  1. A friend of my wife was friendly with Les Gray back in the day. I know the current guitarist/vocalist and the keyboard player of Mud2.
  2. The Rock Formation returned to The Ashton Club in Bicester last night. Delayed start due to the football but all seemed to enjoy themselves. Dep drummer had a new kit which sounded good. We messed up All these things by The Killers somehow which is odd as it's always in our set list. Don't think the well oiled punters noticed though!
  3. Sky Arts showing parts 1 and 2 Led Zeppelin In the Light tonight at 10.00pm. Interviews and rare recordings of performances apparently.
  4. We've played Wizzard and Mud ones in the past but with a different vocalist.
  5. We're playing it safe this year and just planning to do Slade on the 2nd and 9th December.
  6. Great night for our debut at Halley's Comet in MK last night. Our drummer is quite poorly at the moment so had a dep who hadn't played with us for a while but he did a good job. Landlady very happy, paid us extra and promised a re-booking next year. No pics I'm afraid.
  7. Last night saw us return to The Eager Poet in Milton Keynes. Smaller audience than last time but was quite lively at times. We had a dep drummer which changed the dynamic at times and a led to a couple of mistakes as a result but nothing too bad.
  8. Another plus 1 for great service from Ashdown. A few years ago now I had a power supply blow a couple of weeks or so out of warranty. They shipped a replacement to me foc!
  9. As a few have said, it takes more than just talent to be in a band. Hope you get sorted one way or another.
  10. I think Alvin Lee was from Beeston bit not certain. I knew someone who claimed he lived next door to him in his younger days.
  11. Played a local festival yesterday, late afternoon spot. We seemed to go down well and the rain managed to hold off!
  12. He lived locally to me although I didn't know him personally, a couple of my friends did. RIP Bernie.
  13. Just back from Cowperfest, a local beer festival. Good crowd although we had a good downpour right on our last number.
  14. Another Bass-Lead-Amp player here. Works for me in my current band.
  15. @Gasman How is the HB "Mustang" weight wise and is there any neck dive?
  16. The Rock Formation returned to The Ashton Club in Bicester last night. Was a great night with an appreciative audience, looking to re-book us again.
  17. We had a woman whose trousers and knickers kept dropping down somewhat at the back exposing a good bit of her backside at a gig a few years back!
  18. Saturday night saw us return to The Victoria Club in Aylesbury. Room is up stairs (no lift) so not a good load in and finding somewhere to park a nightmare. Small audience, but we seemed to have been well received. Our drummer was not available so his brother depped and did a good job.
  19. Great night at The Prince Albert in Milton Keynes, really good appreciative audience and great feedback. Re-booked for December.
  20. Great gig at The Eager Poet in Milton Keynes last night. Plenty of singing and dancing!
  21. Although never played the song live I did try and learn the solo in Bullfrog Blues by Rory Gallagher. I think I failed pretty miserably though!
  22. I think we've all had gigs like that unfortunately Blue.
  23. First gig of 2023 saw us return to a localish social club last night. Was a fairly good turn out and we seemed to go down well. We are back there again in September.
