The third video in my series of “equipment” videos is now loaded up on YouTube. I just need to find the time to make it public. I’ll pass on the link when I have done so.
My first video has had over 20,000 views and the second one is over 3,000. So all good stuff and it’s nice that people find them useful? Well I hope they do.
The latest one explains how my pedal board is set up and why it is the way it is. Possibly it passes on a few useful tips?
There is also has a short section at the end demonstrating the Orange Micro terror 20Watt valve amp. I don’t go into great detail about this as quite frankly there is not a lot to show other than how it could be used as a “get you through the gig” spare if your main amp dies.
Hmm, just had a gig cancelled – Wheatsheaf festival in Preston on August 4th? The bands for this were being booked through an agency and we were one of them; apparently the agency is no longer supplying the bands. Obviously I will follow up direct and see if we can salvage anything so all may not be lost.
Thursday night we were in the Raven in Crewe- what a nice place and fabulous people. Wasn’t heaving but we had a great time as the ones that were there were really having fun. We return in August.
Last night was the second of three gigs on the run, the Bath in Morecambe. We have played the Bath several time including New Year’s Eve which I think was the last time? Went well.
Tonight it’s a local gig when we return to the Saughall Hotel.
Tomorrow I sleep haha
Ok,
Rock & Roll
