Topic: Settle Station event .

19 and 20/07/25 we had  a special  event   on The  settle  to  Carlisle  railway   at   Settle  station  . The  organisers  asked  for  a  bit  of  local  music  to  greet   the  travellers using  the  station . I  was  asked  to  play   on the Sunday  , My old  band  Ronnie  and the  Rockits   played   on the  Saturday .
We  all  had  a  lot  of  fun   and expect  there  will  be  more  events  on the  line   in the  future .
So  heres  a  brief  clip  of  my  self  and my friend  Ken Larkins   doing  Rock me baby

Re: Settle Station event .

Good sound coming through that small amp Grah, 2 guitars and vocals. I like the tent, so how did your old band manage to fit in there?     

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

Graham, 
That was the Ribblehead train station in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

That railway looks so cool.

Two years I rode a train from Edinburgh to London - 6 hours  but iw was very scenic and beautiful

Re: Settle Station event .

Phil  we    had  2  amps    and  a  mixer    I  fed  my   rig and mic  through  the  mixer   and my  40  watt cube , Ken used  my  street  cube for  his guitar  and  mic. I  pre  recorded  bass  and  drums  onto  my  loop  for each   track ,  I  played  2  verses   and  a  chorus   on each  loop  so  it  was   easy  to    run thr  loops  for  what  ever    length  we  wanted  .Jim   and  Paul  the    regular  members  of  Growing  Old  Disgracefully    had  other  projects unfortunatley   hence  the  backing  tracks .
