A massive turnout for Nicks funeral yesterday, Peterborough Cathedral was full, it showed how respected Nick was, a great fun loving guy sadly missed.

First track release off new solo Don Airey album.

We do the Def Leppard one, I prefer an easier life.

Hysteria, Muse or Def Leppard ?

One of my all time favourite bands, saw them live at the first Knebworth Festival in 1974, I’m very envious of you playing wonderful songs from a vast music catalogue. 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed 90% of that special concert, epic sound mix with the bass really sounding great, Pink was the standout vocalist for me, that lady can really sing, Flee didn’t have to spend much on his stage outfit 😀 The quality of musicianship was outstanding and it made me feel quite emotional at times, it’s something that hits me as I get older.

2 x 40mg tablets per day keeps mine under control but not completely like yourself, I stopped taking them for a few days a while back thinking they were not doing much good, that soon proved me wrong. Unfortunately ET is progressive and will get worse as the years pass, it will come to a point where playing my bass will be too difficult. ☹️

Propranolol ?

Wouldn’t know and never had the inclination to find out. 👎

Just heard this track on BBC Northampton, John Leech Soul Show. Wilton Felder featuring Bobby Womack - Inherit The Wind. So laid back, cool, what a smooth groove.

Very saddened to hear this news about Nick, I knew him reasonably well, he was definitely one of the good guys and excellent bass player, Nick introduced me to BASSCHAT and MarkBass. RIP.

Back from seeing Limehouse Lizzy tonight, the whole band was really on form, superb performance to a full house of folks in the older age group who showed a lot of appreciation towards the band, it’s pleasing to know this band carry on the legacy of Thin Lizzy at the highest of levels. 👍👍👍

I have messaged Genesis Connected the band he is a member of to see if any of them have had any contact with him over the last 24 hours, they have a gig this Friday in Wales.

All the guys got home safely from the gig on Saturday night in the heavy snow, the guitarist a driving instructor, mentioned he hit a curb because the edge of the road was so covered in snow.

First gig of the year last night, it was a late one where we stopped playing at 12.40, new venue to us and thought it might be quiet just after Christmas, it turns out it was very busy and a lot of folk up dancing in our third set. Started loading out about 1am and realised it was snowing heavily, the cars totally covered in snow, the journey home up the A1 was horrendous, hardly any traffic so the snow had covered the dual carriageway so bad it was difficult to navigate what lane you were in, plus the snow coming down at the windscreen always makes your eyes feel funny.

New one for the set to be learnt over the Christmas break, Ain’t Talking Bout Love - Van Halen.

Never seen Peter or his band using them 😀

Great to hear you guys are playing some tricky songs, but what’s with all the music stands on stage.

Early 80’s, I was playing second guitar in those days, it was most probably Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy, played a Tokai Strat (wished I had kept it) through a Peavey Bandit Amp and Boss ME5 effects unit.

Currently on Sky Arts - Daryl Hall & John Oates live in Dublin 2014, love these guys, cracking song catalogue and superb backing band. 👍

Currently on Sky Arts - Ian Dury and the Blockheads, live Hammersmith Odeon 1985. 👍

Currently on Sky Arts tonight - INXS: Live Baby Live, Wembley Stadium 1991, brilliant gig.

Was it Macca ? Word is that Lennon played bass on Helter Skelter.

Tickets purchased for Limehouse Lizzy in January 2025.
