Whistle test was never two hours, and in early days certainly used pre-recorded backing tapes (the Who, Lindisfarne come to mind).

The one factor we haven't mentioned is stage presence.

I depped for a girl-fronted band this year. Fab voice but so shy she tried to sing half the songs to the drummer...

Homes albums were reissued a few years ago by Esoteric. I had the honour of doing sleeve notes after interviewing Laurie Wisefield.

A v underrated band. There's a good live CD out there too.

Used Samson for a decade with few problems... Second hand price about £65.

Thanks fellas - I did put the question about the aborted BK UK tour, but he was clear that 4 1/2 years of Turn Blue was enough.

Only the second interviewee I've had (the first being Andy Summers) who balked at mention of the group with which he found fame...

Oh, and he's taken up (and enjoyed) playing a Mustang bass in the studio, so maybe there's hope

I have to interview him on Monday and wondered if there were any burning questions DA fans would ask in my place.

He has launched a new side band the Arcs, hence the conversation.

If so, I'd quite like to pick your brains about his musical philosophy!

My regular amp - great price too.

He's a funny old stick. Known him for 30 years… Everything a rock star should do to get on, he managed not to do.

Should have posted this earlier as I know he has fans on here. Sunday 2 August show.

He can be heard on inlayer for half an hour (link below is straight to it). The My 70s feature has always been my favourite but this was something else!

When he tells his Hendrix story the punch line is 'I never saw Hendrix play...but he f@$€ing saw me.' Fortunately he censored himself, or he'd have been in hot water��

If it's Kiss, count me out! 👿

I use one every time I play. Wouldn't be without it!

She was at the 2004 Strat birthday party.

Mind you, so was Jamie Cullum...

Tell em Michael Heatley recommended them!

Anyone remember Musicians Only, or did I imagine it?

Pete (excellent writer) is now a drugs counsellor.

I was his editor on a brief music freebie Soundcheck and remember him going AWOL with a cover feature... We had to send someone to re-do the interview. So glad he survived...

Which bit of Hampshire ? I lived in Bordon for 23 years! Oh, and welcome... 😊

And guess what? I'm playing at a birthday party in Alton😢

Have a good one - and play Wells Fargo!

Welcome old chap!

Our Precisions are close relations…mine's '71

My small tribute to the man...

Given your forum name, maybe a chorus of Red Red Swine would be appropriate?

Oh hello…no introduction, then?
