Anyone tried one of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255680482871 I'm thinking about one but am hesitating as I'll probably leave it on bypass and never use all the available tones Bit like me and pedals - buy one, try it, chuck it in the drawer and then flog it 6 months later

Went to see Remi Harris at Peggy's Skylight in Nottingham last night. He's touring his Peter Green tribute show. He is an awesome guitarist and the band are pretty good too. If you like Peter Green/Blues music, I'd recommend catching this. https://www.manoftheworldmusic.com/

@Leonard Smalls is in your neck of the woods. I'm from Ludlow originally, but now live in sunny Nottingham (today it is anyway) ...and welcome

I use GHS pressurewounds and feel they are an excellent compromise between roundwounds and flats

If I see any ad on any platform with HMU in the text, I exit stage left.

Do tell.....

I found my previous tribute band through JMB so it does work. I have just recruited a singer for my current outfit via Bandmix, although you have to pay to message people. I got half a dozen replies from approaching about 10 possibles.

I've used www.thefretboard.co.uk for geeta stuff just as a HU for you

A good tip, thanks

Cheers Blue

My best gig in a long and fairly average musical career was playing Rock City in Nottingham with my Bowie Tribute band. This was January 2022 for a charity gig so not paid, but to be honest I'd have paid them. It actually surpassed all our expectations because - there was a stage manager (in a very sharp suit) to receive all the bands at the stage door entrance - we had our own dressing room, complete with toilet and shower, with our band name on the door - there were roadies/stage hands to carry your guitar onto the stage (we were using their drums and backline) - there was a 32 channel monitor mixer at stage right - that's right, just for monitors (us pub players are just not used to such luxury) - the light show was awesome - there was a decent crowd in who loved it and we played as well as we ever have - the head stage hand said..."you guys were very good" afterwards - we were the only tribute band on the bill, we played right before these guys https://cosmicskull.org/ - Bowie played there, on that very stage in 1997 (goosebumps) The only downside was we only had 30 minutes Thanks @Bluewine for posting this thread, it's allowed me to relive a cherished memory. The sadness is that the band has now broken up so no chance of a repeat performance 😢

Welcome @Gary C I'm a Shropshire lad too, as is @Leonard Smalls although I'm in Nottingham now Which bit of Shropshire are you in?
