First "gig" in 31 years ...

OilCityPickups

Brilliant to hear you are climbing on the 'horse' again. My new band got it's first pub gig booked a couple of days ago ... we need some hard rehearsal to pull everything into shape ... but the coming to an end of five years without a regular band for me. You also have a set list that's not a million miles from our own
Good luck geezer!

Cheers Ash

Video evidence may be made available after the event, if we don't balls it up completely ....

Gigged most of those songs, I knew the bride was a regular in our set until recently. Sounds great.

TTony

Well, it's tomorrow.

And the bassist has just decided that he cba coming over beforehand to do a proper set-up and run through (as we agreed to do last week).  He's just going to turn up half an hour beforehand.

:x

Bassist required.  Mid-Suffolk area. 

TTony

Audio & video clips may follow tomorrow,

Right now, I'm wined.

Sounds good Tony.

A definite improvement over the rehearsal recording, Tony.

TTony

Thanks guys.

Still getting grief from my good lady (who was there) .... "you never told me you were singing" ... it was a bit of a surprise for her.

Disappointing number of guitar-related mistakes though - nerves, I think!

The more prominent mistakes are definitely not guitar related.
The drumming has improved but your bass player does need to un-rust (or concentrate on what he's supposed to be playing).

Let's just say that I'm not going to share any of the tracks on which he's doing vocals

Great work Tony. 

You were sounding pretty good I thought. 

Nice sound as well, what amp are you using, still my Tech21?

"Your" Tech 21??

Yup - that's the amp.  It's the HFS pickup on 10, (in the Bailey custom build) that really generates that though.  If I turn it down a notch or two, the sound cleans up considerably.  So I just keep it on 10.

You'd be most welcome to pop over sometime for a quick knock-about - give us the benefits of your somewhat greater experience and expertise.  

I think we'll need to find a new bassist, but the good ones seem to want to play/gig regularly and we don't usually have the time for that ...
