We have a wedding gig in August and I'm already dreading it! 

Ach its months away. After my plaster came off i rode my sports bike to the physio at the local hospital and she gave me a rollocking for it but as i explained my leg was encased in motorbike boots with 5 straps up the side. It was stronger than the plaster i had on.

She wasn't happy but i had no other way of getting there. I couldn't walk to my nearest bus stop to get a bus as it was difficult walking at that time plus the walk from the bus stop to the physio was even longer.

Lovely time had by all showcasing the new project "A little more Gilmour' Dave Gilmour & Pink Floyd tribute act

Very interested in this. A bit more info and / or vids would be nice.

Are you covering his solo material as well. So many options there.

Yes lots of Dave Gilmour solo material plus some Floyd ... It's an interesting project.. Guy Pratt is a great player! 

Showreel to follow shortly!

What a cracking gig last night with Nine Lives at the Balaclava in Fraserburgh.  What can I say, it was busy and loud, with an audience who were bang up for a dance and a sing along.  Can't really ask for much more than that.  Genuine goosebumps moment when enough folk were singing The Cranberries "Zombie" back at us such that we could hear it over ourselves.  You know you've had a great gig when packing up doesn't tire you out.  Can't really say much more than that.  Probably pay for this with a paid rehearsal next week - karma's a b!tch

 

Gear was the Sire Z7 then the Epiphone T-bird into the ISO standard bass rig.  Shout out to the Thunderbird, it was sounding epic last night, and I felt godly playing it.  Oh and I got called "the coolest MF" by a punter last night after we finished.  My ego happily accepts your compliment, sir!

 

And have a bit of bonus video...

Played Northern Guitars in Leeds on Friday with Heisenbug. Northern Guitars is a great venue in a busy area of town so plenty of passers by stopping and coming in. Crowd seemed to appreciate our all originals set. Chasing after more bookings now...

Check out the crazy drum kit!

Yep i'm a big fan of Guy Pratt ever since seeing Delicate Sound of Thunder original video tape which for me had a better mix than the re-release they did. His bass solo was outstanding in that vid.

Played  at the Cart & Horses in the East End on Friday night with the Zep tribute. If you didn't know, this is the venue where Iron Maiden cut their teeth, which of course you would never guess from the complete lack of memorabilia around the place, Maiden themed beers and wine at the bar and everything in the familiar IM font...! 😉 

 

A bit of an odd gig, as we had a dep drummer for the night, which as you might imagine is a tough gig for a drummer to dep. The guy we got in had been struggling at a couple of rehearsals we managed to get in, but he did fine. Not perfect, but not a disaster by any means! Great audience and Didge even managed to work the Eastenders theme into his keys solo!
