    Not me. I've done paid gigs, but only makes a small dent in the cost of instruments, consumables, rehearsals, petrol etc. (And my instrument spend is very low compared to to typical BCer).

    Which is in itself ironic. Therefore it does contain one ?? In which case it's a paradox.

    No problem in principal with lending gear. I like to help a fellow musician and may need help at some point myself. In practice maybe not something with high financial or sentimental value, and maybe not if the reason for needing the loan is a bit flimsy. Understand that some folk here have been burned in the past though.

    Yeah, I remember Elvis. We were on a family holiday - one of those 'cruiser' boats on the Thames where you sleep on the boat. We were moored up overnight my dad went to the shops in the morning to get a paper etc. The first thing he said, as soon as he was within earshot, was "Elvis is Dead".

    Yes, my (recently disfunct) punk and new wave covers band did all stuff I loved from my youth. But we did cover the stuff I loved from after that era like My Bloody Valentine or Pixies or whatever. All the bands before that was music I was totally into (mainly originals).

    I think we knew the Beatles and some of their songs. But not so much the individual names and definitely not how important they were to people.

    No pun intended?

    My class was 14/15 when John Lennon was killed. Our English teacher gave over the next lesson to John. We weren’t really sure who John Lennon was. It must have been a big deal for the teacher though.

    Maybe so, but he iconic though.

    Not exactly a gig, but a Fado night in Porto

    I think Mustang Sally will be the cockroach of the music world and survive even the Nuclear holocaust .

    Piano Red.

    What is the physics behind that? Not that I will necessarily understand the answer 🙁.

    And were a band before Alex Harvey.

    I saw them supporting Yard Act a few months ago. Great band... very cool, especially the bass player.

    Doesn't speak much, but when he does it's worth listening to. Or am I thinking of someone else?

    I think Dylan is more than a good songwriter. I like him as a singer and his musical arrangements are good too. There have been plenty of great covers, that much I do agree with.

    Is there anyone here who supports the “bass should be felt and not heard” viewpoint? (not me)

    I mean, you don’t go to the cinema for a big name projectionist. Disclaimer: Projectionists may not exist anymore.

    Heinz was, of course, originally a bass player in the Tornadoes. Promoted as a solo artist by Joe Meek due mainly to Meek’s infatuation with Heinz. Unreciprocated according to Heinz.

    I wasn't aware of it, but when I used to travel a lot with work this would have been a great option. I'd think it would be worth a try in your situation too.

    FB gave me the answer.... it's Sinead O'Brien ( I'd been searching for Edna O'Brien - who is an author)

    Maybe switch to guitar eh?
  24. Nail Soup
    Listening to Courtney Barnett's first LP (Well I count it as such) - "the 2 EPs"... ooh must be nearly 10 years old now.
  25. Nail Soup
    I wouldn't. Mind you I haven't seen your idea from the front.
