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?

Nah... Colin is still playing his bass and singing the hits in Tenerife.

I was told to dial my own number and the engaged tone was a G. I did this often, and it seemed to work for me ... this was 1972 /3 though, maybe it's different these days.

Very much so Spondz ... When horizontal too!

Thanks for posting this ... I have just subscribed to their Youtube channel and pre-ordered the CD.

That's a cracking song ....I must re-tune to 6 Radio from Planet Rock... I'm getting stuck in that "listening over and over again to your favourite oldies" thing and missing some good stuff. Last time I listened in I discovered Lets Eat Grandma and Wolf Alice...I wonder why I stopped...weird!

Oh we all know that about haggis. I have explained this to several South Koreans, when I worked for Kia Motors UK Ltd and Visited Korea. I have even told a few Ukranians about the short legs on one side of a haggis when i was there in 2004. Oh. and to some Canarians when I lived in Tenerife. Am I a conspiracy theorist? ....that would be exciting!

I'm with you on that ... stuff getting a free Fodera give me 6x !!!

I don't know but... My favourite is Dave Peg being sponsored by Wadworth 6x. It made me laugh out loud when I read it in Bass Guitar magazine may moons ago!

Funnily enough that's one of the few lines I do recognise ,and it's made OF China, not IN China. The rest is still Blah de blah de blah though!. 😉

I have always been like that. I hear the sound of the lyrics, I hear the melody of the lyrics ,but I often don't know the actual words. Trying to learn them on the odd occasion I have taken the lead vocal in a band, has always been the hardest thing for me.

Thank you Mr GAK for the kind review... The cheques in the post. Love Mr Laney.

Look at it this way. If you are female and they don't want any females in the band ( and vice versa...I saw an ad recently for a female bassist wanted for an all woman band),, at least you are aware "up front" and don't waste your time applying. If they go by societies' rules and speak to everyone, they will just not ask you to audition, nobody is any the wiser and you still don't get in the band. Or worse, give you an audition and having spent ages learning the songs, they were just "going through the motions" with no intention of hiring you.

Oh soz spell checker... I got carried away in the moment and forgot a ... Bass solos are still fret wa*king though.

Shirley, your boss being omnipresent and all that ... she could just let you know where to be and when?

And marvellous it would be too. 😉

I've been riling against bass soloist fret w*nking for years. 👍

Fret ye not Major. You are an experienced Bridgefest attendee, as such you have an understanding of the Bridgey estate's lands. This new whipper snapper, whom ,granted, seems to have all the required attributes of a good egg has yet to prove themselves. I am sure Bridgey still values you as a ride on mower comrade.

Shirley it must have come out as it should if his fulfilment was the goal?

* mumble, mumble, bloody hell, how did he spot that from there? ...bloody pedant .. I mean can't a guy spill his kebab in peace these days..mumble, mumble*
