      You may well find most of them are only there for the beer (and the music, of course).

       

      I once ran the sound for a two-day Ska Festival. Four bands per day and only one, a band playing Ska Versions of Pink Floyd songs. Did anything but the usual covers. After 7 versions of Monkey Man, I was all Ska'd out for a year or more.

       

      The Pink Floyd Covers band were also the best musically.

  3. I’m always a bit bah-humbug in December. That is, until it’s time to play Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade! Such a fun bass-line, always puts me in the mood!

      I don't play it exactly as per the record. From memory, he changes the bass line almost from bar to bar.

  4. And another amplug bites the dust, honestly even for the relatively modest price they go for the build quality is shocking, another case of £5 build quality on a £40 device

      The problem is that you are using them. Keep them in the box and they are fine.

  8. A fellow dog walker pointed out earlier that Mid Summers day is three weeks away....

  9. It feels surrealistic: I have two gigs in one week next week. And one is in Belgium. And they're with an audience. And I can't wait.

      Wow I don't think we have two gigs this year. Enjoy.

  10. Bugger; just found out that a friend from my previous job died today. She was in ICU with Covid for a few weeks, and was even posting from there a few days ago, but didn’t make it out.

     I’ve known her for ten years. She was funny, kind and leaves 2 young kids (7 and 4), as well as her poor husband. 
    I’ve said it before, but this year can do one.

      It is such a shame, in the first  phase we were all told that is was the old and sick that were susceptable to this virus but it has become clear that anyone can succumb. My thought are for those two children.

  13. My Royal Mail 48hour Tracked Return arrived at it's destination yesterday - after 19 days...during that time I was unable to track it...

      You have to remember that Royal Mail handle much more than just parcels. To some extent they are hampered as there workers must self isolate if they show any symptoms, The so called "self employed" delivery drivers  working for many of the couriers, almost have to work whether they are ill or not.

  14. Bought a Mahalo MEB1 mini-bass from eBay. So many things wrong with it that I'm having to send it back.

  15. Having a week away in Dorset. Place says it has free wifi. Except 4 of the 5 hubs you can connect to don't have an internet connection.

    So everyone is using the one that works and it's slower than 1990s dial up...
