Very. Pick 5 and one amp. You can bring a different set to the midlands bash in 2026. 🤪
-
OK, lets DO THIS! 🤘
-
Right - 2026 is the year we're going to actually going to do this! Updated 13th Ocober: The hall is now booked 🥳 The date: Saturday 20th June 2026. The venue: https://bentleyheathhall.co.uk/ The address: Widney Rd, Bentley Heath, Solihull B93 9BQ Link to Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kN4xPQQe35cHTNKbA Probably 10:00 to about 16:00 as usual. -
Bently Heath charge £180 for a full day 9:30am-6:00pm and seem to have availability in April and June. I shall start a new thread, see what dates suit people, and then - as there will be no consensus - just book a weekend anyway!
-
That's a great blue! What colour is that in their range?
-
I did a quick search for "A duck playing bass guitar" Of course I got this:
-
We had several rubber floor mats at church that we used to use over cable runs, before I rewired the stage with sockets on top and cables underneath. I'll see if I can find them. That's looks decent quality and good value. I might just order a length anyway
-
Waiting on Bentley Heath for prices and availability. Closer to the middle than other suggestions so far 😉 May is completely out for me due to two 90th birthday parties on successive weekends and half term. April is possible (when is Easter 2026?) 3rd week in June looks good.

Ponders @Owen's view on south of Brum being more accessible.... Also ponders the concept of @Stub Mandrel and the Glamorgan Massive...
-
If others are volunteering to organise in Derby then I'll let them. Otherwise the hall I know of appears to be available on 20th June and I'll ask about the cost.
-
Sadly these are virtually extinct in England. Now I have a functional work-round, and I know it's M2, there isn't so much urgency so I can try different places.
-
Our church halls would be perfect, plenty of space and separate rooms, but the load in/out would be utterly dreadful as there isn't a dedicated car park. I keep intending to check out Bently Heath Villlage hall, which is near me, not far off the M42 and looks ideal. https://bentleyheathhall.co.uk/

That really is very nice! Enjoy retirement too. -
AKA "The Raffle"

It appears that they are circuits from a SoundCraft PA unit and a StudioSpares Fortissimo 10" unit. I didn't use them because it was the driver that was broken in my PA top, not the crossover as I thought. They came from @Mottlefeeder in 2022 - no doubt he will avoid me all bash in case I try to give them back to him 😉
-
Found one! Sticks out a bit but who cares. Thanks everyone, really appreciate it. 😀
-
I have a 10" speaker and a couple of crossover circuits that someone kindly gave me at a previous bash to use to mend a PA top. I didn't need them in the end, and will never use them now, so if anyone wants then I can bring them. I'll dig out the specs.
-
Mine's a TS101, but I expect the screws are identical as the tips are.
-
"suitable for children’s toys (EN71.3)" I missed this one out as I didn't think it relevant! 🤣
-
From the product website site: "Very water, dirt and abrasion resistant. Highly resistant to common liquid spillages such as water, juice, tea, cola and wine. Saliva-resistant and sweatproof." What sort of gigs do you play @ped??
-
Now I might be able to lay my hands on one of those. In the first instance I can just take one out of the PC and see if it fits.
-
Bomb-proof.
-
A bit too saucy...
-
I'm tempted to start a rival band called Gentleman Jam, but I would get into trouble.

I've swept everywhere, it's gorne. Thankfully no magnetic powder or swarf around. Good tip for cleaning up though.
