    @NickDHere's the FB page for the lady who gave me lessons, she's called Kay Moorcroft (I'm confident you won't want to punch her) https://www.facebook.com/xkayxdaniellex/timeline?lst=100002290243666%3A760012855%3A1605870708 I'm sure she'd be able to do zoom lessons and her rates are very reasonable. If you message her, mention I passed her name to you so she knows you're not stalking her. I'm Phil Hughes for reference

    Not since the invention of the contraceptive pill has so much thought been applied by so many (mostly older) men to the application of a bit of rubber!

    I am a singer and think I've got a reasonable voice. I was struggling with the higher register stuff so took some lessons with a professional singer based in Leicester (can pass on details if anyone's interested). A lot of my issues were with mouth shape. The more rounded/oval I made my mouth and the higher I could raise the roof of my mouth the better the higher register notes became. You see opera singers do this all the time and it might look weird, particularly when you're singing a rock song, but it works. Another thing we did in the lessons was sing a lot of different styles, from Frank Sinatra to Opera and that really helped. Plus I have lots of warm-up exercises, which I do mostly in the car before a gig to avoid looking like a complete silly billy in front of my band and the bar staff.

    Halloo! Sire v7 5 string would be my choice https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_swamp_ash_5_nt_2nd_gen.htm I can't get on with 5 strings but I had one of these and it was a very nice bass for the money (the control knobs are cheap and nasty but easy to replace)

    Thanks It's a beautiful bass. If it doesn't sell I won't be too unhappy

    I feel your pain having gone through the same event a few years back. All wedding suppliers triple their prices when they know it's for a wedding so I'd make sure you pay yourself triple your normal fee.....go on, you deserve it
