    Southampton Guildhall. I think they were just pumping too much sound into the room. Great album though!

    Pretty damn good! Shame their live sound was so iffy on this tour, esp in bass department.

    This is informative on the tragedy. http://kilburnwesthampstead.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-tragedy-at-olive-road.html I can recall Andy Fraser saying what a great player and influence Binky was when I interviewed him.

    I interviewed Gary Moore not long after he sold it and was told he would terminate the chat should it be mentioned ...

    And this is news?😂

    Dag nabbit! My timing is very poor for a bass player...😬 Thanks and best wishes Pete!

    Phil Lynott documentary 10am tomorrow BBC2.

    Enjoyed the clips on Facebook. Would love to be in a band like this!

    Re Alan Hull: I thought there was a telling comment from Ray Jackson about only the songwriter making enough money that crosses over with another thread on the forum… That said, hats off to Rod Clements - the bassist, no less - for penning the breakthrough single!

    Nice to see you back, says this 66 year old. You’ve been missed!

    Saw them at the BIC supporting Def Leppard before they released a record. Couldn't believe they were a serious band!

    I have a Roland bass combo that runs off 6xAA batteries…as well as mains of course. EDIT The same as this (no affiliation to seller).

    Indeed! 1978-79...

    My first band included three Lloyds Bank computer operators. It ended badly...

    Unmissable! Well done Michael 🙏

    Of course the fascinating thing is that Alec John Such didn’t play in the studio, so presumably Hugh McDonald?

    Gone already…

    Great book just published by the man who pioneered the Southern rock genre. Gritty, first hand stories that’ll make your hair curl! Cover price £14.95, yours for £10 posted!

    Steelye Span...

    Saw them in 73. Horslips blew them off stage, and have loved them ever since…

    No real argument here. It’s unusual, minimal with a pick. Hence when Mr Harvie weighs in fingerstyle, the foundation to the music suddenly changes. Maybe only us bassists would appreciate the difference, but the sound man should too!

    Funnily enough, @bumnote(my biggest fan) was at the first gig I played this fretless at. Unfortunately, i slammed the car door on my left indexfinger. Not advised... three years later its tip is still numb!

    Vocals, vocal/guitar, vocal/bass Unlined. And yes, I attempt vibrato. There’s only one song we do that lets me ‘show off’ by sliding into notes, tho. A Graceland-style ditty. Ta for comments so far!

    Amusingly, I guess their big hit here is Nothing Ever Happens and in the US Roll To Me. The latter gets dashed off live at breakneck speed, as they clearly don’t care for it! I once saw Procol Harum and they refused to play A Whiter Shade of Pale. Have never forgiven em!😂
