Here Comes The Flood - Peter Gabriel

Just back from my second night at the local Folk and Cider festival, this time with the blues band. Took the Orange Terror 500 with 2x10 and 2x12 cabs, along with the 58 P bass going straight in to the amp (clip on tuner). Footwear of choice was the trusty black Dr Martens tonight..... Had a great one hour set of mostly standard blues covers - more lively ones to keep people drinking and dancing!

Think I'm In Trouble - Lindsey Buckingham

Just got back from our gig with the blues band - just a one hour slot as part of the local cider festival. Great crowd despite the rain and evening chill (we were on between 9 & 10pm). Dancers at the end for Baby Please Dont Go, and Shake Your Moneymaker - blues is still alive and well in Cleethorpes! 😎

Sponsored by Orange Amps? 😆😆

Gear I Go Again On My Own - Whitesnake

Pulley For You - Tom Robinson Band

We did do 15 Years! We DIDN'T do Beautiful Day though...... Cholera Well, Forgotten Ground and One Way went down really well......😎

Take Me In - Blink-182

It's a social thing as much as anything these days. I play in three different bands - I'm just shy of my 60's , and have been playing in bands since I was 17. The rehearsals are a chance to kick back, make some noise, and off-load from the previous week's happenings. Also, I usually meet up with the singer from one of the bands for breakfast on a Sunday - again just to put the world to rights as much as anything. If It wasn't for the bands, I don't think I'd meet up with anyone on a regular basis any more.....

Back from our one hour slot at the Folk & Cider Festival. Local gig, only 15 minutes drive from home, plus an easy load in and out as it was PA provided, and had my two Uke basses in a double case, small pedalboard and monitor in a gig bag. The set consisted of a mix of Levellers songs plus other covers in a similar acoustic folk style - went down well, with dancers for the most part. Didn't manage to get a pic of the full setup, as we were quick setup and breakdown due to others playing either side of us on the bill, but got a crowd shot and my corner.... Captured the gig on my Zoom Hn4, so that's my job for tomorrow.....
