If anyone is looking for a bass playing role in a melodic, gigging goth/post punk band based in North London, give me a shout. I have had to give up playing in The InSect but would like to help them find my replacement

Thank you everyone! Together we raised £8,560 which, with the non JG donation of £35, amounts to a grand total of £8,595. Most of the funds are already with Andy and the balance will be with him in the next few days.
Here's to Iris 🥰
-
Last day of fund raiser for Iris ... we got to (upwards revised) target of £8,500 helped by more matched donations from our friend "Anonymous". Over 300 BCers all pulling together ❤️

Phenomenal figure of £8k reached in the Iris Travis fund raiser. Thank you so much to the 300 - yes 300! - BCers who have supported this wonderful cause. Oh and there's still 6 days to go ...

That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr

If learning to read music, you can thank me later

Any fans of A Certain Ratio, post-punk funkster, former Factory label mates of Joy Division? I have two tickets for London gig next Saturday and cannot attend due to injury. Can transfer by email in return for donation (at your discretion) to The Dog's Trust

Saw Lizzo at O2 this evening. Did not expect her to start one song with the opening of Yes' Heart of the Sunrise. See here (not my video) from an earlier gig on the tour
-
Saw James Taylor at Apollo last night. Still has that voice and what a band - Steve Gadd on drums, Jimmy Johnson on bass and a bunch of other fine players/singers
-
There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

Radio WigWam have played a lot of my band West on Colfax - sorry to hear about the gig. We played a benefit gig with generally a really great crowd, we were half way through and some drunk shouted play a cover, which quick as a flash our singer said we're not doing Wonderwall to a round of applause, and the guy actually was going to say Wonderwall he admitted later at the bar, that's how i know he was drunk, he slurred at me. There should be a Brightside/Wonderwall ban for a few years 🙂

Sorry to hear this. It's such a waste of everyone's time too. You could have taken another (paying) booking. They probably had customers turn up, expecting to see a band etc. I too have done free gigs where I've thought "why do I do this?" and of course others where I ended up really enjoying the gig.
Good on you for naming and shaming the pub. Better luck with the next one @Clarky
Have a good one Clarky
yes it is a bit compact and bijou, isn't it!
