Hi, what's the string spacing at the bridge please? -
Just a follow up from this gig and on the subject of fees etc, Speakeasy have re-booked us for 2 dates next year with an increased fee with the comment that they're happy to pay more as we're 'well worth it" Makes all the rehearsals and late night load-outs worth the effort when venue owners say things like that and back it up with their own cash.

Iconic venues I've played Rock City main stage Water Rats London Like to play Birmingham Town Hall, where I saw Rory Gallagher in 1974. ...and Glastonbury obvs

Amen to that, especially for church gigs 🤣

Speakeasy gig last Saturday for Southern Frontier was a stormer. Place was full, although it's only a capacity of 70. There was some mighty shape throwing by the crowd during set 2. Country Roads always gets everyone singing and we've added MIFLAW (clue, Shania Twain song) as last song for set 2 so everyone was up and grooving. Threw 3 originals in this time which were well received. My goto gigrig of Mike Lull P4, Handbox R400+cab and Thumpinator did the bizzo. The drummer from my previous band turned up and was genuinely complementary which was nice.

I'd only come across the tip bucket at gigs in Sheffield and farther North (Cas Vegas for example) until t'other weekend when we played The Donkey in Leicester on a Sunday afternoon and we got £75 in tips

Thanks

It's fabulous inside and run by a lovely couple Terry and Marni. They own the carpet shop next door and live in the flat above. You can't get a band in that bit and it is a small venue.

Our gig this evening is at The Speakeasy in Hinckley. Bit different to playing at the Dog n Duck next to one of the big TV's 😊
-
Did the pub promote the gig much? Many don't and that has an effect on numbers
-
But always cover it in batter and deep-fry it!

Looks great.... enjoy!

We played a new venue for us called Inside the 22 in Rugby. So not only a reference to the game of Rugby in the town of Rugby, but the postcode is CV22 @Bluewine - the Zip code Daryl 😊. Nice big stage, decent PA and the sound guy Oli (also the owner) was excellent. We bashed through our set and included 3 originals, which went down really well. It's funny and flattering watching an audience trying to sing the words of an original cos they think they've heard it before somewhere. Used my goto rig of Mike Lull P4 with my Handbox R400 and matching cab, with the thumpinator in the effects loop. Band is called Southern Frontier Country Band so no prizes for guessing the genre. Here's that old chestnut Country Roads - actually one of my favourites to play - the middle eight really makes it. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/EkEq7M1eDtAWkSs2/

Cool pic. What's the bass? Looks a bit like a Parker Fly guitar (sorry about the g word 😊) -
I go beer and toast post gig 😎
-
Always fancied playing at Percy's but it's a bit of a hike from Leicester and the fee isn't brilliant
-
My Lull is around 3.75 kg so nice n light
-
The last time I owned a Fender P was in the 70's so I can't really remember but it's got standard Lindy Fralins in it, so it's not a bright modern sound. Think Lull are winding their own pick ups now. I do have a set of overwound Fralins bought from @walshy that I haven't got round to fitting yet....only had em about 18 months 🤣
-
Correct 💯 😁
-
It's a Mike Lull P4 and is my 'cold dead hands' bass
-
Good point Dave. I think we should have moved the drums over a bit and given those of us on the rhside a bit more room. Me and the lead guitarist share a mic so we're always on the same side. We have a 'no curry the night before' pact
-
Thanks, we are blessed with our lead vocalist Emma, she has a terrific voice. She starts one song acapella and, without a pitching note, hits it bang on every single time. We're lucky to have her in the band.
