Surely that should have been a Roy Orbison tribute? 🤓 Btw I have never heard of Ms Kenworthy! -

I’d be more worried about the proximity of a bishop to young children…😈

Ah, home of the Tragically Hip! Welcome to the board🍺

The review says it all: comprehensive, US published and hard to find. Price is UK posted, unread condition. Now £16. EVEN LOWER! £14 posted. Times And Seasons - The Rise and Fall and Rise of the Zombies Robin Platts HoZac Books, $31.99 356 pages Classic British pop, expertly chronicled Few books on the Zombies exist, but theirs is a story worth telling. And it's predictable that, given their Stateside star status, this quintessentially English quintet of She's Not There and Tell He No fame should be chronicled on an American imprint. The band only hung up its touring shoes last year after leader/keyboardist Rod Argent's stroke, but the work he and singer Colin Blunstone created after their reunion in 2001 - the years since 1968 being silent, in a Zombies sense - are also covered in detail by author Platts. The band always had a youthful camaraderie, having come together at high school, and that comes over faithfully in this account of their heyday - plus a long tail that details their subsequent musical careers. While Blunstone went solo and Argent created an eponymous prog band (of God Gave Rock And Roll To You fame), guitarist Paul Atkinson went behind the scenes and signed Abba to CBS - a feather in anyone's cap. Detail is forensic without being stifling. If the layout is a trifle fanzine-y, the integration of illustrative material like press cuttings and photos with the text helps make this an easy read. And the urge to play the music, always the sign of a good book, is irresistible.

Blimey! That’s a blast from the past. Clearly still remembered for more than More Than Words…😉

NBD: Slightly modified Fender Flea Jazz
Mickeyboro replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Amazing how many people come up after gigs and say ‘that’s had a hard life’… Also, its the only bass I have owned a drummer has complimented sound-wise🤔 -
Have I got news for you..it’s Ian Hislop.

I’m afraid ‘bulky in the mids’ rather accurately describes me!😁

Interesting @Lozz196 that you have transitioned to a Jazz and your bandmates feel its lower/deeper. That’s exactly the opposite to my experience. I think my bandmates could pick out the notes better rather than feel them, but I like the good old fashioned thump. And if you favour the neck pickup, then perhaps you do too?
-
And another five star experience! 👍

Two lunch time shows on consecutive days that couldn’t have been different. A show in a church… which garnered a lot of interest. Our new singer impressed a whole lot of fans, which was great. All is well once more, after a period of uncertainty about our new direction. Sandberg VM4 through Elf and Barefaced One10. Sandals. And a festival gig which didn’t! By showtime (12 noon) it was pouring, the guitarist and drummer hadn’t shown and we looked sunk. Half an hours grace saw the guitarist show up (he thought it was at 1pm) and the drummer pulled out (he thought it was this evening). We soldiered through as a trio and miraculously got our full fee! 😄 Flea Jazz through Elf and Barefaced Two10 (nicely visible, I am sheltering from the storm). Wet loafers.
