Raymondo

Power leads arrived as promised. Excellent communication ...I was given an hour slot for delivery, via text, and they arrived bang on time.

I ordered an EV PA "bundle" on Friday last week. It promised Monday6th delivery in the ad but when I had my order confirmation e-mail the date had changed to Tuesday 7th. That wasn't convenient for me so I changed it to Wednesday ( today)between 09.00 and 13.00hrs. It arrived at 11.30 am..... complete with Euro power leads! I telephoned them and a nice Guy, calling himself Matt ( I have no reason to doubt him), immediately apologised and promised to send two UK ones ,by courier, to arrive tomorrow. I offered to post the others back to them but he said not to bother. Excellent service, excellent communication and, a happy Raymondo so far.

That's weird....I didn't post what you quoted yet it has my name on it!... I posted this :- .....

I recently went to see Danny Baker and Bob Harris on their tour. Mr Baker, whom lived through the Punk movement, touring with the bands, and generally "having a good time" on NME expenses, said pretty much the same thing.

Only for a very brief period of time ( three years) have I earned enough from gigging to make my living. This was only achievable ( for me) because I was living in Tenerife at the time and had a lodger to help with the rent. The five piece band I was in made very little money; by far the largest percentage of my income came from selling my soul to the Devil,ie:- I was in two duos and a trio ,all of whom used backing tracks. I had a great time though because I never was precious about such things. I have even been a Karaoke compare in the past!

If you are not in Ricky's ....you are in mine!

Ok, ok, you've dragged it out of me... I bought this... And NOT because I was a pathetic teenager who fancid Thereza Bazar, I actually quite liked some of their songs. Happy now? I've tried to keep that a secret you know? 😉

I found some recordings of me playing with my good friend Steve McGill. Back in 2004 (I think) recorded at a gig at The Miners Arms, Huthwaite.

Yeah for some reason we got lot's of gigs playing to the Soldiers and Airmen! 😉

Back to the Nineties when I was in a band playing the "military" circuit. I'm not sure which is worse...the hair or the shirt!

A +1 here for Ashdown's customer service. They are excellent. Good luck with the search for gear and good luck to your son for the gig.

I can get a train Direct to Cardiff from Nottingham so I would be tempted!

Erm ....nah! I'll go to the pub thanks. 😉

OMG.... I didn't think I did GAS! * Thinks * Which kidney can I spare?
