Janet Kay- Silly Games?

In case anyone is in the York area Sunday my Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy trib band MOORE LIZZY are at The Roman Bath St Sampson's Square in Central York... Show starts 6pm this sunday. Please be sure to say hi :-) You can find us on facebook or you tube for info Thanks

Our show starts like this...... House lights & music down, roadie fires up the smoke machine, turns up the FOH sliders & plays our intro (haunting celtic music/ ww2 air raid siren) during which we take our places. Drummer counts 4 then we hit the first chord of Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak as the lights go on flood!

Ok done it for both of you guys......... mines here [url="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moore-Lizzy/261751657176603"]http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moore-Lizzy/261751657176603[/url] Well, one good turn deserves another eh! Cheers

Haha cool, my brother has been there today & sent me some great pics & vid clips

[quote name='S9_S12_Bass' timestamp='1330428217' post='1557181'] Both very nice! Lazzer in terms of the wear did you use a bit of sandpaper or just loads of playing? After the finish goes into the shiny look how soon after that did the top layer of the paint come off? [/quote] I actually used a Leatherman multi tool, roughed it up a bit with the file, scraped it a bit with a blade even chipped it a bit in places. I took a pan scrub to the machine heads & control nobs & have to say they look fantastic.... I had no problems mentally lol in doing this, especially after seeing a you tube vid of Marlowe DK at the Sandberg factory, where they showed some of their ageing techniques. Hope that helps

[attachment=101208:photo.JPG][attachment=101209:photo.JPG] My 2010 HW P-bass in black with rosewood & mirror pickguard fitted....yes I'm a Phil Lynott fan! Also my 2009 USA P in sunburst. The HW is just as good in my opinion & is ageing nicely (helped along slightly by me)

Although totally not for me, have to say that looks absolutely stunning! Enjoy...

Gig rig ( yammy 4x10 & monstrously heavy flight rack) lives either in the garage or boot of car whilst a spare 4x10 lives in my dining room also a powered monitor which I practice through......... suits me well like this

Easy, Phil Lynott's tone with the Roland bass he was using on the Thunder & Lightning tour, through 2 dynachord rigs... As heard by myself quite close to the stage at Leeds Queens Hall 1983. The sound & sight has been etched on my brain ever since!

Always been a big Deon fan after being dragged along by a girlfriend to see Wham in their heyday! And George was superb too......

This Lads a good little player & has the potential to be very good...... How do I know? I'm teaching him! Good luck Aiden, full marks for enterprise Ben

I will be available from Jan 2011 as the vocalist in my current main outfit BAD DOG will complete her medical degree & hence the rest of the band have agreed to scale down the amount of bookings taken. I on the other hand want to work more, so have decided to look at other viable options. Although versatility is my middle name, preferred styles include Classic soul, Classic Rock, Blues, Pop. And I'm equally at home in jeans/t shirt or a sharp suit & tie Professional attitude & gear to match, strong b.v.s, occasional lead vocal Am looking ideally for top function, tribute,touring, recording but paid work only please Regards.

My years been pretty good to be honest & by year end will look like this..... Main Band gigs ( Bad Dog) 70 gigs Other live stuff & Deps 15 gigs Original recording sessions 3 projects (not all paid) I'm reasonably happy with that & expect next year to be even better, 25 bookings for 2011 in the diary already & rising weekly

I've suffered with skin splits in the finger ends (very painful on the fretting hand!) and sometimes used skin glue.....even good old superglue on the very odd occasion! I also use Neutrogena hand cream daily in winter

My 74 Jazz is really light & defo made from Alder....... Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Ash mainly used for the clear coated bodies? That example on Bass Direct looks a beauty anyway & not massively overpriced in my humble opinion

Maybe not what you want to hear, but I usually don't attempt to replicate any B.Vs or even listen to them at home. Instead I'll wait until rehearsal then just go for it and it just works. I seem to have really developed a knack for finding harmonies on the spot & being able to "blend" my voice with the lead vocal.... As has already been stated B.V.s are a skill of their own, but one that can be acquired with lots of practice- I'm always singing along in the car BUT not usually lead vocals, instead trying to find harmonies! Enjoy......
