[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1439762104' post='2845629'] Our web site has now been updated with some audio files. Two more tracks from the same gig have been mixed, so as well as the aforementioned Stay, you should now be able to hear Ashes to Ashes and Rock'n'Roll Suicide. Here's the link - http://www.changestwobowie.co.uk/sound.html [/quote] Most excellent!!!

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1460204589' post='3023585'] Never really been a fan of Lets Dance, however, we covered it in a pub last week and it rocked! [/quote] +1 We covered this the week that he died, never played it before and unrehearsed, just all learnt it at home and nailed it on the night! It's now in the set virtually permanently! Always goes down well!

Bump! Free this weekend 8/9/10th before my band kicks back into action!!!

Haven't got the money at the moment, hopefully it will be available on this day next year, maybe they'll have a 32x10 by then!! I'll get saving!!! 😂😂

Just received a pedal from Adam, all good, good comms and well packaged. Buy with confidence!!

Just bought a pedal from Paddy, a pleasure to do business with him, took me about half an hour to unwrap it as it was so well packaged!! Great stuff, buy with confidence!!

I agree he needs to go, the band comes first and whilst it might be a PITA to find a replacement he'll only bring you down. At the same time I hope if any of you are good friends with him you might be able push him in the direction of getting some help. Yes, he's a pain, but it sounds like he's heading down bad path!

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1459161975' post='3013927'] Sad fact of life that major sports events take precedence. Little point in pursuing the money - even if you get it, the place probably won't book you again. Perhaps best to check when a job is offered whether it clashes with a big game or similar and suggest to the venue that a different night would be better if so. [/quote] I wonder if some of these venues get a cash allocation from the brewery anyway and "lose" it somehow! Very easy to fake a receipt! Cynical? Me?

Would be interested to know how long the payment normally takes bearing in mind any work I do in one week from Monday to Saturday in my regular day job gets paid the following Friday as per many weekly paid workers?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1459114228' post='3013684'] Fabulous gig last night at the St Paul's Art Centre in Worthing, West Sussex. It was a David Bowie Tribute event held to celebrate the musical genius of the late, great Starman himself, and to help raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer research... Lots of different artists played various Bowie songs from the 60s right through to the present day and my band, Replay, did 'Fame', 'Fashion' and 'Rebel, Rebel'. The crowd loved it and it was an absolute honour for me to take part, being a life-long Bowie fan! Also, it gave me a chance to do a 2nd gig with my recently acquired Hayman 40 40, which is such a great bass it's managing to usurp my BC Rich Eagle at the moment, which has been my 'go to' bass for a long time now.. Anyway, here's a few of pictures.. One of the band, one with me and my usual 'bass-face' and one of the venue from the balcony. As I hope you can see, it's a beautiful venue! And a very cool looking bass... [attachment=215582:FB_Y7U4239.jpg] [attachment=215583:FB_Y7U4223.jpg] [attachment=215584:FB_Y7U4251.jpg] Cheers, Nik [/quote] Nice one Nik! And Happy Birthday by the way, Facebook wouldn't let me post on your timeline for some reason!

That's cheered up a rainy Saturday morning! Still curled up in bed with my girlie singing along!!

Not a Bcer but Shakatak featuring the awesome JD player George Anderson are playing the Hideaway Streatham on Saturday. About ten minutes walk from Streatham Common Station. I'd be there myself but have a previous engagement!!

Male would probably be George Michael Female.....Beth Hart!

So I thought I'd give this a bump, been through a bit of a period of illness that I'm gradually recovering from so I'm not exactly mister dynamic on stage and use my stool a bit. Got a couple of free weekends coming up if you need the notes in the right place. 1st and 2nd April and 8th and 9th. Might have the following weekend, waiting on another gig at the mo. Cheers Colin

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1458480869' post='3007892'] Lookin' good Col. Keep it up ... Or did you just have a bigger Status built? [/quote] 😀😀

So I've had some health problems that are still ongoing and I've really had to knuckle down to lose some weight. Bit of a before and after here, first pic from July last year and second from last night. Still much more to lose which will hopefully ease my health problems!!

Oops!

Nathan East for me, just check his wiki to see how many top artists of all genres he's played with!!

I was going to post similar thread recently, I had it on my note pad but forgot. Here it is!! So playing in a covers band you will always have songs you dislike, Sex on Fire, Dakota, Mustang Sally et al, all stuff that gets them dancing I guess and that I like even if I don't like the song. So we are a female led rock covers band, Heart, Mac, Jovi, Boston, Journey, Springsteen etc, all good melodic stuff, not always exciting to play but a good feel. So the singer decides that a good song for us would be Runaways by the Killers. Not a very well known Killers song as far as I know and I'm not sure it will go down with our typical 40-60yo audience. But what a drab hateful song, bass is duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh nearly all the way through with a slight variation right near the end! Hate it hate it hate it hate it! And every time we do it she makes a point of saying what a fantastic song it is, I just give her the stare of doom!!!!

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1457870680' post='3002474'] I think I'll have to start an 80s cover band. There is at least one set's worth of excellent songs here already. [/quote] Band name??? The One Hit Wonders!! I'll only take 10% for thinking that one up for you!

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1457609557' post='3000052'] I thought the rehashed version was on 'slip of the tongue'? It's been a long time so I could be wrong.... [/quote] Certainly is!! Rehashed Here I Go Again is on "87"!
