street was built up over the old harbour area - I've been in the basement of one shop that is on top of the ground floor of an old Harbour property - complete with window/door frame - the shop next door has a deep flagstone 'cellar' & the building is supported by an old ships mast. 😎

Mike Ashley wants everything as a freebie - I don't suppose he's bothered either way. 'Fairy Godmother' of the High Street he ain't, unless it's on his terms. 😎

Got it back a month or so ago - my amptech reckons it's one of the nicest transistor front ends ever - the 120 valve chassis is pure Mathias........... 😎

My ex used to collect Morrisons bags for life - we must have had almost 50 prior to the divorce.................... 😎

^ ^ ^ S'only them wot runs the train set going through the motions - it shuts up the mob howling for something or other......... 😎

I had some bird at my old accountants quote me just shy of 300quid to taxi my accounts back to Devon from Buckinghamshire I suggested they were posted (about 3 quid) and she seemed to find this somewhat strange......... not as strange as the fuel & pollution involved in sending a hire care on a 500mile trip......... (I've got nice sensible accountants now) 😎

It's a very average JB offering, he churned this stuff out like a factory........... 😎

"8 x 4" neodymium full-range woofer" from the Evox 12 online blah I'd have grave reservations about a firm that can't even seem to write its own publicity..................... 😎

I've just shuffled my living room about, having put a load of Orange/Matamp/Crown/Marshall up on the Bay (usual idiot timewasters....) I'm now down to my very own personal sound choice: 2x Barefaced Dubsters powered by a 300 (1970?)(Mathias) Matamp slave (KT120 x4) 2x Mackie C200 tops powered by a 120 (1969) OrangeMatamp (EL34 x 4) 1x Focusrite Compounder 1x Generic frequency splitter 1x Numark CDN77 twin cd deck 1x Denon DNX500 preamp/mixer Nothing 'solid state even comes close ...... this set's a Keeper.........I'm playing Joe Gibbs (reggae) as I type I think I'm in love........... 😎

I have to admit that I was puzzled as to why this wasn't shoved as an 'open mike' It's just another cheapskate non-event. (my opinion, other opinions are available) 😎

The Highwayman Hotel, Kidlington, Oxford. Richard Turpin lives !!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁

It's the assumption thing - I'm old & white.......people will insist on asking me what music I like.......... Bunny Wailer / Lee Perry / Dennis Brown / Fred Wesley are among the answers that result in a puzzled expression. 😎

When I was at school, I had a part-time job with a firm in North London who specialised in muso gig kit. One of their favourite party pieces was to cut Hammonds in half (lengthwise, obv) to make them transportable. I'm sure that one G Fame had one done by them (+ Zoot Money? - there were a few converted, but I can't recall for who) (anybody help?) 😎

Prince of Wales, Kingsbury, sometime in 1964 - 'worked' for 'AFO Top Dancing' - otherwise known as 'The Arthur Forrest Organisation' what a pile of cr*p that lot were - long gone, neverforgotten, never again............. 😎

There's a tradition locally that any 'outsider' gets duffed in the 'local' - no outsiders? The locals hit each other.......... ad so infinitum............. 😎

I'm on here every day, and have been for five(?) years - in that time I've complained about posts by TWO other members- draw your own conclusions? 😎

I had one idiot who took two years not to fix something (!) Two months is quite long enough to merit a polite enquiry (sorry to bother you but..............?) 😎

Aah that was the name - I saw AS once (briefly) on the New Year'celebration' the guy looked (and sounded) drunk as a skunk - toe curling embarrassment that should have been pulled there and then (wot no backup plan? tsk tsk) 😎

S'probably the evolution of New English - or summat.......... 😎

I had one of these (or its brother) built into a nasty Jap 'Orange'amplifier about twenty years ago (no, not THAT Orange) very pretty.........I'm wondering whether I want another (very different from 'need') 😎

It seems that the bouncers got him, but the muso chose not to press charges.......... not necessarily a good move that, this sort of stunt needs stopping, but I can see that the singer might be frightened of repercussions........difficult. 😎

I'm bored with ordering stuff on EBay that's flagged as 'in stock in UK,' to find it arrives (eventually) having been posted in China. 😎
