Nice...! I had a red T3...

Saw Tori Amos at Manchester O2 Apollo last Tuesday - yes, not 'next' - and she was brilliant....! Had to drive 240 miles to see the gig, mind... And the bass player was very good...

Tori Amos in Manchester first week of March - on a Tuesday. Anyone know much about the O2 Apollo...?

Ooof. It was £37 a pop last night. High up and at the back but she was very good. And she sang Marlene on The Wall....

Suzanne Vega in Brighton tomorrow... 😀

Massive Wagons... Love it...!!

Ta - off to have a look at that for a bit...

I don't think a lot has changed regarding how 'poor' new music is since I was a kid in the 70's. Basically, people who were my present age then were saying what a lot of people my age now are saying these days... Or something like that...

Turning up for rehearsals in just yer knickers is a bit gimmicky, really...

I want to start trying string bending, for no reason other than I think it will be interesting. Apart from advanced stuff like Primus, can anyone recommend a track or player I should look at for starters...?

3.

Kevin Dempsey and Joe Broughton at Stanley Halls, South Norwood tomorrow. Folk stuff, if that's what yer like...

I found mine to be spot on for what I needed. Also, I do use headphones sometimes...

I use a G4M electro-acoustic which I bought used from a percussionist mate. The main reason for actually wanting one is that I live in a flat and can use it for practice late evening and not upset the neighbours. That said, it has come in useful when rehearsing in peoples houses rather than a studio. Seems to knacker the P3 batteries pretty quickly...

Thanks for the link, Blue. Just wasted / invested half the evening watching...! If only we had gigs like that now....
