Nail Soup

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?

Listening to Courtney Barnett's first LP (Well I count it as such) - "the 2 EPs"... ooh must be nearly 10 years old now.

I wouldn't. Mind you I haven't seen your idea from the front.

I'll go for relatively melodic.... In the early Crass records, you could consider the basslines (Pete Wright) as the sole melodic element:

Just a personal viewpoint coming up, I realise that loads of people here love choosing tuners and stuff........ I wouldn't have a custom guitar or bass made for me as I have no idea what tuners I like best and don't want to invest any time/effort into finding out. I prefer to just buy an off-the-shelf guitar and let the manufacturer make the choice. Sorry to not really answer your question, hope you get some meaningful answers from others!

I try to have a go on drums now and again.... lucky if it happens more than once in a year though. I stood in on drums (rehearsal only!) a couple of times for my old band when the drummer was away. I was much better than either of the other two guys would have been, but nowhere near good enough to gig it. Good fun though! occasionally book a rehearsal room and have a bash to some tracks I record at home. In fact, I reckon I'm due a drum session any time now 🙂.

I heard a few great songs by this artist, but they didn't have an album so I'm waiting for it.... should be around about now. Liked her so much that I can't remember her name 🙂 ! I'll have to post a question on one my FB groups....... I think someone will know!

There has to be something to reel you in.

To be fair (no pun intended) Fairport's music does actually sound British.

Birth Certificates I suppose 😉
