Awesome. Just played the main stage at Buckle and Boots festival near Manchester. Wicked fun, great feedback from the crowd. Can’t wait to see some of the photos and footage! www.katyhurt.com

Take care @Dood - we are here to support however you need it 🫂

Sounds about right!

Absolutely agree. I say overkill because of our drummist was a bit less heavy handed we’d all be able to use less on stage and not need ear protection

Overkill for a pub 😃

To catch all those up who need it (which I hope is ok?) - our wonderful friend @Dood put a message on Facebook that he’s thinking the unthinkable due to the current state of affairs and his monetary situation. His Shuker 7 string is synonymous with him, was entirely conceived by him and built to his specs by Mr Shuker. It’s a true one off for a one-off lovely guy. I for one am happy to help out a brother in need.

Stuart just bought a bass from me - I cannot praise him enough. Excellent comms, swift payment, patient with me procrastinating for several months… a great chap 🙂

I’m sure we can find a Six10 somewhere down here just to *really* fosters them off 😀

Sorry about the drama llamas’ early visit! At least the gig was good 😎

Going to Southampton on Sunday to see Florence Black and The Hot Damn! with MiniMert 🤘🏻

Thanks Graham, great to see you too! I’d taken almost all the bass out of the rig by the time we played but being in the corner like that will have been giving me quite a decent acoustics boost - not my finest hour of knob twiddling it seems 😅 Pick sound was pretty good onstage too. Much to learn!

Played a party, depping for @Graham again as he… was a guest at the party 😀 No pressure then…. 😆 I had fun even if the acoustics were a bit crappy, it was either boom or toppy clank and nothing I did seemed to make much difference. Hopefully it sounded better out front! Gave my new Zoot Funkmeister P5/32 an airing, man it’s such a comfortable instrument to play - thanks @Cosmicrain 😊

These were getting in the way in the house, so they moved to the garage, where they got in the way. We’re about to convert our garage to a music room, so these have to go. Collection only from Horley, Surrey

Bugger. It’s been a few months since I used that feature to be fair.

Moises allows you to post a YT link too, I’ve used it for that a few times

It is indeed! We’re at the Nightingale in Sutton on 7th May

It’s more fun for everyone in the end as they’re not hearing Sweet Child O Mine or All Right Now for the millionth time. They get edumacated on newer shizz 🤓

Cracking gig with the modern rock covers band (called Wednesday’s Child). It’s always a risk playing songs which nobody knows to a crowded pub but we went down great. I think it’s the best we’ve played yet, even my BVs weren’t horrendous, and we had a blast. Had some lovely feedback during the break and at the end, people commenting on how it was cool to see a band enjoying themselves so much, or how, despite not knowing the songs immediately, the energy and passion brought them across really well and played into bringing the crowd out of their shells. Great fun. And yes, the drummist had spent the week prior to this cleaning his kit 😂
