Don’t take any offence at my marketing ploy comment, typical internet conjecture on my part (I used to work at head office for a well known supermarket chain many years ago). FWIW, I like a good browse, a perfectly good way to spend my time. Thanks for taking the trouble to come and update us on the progress of the website. Love seeing your stuff on Instagram when it pops up on my feed.

Did you manage to try these out, although the weekend isn’t over yet?

I suspect a marketing ploy, rather like that used by supermarkets. Get folk to ‘walk’ past various goods, whilst looking for something specific and hope to generate some other interest. Plainly, this doesn’t always work out.

That’s quality provenance and manufacturer backup. Impressive. FWIW, I think they’re better the way the necks are currently fitted.

But they’re just talking about Shaft and we can dig it.

Interesting. I will be looking at the replies with, er… interest.

As opposed to a skunner, which is something rude in the local dialect.

IIRC, this swap was the subject of a thread some time back.

Ah, The Rain Song; that’s better 😌.

Clever Trevor - Ian Dury & Co

Some of their onstage poses are cheesy, but that doesn’t stop them being entertaining poses. Clichés are clichés for a reason. Danny’s dad dancing is another matter altogether, however. 😂 Danny and Luke are the same age as me and went to school just down the road from where I used to live at that time. They even played my sister’s old pub. Given how tight knit and cliquey music can be, especially in your teens, I find it amazing that we never ran into each other. It’s only through Chris & Harry (and a work colleague’s recommendation) that I got into them at all. I also find it strange that they’re enjoying their biggest success and notoriety in their 60s. Given his recent health issues, Ben looks the fittest of all of them. So glad he recovered.

I Don’t Remember - Peter Gabriel

Breakfast of champions! 🤣

The boys from Thunder always deliver and my best gig of all time was seeing them at the old Astoria in London. Chris is also one of my biggest influences from when he and Harry were in South London, pub rock stalwarts, Bad Influence. A great player with a huge range of ability, great voice and a thoroughly nice chap. Hopefully, his bass wasn’t drowned out by a heavy kick drum mix (it normally is with Thunder ). I noticed the Status on Instagram, Chris does like to chop and change. He started with a Stingray in Thunder (they bought it for him), then his old, go to Jazz bass, then a Ricky and, until recently, the Sandberg. Looks like he’s using a Fender backline now, having used Orange for a significant period. He should join us on BC, his GAS would fit right in.

Thanks to Radio Scotland, I have Forever and Ever by Slik in my head. I want Faith No More back. 😩🙏
