  1. Oh No , it must be a bit too subtle I don’t know how to do one of those spoiler things on the phone , so I’ll keep schtum for the moment, when I get back to the big machine I’ll try to explain
  2. Thank you for the thought, but it’s not actually my birthday Douglas, it’s just my take on the photo , I was looking for a way to introduce some smut into the proceedings and found it via the birthday present
  3. OK then , you asked for it, bass, guitars and vocal by me , drums and piano by something that knows far more about this than I do, the play it on its own piano ! some stuff from freesound which pops up towards the end Enjoy , its my Birthday
  4. Nah its not my band , they were stuck , I could help, not my responsibility at all. I have declined depping the pub gigs offered , the pubs can sort a different band, but I couldn’t see a wedding party left without the evenings entertainment
  5. Realistic offers would be considered if you are interested.
  6. I depped for the band I left last year, for 3 weddings over 2 weekends. They have hopes of having a ‘function band’ string to their bow. Together learned and played 5 new songs all for pennies , and at best could describe the performances as ‘functional’ I only did them so as not to ruin the customers day after my replacements replacement let the band down.
  7. Hmm let me think , it needs picking up , playing with and bouncing around to make it feel bigger , just like my pillows
  8. I’ve got a tune down , it needs fluffing a bit but it also needs vocals and I’m getting a bit sick of my own voice , I really don’t understand how you guys love my stuff so much . I’ll get my coat
  9. And all while doing a splendid Patrick Stewart impression , make it so dude
  10. What grinds my gears with songs from chart/pop/AirPlay genres is when half the lyrics are blanked out because they are unsuitable to air . FFS if the song isn’t suitable , don’t play it ! why promote this stuff when it is so full of language that has to be removed, that it really can’t tell the story it is intended to tell
  11. Having been a bit late offering the cab to a 'wanted' post, I have come to realise that I should really make this cab available to someone who needs it. I bought it with the RS210 as a rig , and while it is excellent when all set up , I have pretty much relied on the RS210 for gigging, and now I have left the band and only do the occasional dep for them , I reckon it is a bit extravagent having one of these tucked away in the cupboard of a smoke free, pet free home Ideally pick up from Chester but can travel a bit to meet up if needs must In padded cover Front rear underneath VGC and used last night at a wedding gig just to give it a run out Lurks
  12. bizarrely , I only started using earplugs then ACS in recent years and those cat scarers are loud enough to me , but I is down wiv the kidz
  13. Good timing for that observation, if y’all head on over to the recording section , the August composition challenge has just started. Now don’t be shy , you only have to listen to a few of mine to realise it is the taking part that counts, but it really is a great way open the creative musical muscles everyone’s welcome
  14. Well done @upside downer and @fingers211 great fun gents
  15. excellent gents, smiles all round from me with those tunes
  16. I admire your dedication dude , I only recently found out why I have got a music room , apparently Mrs Lurks' grandad had a baby grand , an organ, a euphonium, and a few other instruments that escape me , all in the front parlor of the house, thats why I am allowed one , though in honesty I didnt really seek permission , i just built it Anyway , enough distractions , Ive got five songs to learn for a wedding gig rehearsal tommorrow night ! I offer you SOLO
  17. All the above +1000 pick me please swing bass 77 short I’ll give you my address via PM regards Lurks
  18. I still enjoy gigging but have taken a sabbatical for a year so that I can claim back a bit of my social life . There’s nowt wrong to the social side of gigging , but the amount of family get togethers and weekends away that I have missed over the years has started to bug me . A year out and making good use of my weekends will dictate whether I join up as a weekend warrior again
  19. I should be back in the saddle this month , the toon is done but the vocal is shyte , I suspect it shall remain so i find it far harder to do these in the summer, the garden beckons , in fact all outdoors beckons , shutting the doors in the music room on myself doesn’t appeal the same as it does in the winter
  20. You don’t happen to wear a full nylon based stage outfit do you and sweat a lot
  21. Na , I ain’t fallen for that one any more
  22. Looking at that it seems like the actual neck has split at the joint . almost like the grain is running across the neck rather than along it. Good luck I hope you get your money back
  23. Pick collection! i guess this is a display thing rather than a ‘where the hell has my vast collection of Dunlop 0.5mm picks gone ‘ business card wallets would organise them simply using a lot less space https://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Business-Card-Wallet-Black/dp/B002WC7UDY
  24. The beautiful dulcet tones of my vocal chords , I’ve have owned them for nearly 57 years , they started out as the screams of a new born baby and have matured into the screams of a 56 year old dreamer
  25. . of course a fretless guitar is not as easy to intonate as a fretted
