Ashdown RM series. Great amps, great features, great customer service. Hard to beat.

Our band setup is similar to yours. Only guitar and he goes through the PA. Initially we bought 15" active EV tops as the drums were going through and this worked OK as we only play pubs. Our new drummer has a sub so the kick drum has more oomph now. These can cost so of you find a good second hand one then great. For monitors look for some cheap active ones that can link together. You won't need to get too carried away with size or power for your set up if they are good quality and only used for vocals and maybe a bit of guitar. ×1 For good quality cables etc.

Or Big Valves!

Nothing comes up for me either.

At last Macca's set is on the iPlayer.

I can't see Macca's set on iPlayer. I didn't stay up to watch it all due to the 1 hour delay, which I find odd by the BBC. Hoping to watch the remaining today?

Especially those called Sally.

Hi there. Nice bass collection.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

He's still wearing his shorts! Bumped into him near Minehead a couple of years ago. We watched him enter and his exposed legs were the first thing we saw coming through the door! Didn't recognise him till he sat down near us. Mrs Mep had her photo taken with him and I had to crop her out before sharing.

And a load of cheese too.

I wonder if he was at the illegal rave held at the airfield on Davidstowe moor over the jubilee weekend, reliving those hippie memories? https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2022-06-05/illegal-moor-rave-attended-by-hundreds-continues-into-third-day

Me and Mrs Mep watched it and enjoyed it. We are both just old enough to member them back in the day.

It's on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194368628626?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D6172f9049eae45c89e151a5a04684f88%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D233596029364%26itm%3D194368628626%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Adf16a838-e632-11ec-80ba-4a68fbd90202|parentrq%3A3d0cfe421810a4d7cfebe48cffff620e|iid%3A14

The cantilevered bridge!

Livewire - AC/DC

Charles is great. Another quality video if his.

Great song. We used to do the Muse version, which was a blast to play and went down well.

I'm quite a Hawkwind fan and have read a few Michael Moorcock books. When Chronicles came out we were well into it. Some great songs and well produced . H L-L guitar was outstanding. At the time our band partly modelled ourselves on Hawkwind and Needle Gun and Moonglum were in our set, along with some other HW songs. Unfortunately we had a poor female singer at the time and after seeing a video of a gig we realised it wasn't working with her and we packed it in. The guitarist and I moved on with an original project. I have fond memories of my late teens and early twenties listening to to Hawkwind and reading MM books. I live on Devon and Hawkwind were regularly playing some minor festival nearby, so got the chance to see them love indoors and our quite a few times.

Indeed, that would be a stain on your reputation!

One of my musical lightbulb moments was at secondary school studying for GSE music around 1980. One aspect was to listen to different musical styles. One of the albums was Dark Side of the Moon. I've been a massive Floyd fan ever since.
