we had a great weekend , following from the Saturday party , we had a wedding to do on the Sunday , as it was up the coast and paying very well , I booked a room at the posh(ish) hotel and took the family , as did rhythm guitar. We set up really early , which was just as well as the venue had a stage set up which was far too small, but a chat with the manager and it was all taken away in time ,so we set up on the floor as normal. we pretty much had the day to ourselves and then had the craic with the wedding party as the families were invited in as well . We had learned 4 new tunes for the couple and the first dance was aerosmith, Dont want to miss a thing , we kept it simple and slowly ramped it up and by the end they were all in a group hug and crying their eyes out , it was an incredible start to a gig. we played for an hour , gave them a good break and smashed it for the rest of the night , lovely couple, superb occasion , superb venue . I had been looking forward to this weekend all year , and it didn't disappoint , but back to reality , I have a week off work to get busy on building work for my new kitchen extension and August is quiet for the band as the lads tend to use it for family holidays . so its not back to gigs till September 3rd , but that is a quality one so looking forward to that as well !

We played for an hour at our rhythm guitarists 50th party, it was the only time in the 6 years of the band that everyone had had a few drinks and we were on fire ! Even my daughter thought it was great , and that is a rare occurrence

Its daft , but I let soundcloud run through the tracks I like after checking my own uplload , and end up listening through previous months entries , it always brings a smile .

I have struggled for time for any number of reasons this month so my playing on this one is a touch sloppy me thinks, but needs must when the devil drives https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/room-just-room

Would a pan and bag pipe duet be a travesty or a phallusy:)

Wow , is that the date already !! That came around quickly:) Well done Mornats a great piece, really set the scene well .

excellent stuff again, a very enjoyable listen, I had to listen through a couple of times for my third pick but quality entries again gents

I am done , I have kept it simple , I hope you enjoy https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/what-welders-wear

Well I have started one now , I am just about managing to get a bit done when it is hammering down , We are mad busy at work and I have an extension to finish building so it is a struggle to catch an hour here and there , and even then it takes me an hour to remember how to play the last bit I just did !

Is that Fleagle from the banana splits :-) ........ Na na na , nana Na na , na na na na nana na na :-)

Well done Mornats , very professional piece and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent field as well, another quality month

I do marks out of 10 as well but then I had to start using half marks to split them

Voted I could stick a pin in them to choose to be honest , great stuff , some incredibly professional sounding tracks in there , outstanding .

A great gig at the old kings head in Chester last night , they were dancing from the first number , we put 4 new ones in the set and they all went down a storm , I found a really good setup for the Zoom synth for dont stop believing and we got great compliments from the bar 2 more pub dates and 2 parties booked , result

I'm in , I have a lot on at the moment so it is a simple entry from me , I am sure it could have done with a bit more time on it but needs must as they say . https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/town-hall-behind-town-hall-behind

That was some staging for the Russians , what a display , incredible !!

It is certainly moving along quicker this year , some decent toons aswell , really good doff of the cap to Sir Tell at tune 9 , I joined in the toast

Brilliant , very exciting stuff , especially as I am in there , 4 photos for inspiration next month then I am sure someone will come along and do the necessary

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1461708082' post='3037086'] Voted..... Exceptional entry from lurks this month. Great work.

[/quote] Why thank you sir , you are most kind , and I am very pleased you enjoyed it

Voted , great stuff again and humbled to see I have picked up a few votes , many thanks all

[quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1461369793' post='3034178'] ............... lol. I mean, people paid to watch man netball,.... [/quote] I thought that was funny

OK I'm in , a bit rushed this month as I am in the middle of a new kitchen extension and I can only get music time when the sun goes down so here it is , it was supposed to be skate punk but it is what it is , I hope you enjoy https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/downhill-fast

I am hoping for some inspiration tommorrow , the lad is popping round to give me a lift with some heavy stuff , but if he comes early enough he can grunt a vocal for me , lurksalittle likes the tune and the basics are laid down , but it properly needs a vocal. on a technical note , I have found a reverb that I like after 2 years of looking , probably because it sounds totally like I am listening to the sound in the room , even though I have my headphones on . this in itself probably says more about the acoustics of my room than it does about my ability to mix
