I know weve probably done this subject to death ove the past year but I really dont feel to bad about it today as I watch a vid of the who at glastonbury this year only roger daltry hasnt got either an i pad or a stand ,so in my mind now its ok to have the memory of a goldfish,like me.

Topic: First rehearsal new band (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Had the first session with my new trio yesterday and it went very well , we hired a room at Aquarius studios in Colne ,they were great and very helpful providing every thing we needed to just plug and play .We did a three hour session and tore though the set new songs old songs some of my original stuff and to be honest it was mostly good enough to have played to an audience, the guys who run the place commented that they couldn't believe we hadn't played together before ,I was quite over whelmed by the comments, but not as over whelmed as John the bass player when he remembered he'd not switched the recorder on ,so you'll have to take my word for now that it was good ,ah well next time ,must be an age thing !!!!!

Re: Band Formation (37 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Phill if you remember last year I mentioned the idea of a uk chordie fest , why not have a rethink about the idea then Bruce can get the opportunity to play in a band situation albeit for one day .I'm currently putting a UK band together and Im sure the guys would be happy to take part all though they are not chordie members .I'm hoping to be able to host a regular open mic session at the Victoria Hall at Settle with my lot as the "house band ".We had agreed on a monthly event on a friday or saturday before my illness . Having spoken to the manageress a couple of weeks ago it is still on the cards when I am deemed fit enough by the hospital .This would be an opportunity for people to play in a real theatre with a proper sound system.

Re: Digitech Trio (60 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
The trio is awesome I showed it to my friend whos gonna be playing bass with me later this year when I'm a bit fitter and he said what do you need me for when you have that.
Its a great tool especialy for practice, nearly as good as the reall thing ?certainly more reliable than one of our bass players ,no names mentioned.
