  1. Anyone in the UK branch of the BC Collective got a Digitech Bass Whammy they would be prepared to lend me for a week or so? It would be home use only, and in a pet, child, and smoke free environment. I would like to make sure it's the right pedal for me before I raid the savings pot. Happy to pay for postage both ways. Thanks, Chris

  3. Definitely this. I've worn hearing aids for a few years now and they took a bit of time to get used to. Like others, I had a GP referral for a hearing test, and was supplied with NHS hearing aids - the difference for 'one-to-one' conversation was immediate and impressive, and they are fine in most everyday circumstances. ............................. BUT I find noisy environments a major problem, in some cases I feel even more isolated because the background noise (canned music, other nearby conversations, ambient noise) drowns out everything else and makes conversation impossible - lip-reading is not one of my skills so I might have made some serious conversational gaffes. Also the resulting 'in-ear-drone' is very tiring, so I turn the aids off or remove them completely.. I don't wear them when rehearsing or playing live as the sound levels can cause a 'ringing' feedback. Having said that, I wouldn't be without my hearing aids now - I notice the difference particularly if I remove them when watching television or listening to music at home. Chris
  4. RIP Dave Crosby. I'll re-visit 'Suite Judy Blue Eyes' (the 'Woodstock' version) and some early tracks by The Byrds.
  5. Everybody Wants To Rule The World – Tears For Fears
  6. RIP Jeff Beck - thankyou for some great music.
  7. A difficult one to call, but I think my favourite is .......................... And one of the best covers of Deep Purple's Highway Star is ..........................
  8. Jools Holland Hootananny! First time I have seen this annual TV 'national treasure' - also the last time I will watch it. Awful.
  9. I remember Chicken Shack. RIP Songbird, fly high.
  10. I watched the program, and for me: 1) The drummer spoilt all the performances. He was far too busy and, to my ears, he was playing against and not with with the other musicians. 2)The drums were too high in the broadcast mix throughout the programme. 3) I could barely hear the Double Bass player during his set. 4) The sax player's set was the highlight.
  11. Blue Guitar - Justin Hayward & John Lodge
