Had our first gig on Saturday at our favourite regular pub. A quieter than usual affair with restrictions in place. Good to get out and play again. We did pretty well considering. We have a booking in another regular, but much smaller, pub in early July which is still going ahead. We don't know how it's going to be managed as there is very little room around the 'stage' area. Bands will now be paid by the money from passing a hat around. The landlord has apparently been up country and this is how it's now done. Easy win for him and a gamble for us. We have cancelled our July gig and are not sure about the rest.

Do anything you want to do. Eddie and the hotrods

Keeping it on topic, another option is the Flare Audio ones are quite comfortable but I didn't get on with them as they cut the guitar too much for me compared to my custom moulded ones with elachin filters.

3 blind mice. Traditional

Chips on my shoulder. Soft Cell

Just had 2 rehearsals in a row. Ran through a set each time. Only a few songs had to be played more than once and we were pleasantly surprised how we got back into it after 15 months. Looking forward to our 1st gigs on Saturday which will have restrictions in place.

Rock the casbah. The Clash

Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The Beatles

Blue moon. Various

Union city blues. Blondie

(Roth not Travis 😂 above) Another day in paradise. Phil collins

Land of make belive. BucksFizz

Our pub gig on 26th is still on but with restrictions inside.

Mansons are great. Haven't been there for sometime though.

Big yellow taxi. Joni Mitchell

Shouldn't this thread be renamed with Autumn instead of Spring! We have 2 gigs booked before 19th July which are probably going to get cancelled.

Centerfold. J Geils Band

I've got a Marcus Miller Jazz on long term load from a friend which I'm keen to play. Really love this bass.

Speed of light. Joe Satriani

Mrs Mep and myself have started watching it and really like it.

Everybody Hurts. REM

A pocket of bassists

Same here. Our local pub wanted our band to be the first one back, so we shall see.

I've got a TC sub n up and occasionally us the octave up feature behind solos to help fill the sound.
