  1. We played the Grand Union in Leicester on Saturday night. Our first outing of 2024 and it went really well and the crowd loved it. We're a Country band so hats and boots are de rigueur for us, but the bar staff joined in and also wore their western gear. Pre-gig photo with said bar staff We got free food and a drink post gig so all in all a good un. The band is Southern Frontier Country Band and I was using my Mike Lull P4 through a Handbox R400 and matching Handbox 1x12 cab. I used my Thumpinator, bought off here, for the first time live and was pleased with results. I'm not sure what that gizmo does but it seems to focus the sound somehow
  2. LED battens on floor stands so they are upright is what we use. Powering them is a pain with 13amp cable everywhere so ideally rechargeable would be better, but they're costly.
  3. Bought a Grizzly Bass pedaL from Ian. Easy transaction with excellent communications
  4. Michael O'Leary is still raging about the cost of that one 😂
  5. Been wracking my brains trying to think of a company/brand I dislike and then I remembered Ryan Air. In a remote French airport I put my bag on the scales and was told it was overweight and the extra charge was 90 euros. Can I have my bag back to take some stuff out please, says I ? No, came the reply, it's already been checked in. 😡😡😡 Can't say I've never used Ryan Air since, but avoid them if at all possible.
  6. Definitely counts Daryl 👍
