A podcast chat with Darryl Jones by Kemp and Pratt. IMO worth a listen! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rockonteurs-with-gary-kemp-and-guy-pratt/id1530701242?i=1000584355779

While respecting your point of view, Steve, I would not be happy with that as a punter. So how can I be happy taking money to put the thing together? Paying a singer is a possibility but the jam is a budget one.

Resurrecting this thread, how do you persuade suitable singers to turn up? I have sweet talked any number, only to find they don’t show. Thus by 10pm I am dreading having to ‘play for time’ and spin out the last hour with myself and another instrumentalist doing our best.

That’s my regular rig! 👏

I recognise Liz Truss, who are the other two? 😆

He doesn’t wear an earring…😃

Jack Daniels, surely? (If it’s iced tea, Dave, please don’t spoil the illusion…😁)

My band are about to rehearse with a new drummer for the first time. Given the close relationship between bass and drums, I wondered what your three top attributes would be…

Vegan burgers ARE the wurst! 😂

I used to write for Guitar and Bass magazine (no longer published) and a feature idea I never got into print was about musicians who play in tribute bands. The kind of things I wanted to know: Do you have to be a fan of the original artist, or maybe you become one? How important is it to be visually/musically identical? How much latitude are you allowed? Do you ‘get into character’ or is it just a gig? Does it feel musically limiting, or is it fulfilling your needs? (Maybe you have a side band?) Do you have any qualms about tributes ‘stifling original music’? Have you ever met or been seen by a member of the ‘originals’? What did they say? What is the overriding thing being in a tribute act has taught you? Having done it once, would you do it again? If so, would the musical angle be very different? After initially being snobbish I have seen some great tributes, my favourites being ELO Experience (featuring @casapete), Limehouse Lizzy and Purple Zeppelin. Would be interested in people’s experiences…

Fight it off with your hairbrush 💀

And that's just the phone… 📱

Zombie thread resurrection!

The Frampton Comes Alive effect! Man, nearer to home, were similar.

I just can’t get it out of my head😘

That’ll do for me. Yellow card!

At least you resisted the pressure to wear a curly wig and spangled frock… 💃

Wish I had been around to see this!

Presumably the Cheese and Grain, Frome? Or are you keeping it a secret in case we pee on your leg?😂

I googled and it said Anthrax. I was in mid reassessment when you responded…😂

Think I will stick to the Dog and Duck…😂
