Angelus

Yes, Horse & Jockey. Hope to car does polish out. 👍

I was 500 yards away watching The Mighty Jerusalem Harpoons. Fantastic band and all brilliant musicians too ( one of the guitarist vocalists is Big Vern from Big Vern and the Shootas ).

I’m going to see them this time next month in Glasgow, quite looking forward to it.

Wee Ted is on in a couple of weeks, guitarist in my band is bass player in Ted’s. Would be good to catch up. 👍

My second post lockdown gig last night and we had to ship in a stand in drummer. Drummer who played the whole of the 90’s with me and after two rehearsals, was a dream to play with. He didn’t have a drum kit, so we asked a friend if we could borrow one of his spare (this is a true story), so he had one delivered for us, white Sonor kit, along with a selection of brand new cymbals. We then get a photo of the last owner of the kit, while it was on tour with Iron Maiden. 😳 Have to say, it was the best sounding drum kit that has ever graced the Horse & Jockey in Lanark. 😳 Couldn’t get a decent sound in the first set and couldn’t hear a thing on stage, but got better as the night went on. Was a good night though and looking forward to next years gigs now.

Thank you, will try and pop over and speak to them. Got a gig this Friday and doubt the guys will be wanting any more gigs before Christmas? Thanks for the info’ though. 👍

When’s the next time your playing there, would love to come over and see someone play there. Few friends play there and we’ll be looking for more venues for gigs in the new year, so would be curious about the setup. 👍

You know I’m here @dmccombe7, with a long wheel base van. Happy to help, when I can, but sorry I couldn’t make the gig this time.

Bought some stands from Russ, great transaction. Thank you.

My first pub gig since lockdown. Interesting crowd, most had been to see the Ladyboys of Bangkok before coming to see us? Great night though.

Played a small function for a charity this afternoon. First time with a crowd in so long. Was actually so much fun catching up with the band again. We went from a weekly rehearsal and played four nights in a row the weekend before the original lockdown.

Eileen passed in May this year, tragic. As we were all in other bands, this became our second band, so it was decided that after the WhatsApp group of “Band 2”, we just changed to Banned 2. Would be good to see you and your good lady, any Friday.

Nightfly this Friday, with their new drummer, then wee Ted next Friday ( his first gig since his wife passed, so it might get emotional without her there watching? ) and then me on the third of September ( first outing with a new drummer and lead guitarist ), so I better get rehearsing. 🤣

Looking forward to seeing the new band Dave. Keep us posted if you get a local gig. 👍

Bought an SM58 from Carl, arrived quickly, well wrapped and in perfect condition. True gent. 👍

Received the SM 58 today, thank you @carlsim. 👍

Interested to know how you felt afterwards too Sarah. After a 20 year break, I done half a dozen gigs in 2019 and had a dozen or so lined up for 2020, but we all know how that went. Now I'm itching to get back out and start again.

Actually sounds like a ProTools plugin, that has removed almost all other tracks with computer trickery?

Bought a Gotoh D-Tuner from WarPig, delivered fast. Thank you.

Twice in 2019 I had to loan a bass to someone for their gig. One was a charity gig, young band going on early and had never played through a PA, you couldn’t hear the bass over the buzz it was making, so loaned him mine. Second time was a band setting up in my local, guy sound checked, but couldn’t get a peep out of the bass when they were due to start. I’d had a couple of pints, but only lived two minutes away, so said if someone gave me a lift home, he could have something to get him through the gig. Good deed done and guy was eternally grateful, ( and I drank free all night ).
