What an absolutely amazing weekend. You all need to give yourselves a massive pat on the back. Every single person engaged, had a go, and got involved. There were some real characters, and some stunning performances. I am genuinely impressed with the attitude and talent I saw over the 2 days.
In my experience any event along these lines can be too intense, too cliquey (?), to intimidating, lots of egos on display and a bit of a let down. This event was none of those things, I saw nothing but sincere encouragement and support all round.
I'm thrilled by all the nice things people have said about my little studio. I love the place and it's so cool to hear that other people do too.
My highlights:
-Ed. Just Ed. His have-a-go attitude was truly inspiring. His vocals on paranoid and Ace of Spades will be forever remembered with a smile
-Alnico's infectious enthusiasm and determination to nail the solo in Comfortably Numb. And he did.
-The gig. The whole atmosphere was fantastic. Last weekend I played at a festival in front of several thousand people, and I enjoyed the Fretboard gig at a bloody bowling club in Huddersfield just as much.
My lowlights:
-My studio computer deciding to give up towards the end of Sunday. Huge apologies to those few remaining folk who missed out recording the last couple of songs.
-Breaking my aviator shades so I couldn't wear them while playing Danger Zone. Which was brilliant.
I'm honestly looking forward to the next one whenever that may be. You are all very welcome to come and do the whole thing again in my humble establishment.
For me, actually having time to have a chat with people and get to know them a bit made all the difference.
Late night hotel session with @modellista @sticker & @Phil_aka_Pip was particularly nice, just to get to know them better - even better when @alnico & Audrey and @CustomPedalBoards (who was pishedd and got left behind) turned up briefly.. still not sure how/why they came to the hotel that was completely out of the way for them.. Pretty sure we put the world to rights.
The whole Saturday was so relaxed.. plenty of chance to play everything, guitar, bass, drums.. might even make some noises into the mic next time..
With the studio recordings it seemed we shot through them.. the less regimented, less organised freestyle way, to me, really seemed to work. Not sure if @Legionreturns or @Bridgehouse can remember last time - how did the speed or recordings / changeover between songs compare? How many did we get through each time?
The Sunday was great too.. think there were a few sore heads.. so a lot more sitting and quiet chatting/playing with gear.
Except when Rockin in the free world jam started - genius suggestion @pmbomb
My personal favourite bit of gear form the weekend was @sticker 's John 5 Tele.
Saying that was a pleasure to meet all of you (again).
Cheers
I took my YBTB rig, expecting to instantly generate 20 good leads for new contracts, but all I got was a drunk welshman slurring abusive lyrics to a Bob Marley tune
