Not a bassist, but this is Peter Dinklage apparently playing in a ska band (YES!) in the mid 90s.

When I first read it, this is as far as I got and it amused me greatly Will be great to see you again, missed you last year. Spare bed available at my gaff if you need it.

Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant

Highway To Nell - AB/CD

Nutkin City Limits - Ike & Tina Turner

Pop Goes The Weasel - nursery rhyme

Before I joined the ska band in late 2017, they played at a pub one night when a fight broke out, and they only stopped playing when a chair was thrown out of a window (in a Wild West stylee) and broken glass went everywhere. We've not been back there since... In answer to the OP, I wouldn't go back to that venue if they paid me 200 quid and a steak dinner. There is never an excuse for stage invasion or assaulting the band.

Ditto and ditto!

One of my bands rehearses an hour away, the other 45 minutes. Both are reasonably close to my workplace, so I tend to make rehearsal days my "not working at home today" days. Luckily neither band rehearses more than once a month. An hour is about as far as I'd go.

How 'Bout US - Champaign

John Hall is on the phone to his lawyers, Messrs. Suem, Grabbit & Runne, as we speak.

Robbery, Assault and Battery - Genesis

Luxury. Any of you that ever played the Tunnels (RIP) in Bristol will well remember the changing cupboard, errm I mean room there.

Ah, but is that budget popcorn?

More for me. Yay

Neo-prog. Frost* - Black Light Machine Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here IQ - The Narrow Margin

Feet, Don't Fail Me Now - Joy Crookes

Good choice sir 👍🏻

Wait, what?

Phew, that was close!

But that's the whole point. It's a Hall of FAME, not a Hall of Quality. It's entirely about being well-known by yer average punter. I've been deeply involved in music of all (well, very many) genres since the early 80s, but I still had to google Kim Mitchell. 'Quality' is a whole lot more subjective than 'Fame'. So I fear the back-slapping canapé-infested sleazenight is going to remain on your ignore list, as it will on mine TBH.

Deadman's Curve - Jan & Dean

This is possibly the coolest thing ever. It could only be improved by racing stripes on the bass.

That I can well believe. I have a fiver on my bedside table that has been there for months. Every so often I stuff it in my pocket before going out, and every time it comes home with me again
