I did also have the privilege of playing with an Ex Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, beautiful DW kit with the most awesome snare sound, that snare has some history. Ludwig Black Beauty Jeff plays a Ludwig Black Beauty Snare which was made in 1979. The drum was originally owned by Rick Allen from Def Leppard and was used on various Def Leppard albums including Pyromania and Hysteria. The drum was also used on a Mettalica album, Master of Puppets. Jeff bought the drum off Rick whilst working with Def Leppard in 1984/5 after Rick lost an arm in a car accident. Jeff has used the drum on many Status Quo albums and concerts and says, “This drum is without doubt one of the best rock snare drums ever produced. The sound is fantastic and it has never let me down”.

Just heard this on the radio, totally forgot about it and I have the album.

Year of the Bat, or maybe Pangolin 🦠

As I watched it, I actually thought it was a spoof documentary until I checked out the band on google.

I happened to dip into the final 30 minutes, never heard of The Nightingales before, unfortunately I was left unimpressed by the whole band. 👎

Tonight (Friday) at 8.00pm. Back to basics pub rock movement that emerged in the South of England in the 1970’s.

Humans (Homo Sapiens), we are a species of highly intelligent (questionable at times) primates, as a species we rely on complex social structures and social interacting. The pandemic has virtually ceased social interacting (normality) and until that returns, unfortunately none of your issues listed will be high on the list of priorities.

Thanks for the heads up, both concerts set up for record.👍

The Dead Daisies, Mr Hughes playing some tasty bass lines.

The only pub gig in May might be at the Queen Vic in Eastenders, they appear to be open as normal during this current lockdown.

The top one sometimes if it was top of a bundle from the wholesaler usually had your delivery/box number label stuck to it.

Come Together - The Meters

I had one of these HF 15 when I was gigging the larger venues, seriously great bottom end.

The Pretty Reckless, what a glorious set of pipes she has.

Due to no gigs since March 2020, mine has reduced quite a lot.

Quite a mix this week. To Love Somebody - Bee Gees Moby Richard - Zeppelin Iron Man - Sabbath Jean Genie - Bowie

Cracking Joey B track, brilliant bass playing by Michael Rhodes.

Well said, that’s exactly how I feel regarding chasing landlords for gigs, not the time.

This beautiful song by Gloria Estefan, stunning vocal makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

Didn’t need one this year, every gig we had was crossed out ☹️
