Bill on UK radio today  there was an interview  with  Dave Clark and  it  seems  that   BBC 2 have  a  documentary that  is  being  shown  on Sunday Feb 15th  so  if  you  have  access to a proxy server then you  should  be  able  get it  via  the  BBCs i player  service alternately you  can probably  watch it  live  using  Filmon.com.

I saw DC5 at Blackpool in the 60s when they had bits and pieces in the charts  they were guesting on the Dick Emery show which was playing a summer season at the winter gardens theatre.they mimed to two songs and smiled alot at the audience and dancing girls.

I have the joyo classic over drive its a fantastic pedal and  as willholt says a fraction of the cost of a tube screamer

I stand  I  find that  sitting  restricts my lung power  so I  tend  to have  the music stand  around  waist  high  so  I  can see it  but  the  audience  can see me .

Great  sound  would  have loved to see  more  loved it

Bill theres  a lot  of my  stuff on you  tube ,reverbnation  and  sound cloud some  solo   some  with  GB Blues band

This  is  my  take  on it  Jim  if  you dont  like  it  I'll delete  it  from You tube

Bill it  was  only  me  and  the band that  realised what  had  gone  wrong the audience  seemed unaware .
I think we are  always  our  own worst  critics, which can be  a  good  thing  as it  keeps  you  humble .
I  would  hope  never to become  a prima donna  like  some I  have  observed  .
A  few  years  back I was in the  same show  as  a famous  Greek TV personality  who  played a rock star in his show ,he arrived  sat on top  of  the  courteously bus refusing  to ride inside it ,  spent most  of  his set  riding a  skate board  round  the  stage  and shouting at  the  sound  guy  when he  felt  his  mic wasn't  right ,at  the  hotel  he just  disrespected his  band  and wouldn't speak  to  us  "mortals"  What  an A*****e!!!!!!! this  was  some  one  who  really  needed to  look inside himself and take on board  criticism.

The  thing  about  self  criticism is you always know  when you  have  played  the  bum note  or forgot  the  words ,half  of  the  time  if  youve  got  the  start  and  finish  right  the  audience  dont realise ,( our  old  fiddle  player taught me  that   a long  time  ago )I  remember   once  completely  making  a  total  balls of Seven nations  army  and  the  audience   calling  for  us  to  play it again  at  he  end  of  the  set ,(maybe  they  wanted  to  see  if  I  could  get  it  right, lol )

Thanks  Bill I  appreciate  the  compliment

Good song cant wait to give it a go
