  1. Trendy café venue. Played facing the bar with no-one directly in front. Audience sitting out wide to left and right. 2 songs in hipster beardie barman says the bands too loud. We have a tiny 400W vocal PA so it's not Glasgow Apollo volume. Later on someone bought a coffee and I announced that the machine was very loud and I can't hear my bass. HB just looked blank.

  2. Listen to and learn the lines of Folsom Prison Blues from Cash's live album recorded at the prison. Note it's Folsom. Not FolsAm. If Marshall Grant's playing bores you don't play it and drop the song from your set. You, your drummer and guitar player arè providing the train rythmn that drives the entire song.

  3. I’ve been using the Alesis GuitarLink Wireless pack for several months now on regular gigs with two bands. It’s
    inexpensive but does the trick. My Blues band has no problem with it and like the fact that I can offer my opinion from FOH during soundcheck.

    The guitards in my other rock tribute band are convinced that an imperceptible lag makes me sound out of tune – even when we know my bass is perfectly tuned.

    Always eager to please, I’ve agreed to use a lead on Saturday’s gig to test the theory.
    Has anyone on the BC forum experienced this situation and what’s the answer apart from buying a better unit? (Which I might consider)

  4. I booked a great band forour anniversary party. In advance I asked if the guys from mý two bands couuld play one song each. No problem at all. The band is so professional and knew we were all seasoned players too. It all made for a great night.

  5. Skidder. You will recieve and email link when the cash is ready. Click the link and confirm acceptance. £££ will be in your bank in a few days. I got £5 more than our gig fee so they did cover admin fees. Not a system I like but it was hassle free in practice. Bonus - we have return bookings.

  6. Thanks for the suggestions. I told the drummer who said his hands were sore too. He blamed the heat.
    It's definitely not an allegic reation to new strings ha ha.
    My blood results are fine.
    I am in the definitely ageing bracket.
    Gigging tomorrow. Roll on.
    Still smarting as I write this.

  7. Last weekend we played in Balloch near Loch Lomond. Arrived at 7pm to load in to be told we weren't to play until the Rugby finished at 9:30pm. It was France v England. Pub was packed with lots of Frenchmen in Scottish tops who I'm pleased to say stayed on afterwards to enjoy the band.
    PS. Well done England on winning everything in sight. ;)
