Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand

Enjoyed that, good sound for just two of you. First thing I noticed was the mini speakers, so I'll say it again good sound. I've never heard that played live before, well done.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand

Thanks  Phill there  is  a  story  about  the  speakers  . My  nephew  was  suposed  to  provide  the  PA  but he  wasnt  able  to  deliver due  to  family  comitments  .So  I  put  together  a  mini  system with  our  studio monitors    and  a  small  mixer  as  there  was  just  2  of  us  I felt  it  would  be  enough ,each  monitor   is  70 watts   and  was  enough  to    cover   the  small  area  surrounding  the  band stand . Best  thing  about  it   was  the  price  I paid  £20  for  the  2  speakers   from a  charity  shop   £25  for  the  mixer   from ebay   and  £25 for  the  stands from amazon  so  for  just  £70   I  put  together  a  PA suitable  for    small  bars   or  garden partys  and  we  had  a  great  gig .

Why can I never find bargains like that? As I've retired now I have a load of gear to sell...according to my wife

Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand

Interesting Brian I didn't know they had recorded a sequal to the song we covered .I've just listened to it on you tube .Thanks for the info G

Re: Live from Ilkley Band stand

Grah
yeah they did a few songs on the snoopy theme
would be good if you kept the xmas one in mind and introduce it to
your audiences come the time,as its a cracker.
i think only a hit in NZ.i guess a smaller market here and many songs
got a chance to be heard nationally.
rock on
