Angelus

Like others have said, vocals only and a wee pair of ton’s would be fine. Cheap powered cabs with a wee desk ( something with a couple of effects, or a Helicon for just the lead vocals ) would be fine. Ridiculously cheap, to see if things work out are; https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191021350125008-5041785--behringer-dr110dsp-ex-demo-9193 As soon as you start adding other stuff through the PA, you will eventually progress to 12’s. Then eventually for bigger venues, you’ll add subs.

Bought a gig bag from Paul, everything went smooth. Thank you Paul, much appreciated.

Bought a Badass II bridge and it arrived quickly, well packaged. Thanks. 👍

Received my pedal today, thank you. Reliable, communicative and courteous.

Very smooth transaction and very quick to post the jazz I bought, thank you John. 👍 Lee.

Bought a Nate Mendel Precision from Stuart, exactly as described and posted fully insured. @StuarDaddy thank you, 👍 Lee.

Almost him, I know Pauline McNeil plays in MC4 and was due to watch her play at Girdwoods in Wishaw, until lockdown happened.

Fantastic news, glad you've got something back. 👍 BTW, who's your MSP? I know one who plays in a covers band and is local ( Motherwell ).

Just up the road from Wishaw, in Lanark, we've had "neds" trying car/van door handles and peoples house/flat doors over the last few years. They've got lucky a few times, one guys work tools were all taken ( self employed joiner ). A few CCTV shots were intially shared on facebook, but taken down again? Not sure if they got their stuff back, were threatened or the police told them to take them down? But they clearly showed faces of those guilty of no good. So armed with a film of the crime, no one has ever been caught and the thieving has never stopped? I never, ever, leave anything in the car these days, but trying to unload in the early hours of the morning, with two dogs barking, usually wakes the rest of the house up. Then I don't get my kebab to myself. 🙄

You didn’t used to ( or possibly still do ) own a Porsche 928 by any chance? Your career sounds familiar?

I’m in the mood for dancing by the Nolan’s, if I never, ever play that again, I’ve already played it too many times. Although I did utterly fluff The Chain by Fleetwood Mac the other week, after playing for 35 years. Now it gives me the fear. 🙄

Finished my annual run of 4 nights playing in a panto band. Usual mix of show tunes and cheesy pop songs. Playing the same stuff 4 nights in a row means the Saturday night is the best and it’s a fair bit of a come down ending on a high. Cast, band and audience builds up to the Saturday night and then stop, never to be done again. Kinda weird, with the other bands you play and play, enjoying performing a “set”, which you get to do again and again, adding new songs and dropping old ones. Not sure why this is depressing? Learning around 30 songs every year, just to play them four times and not play them again? Still ,looking forward to next year now.

A certain guitarist encouraged me to stay up and keep drinking with him in the Horse & Jockey the night before. 🙄 I sure did learn my lesson and Long Way to the Top was tough going. 😂

From last summer. Was a saturday afternoon and I was very hungover.

Mainly the singer says what songs he can sing and we toss about a list of songs that we agree on. If anyone wants to do a song, they have to agree to sing it. 😂

Interested in hearing about that.👍

I am quite technical, have played in bands and operated PA’s for the last 35 years. We’ve been gigging for the last year, one gig a month, so have all the mics, leads, monitors, desk and back line setup. I was just quite interested in what other gigging bands were using? Looking at spec’s, write ups and prices just now, I’m thinking the Alto TS3 rig ( with 12’s on top and 18” sub ) would suite most of the small venues in Lanarkshire. Quick and easy to setup, simple to use.
