How exciting to be briefly Banned! Living on the edge

Looking forward to playing Fiddler's Elbow, Camden on Friday. Onstage 8pm in case anyone fancies coming along. Expect rocking blues with tons of guitar solos and barely adequate bass playing 🤣

My first gig with goth/post punk band The InSect is on Friday at the Dublin Castle in Camden. Onstage about 8pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/248170544468197

My goth lot The InSect are playing in Brighton on Sunday 10th March (aka Mother's Day). Release the bats!

My two sausage dogs have just been for a walk in Richmond Park and eaten loads of rabbit poo. They are producing lots of little tommy squeakers. Thus concludes today's flatus update

OMG, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds back on form with amazing, anthemic new single Wild God
-
Playing my longest ever gig tonight. Two sets for a total of c.2 hours. Back should be fine (debut of sub 7lb Serek Midwestern bass).

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
-
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

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

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
