    Struck by the number of shorties up on the For Sale section at the moment. Something for all tastes!

    Now you mention it, those bindings...I checked an old photo, mine was all black. Must have sold you one of your earlier ones! I'd echo @casapete's comments - these are great basses!

    Noice! This isn't the one I sold you is it Paul? 🤔

    They have a store at York (Clifton Moor)👍.

    Saw Flook at the National Centre For Early Music in York. I wasn't that familiar with their work, but a terrific show. No bass, but the bodhrán, "filled the gap" admirably. What fantastic players!

    Waterboys at York Barbican in Thursday who were great. First time I'd seen them and rockier than I was expecting, not a fiddle, whistle or the like in evidence. They showcased the new "Life, Death And Dennis Hopper" album which I enjoyed, but those with me were a bit agnostic about, at best. Sound was a bit weird balance wise, with some instrumentation not as audible as others eg Hammond vs piano. Bass player was very "on it" (Aongus Ralston) using what looked like a Wilcock Mullarkey for the first section, before swapping to a P bass.

    Stillingfleet Beer Festival, Saturday afternoon. I've played there probably half a dozen times in the last 15 years and the weather has always been glorious! The band's first proper gig, albeit with a stand in drummer - kudos, he was great! We went down well and were happy with how we sounded, with some lessons for future bookings.

    This was October 1977 - I was there🙂. The pelting was aimed at a comedian who was the entertainment between the Dictators and the Stranglers. He came on, said "I hear you Welsh can't play rugby" and....you can guess the reaction. Roadies returned fire, but I think things had calmed down a bit by the time Stranglers came on. It was a very...kinetic gig, a very boisterous crowd!

    Looks very nice Nik👍!

    That Greco looks mighty fine, but I have to say, your Epi definitely does things for me (pre and post makeover!).

    Still recovering from a "double header"...well almost. Saw John Shuttleworth at The Ropery Hall on Sunday - well observed humour, very funny and then, by way of contrast, Transatlantic Sessions at York Barbican last night. Fantastic evening, quite mesmerising. Featured, among others, London Wainwright III and Julie Fowlis.

    Always thought this had a Stonesy intro at least.

    John Shuttleworth in Barton upon Humber on Sunday and then Transatlantic Sessions in York next Wednesday.
