I had the Pirate experience last week for the first time. The bass amp sounded like a jam jar full of wasps. I set it flat and applied small tweaks to EQ over a few songs before finally settling for... a jam jar full of wasps. It was horrible. I think you have 20 minutes from the booking start time to contact the mother ship to register a complaint so I'll try that tomorrow. Fortunately we'll be back in our regular studio from next week.
Am I correct in assuming that tablets are held in less distain than music stands by the BC collective?
I sing a lot of lead in one band and learn the words and get on with it. My other band has asked me to consider covering more lead vocal when the current singer leaves next month. I don't want to be staring at a screen all gig and it's just for a quick glance to know where we are in the song.
What should I buy as far as minimum size of screen goes?

Definitely the thing to do to make the colours pop. We use 4 DMX fixtures each side and keep 1 on each bar set white aimed across the line where the mics are. Leave the remaining 6 units to provide the interesting stuff. Simple and effective.
I played on the platform of the old railway station at the same festival last night. A good setting but if you ever play it do not play a single note after 11pm or the woman in charge will go of her head spouting licensing issues. We had one verse and chorus to finish.
Now awake and showered on Sunday for a 12 noon gig.

There are a few Ashdown covers in stock for £58.
I bought a cover for a Markbass amp from them. Good quality and excellent service.
Based in Lanarkshire.
Yes at Glasgow.
The support act was Roger Dean himself with a slide show of his work over the decades.
Borderline tedious. Never let a deaf man from southern England conduct a Q&A session with a hall full of Scottish people.
