23rd Dec 2010 another great night at the Picturehouse

Well last night was a really fun gig, by far the best one of the year I reckon. Started off a bit differently a friend of ours wanted to sing a song, so we did a cover of Stuck In the Middle with Ellie on vocals and Lee-Anne played bass, this went down very well indeed.
Ellie had never sung before in public and really enjoyed it.
Then it went to my set, I hadn’t really prepared the set just gone through a few songs at hope, as it turned out it was a varied set and went on for about an hour!

Set List:

Stuck in the Middle (with Ellie and Lee-Anne)
Fortunes Light (Played on a Mandolin)
Blue Sky
Feel
Don’t Look Back (Lloyd Cole song)
Crimson
Close Down
To Behold
Carnival Of Souls
Jessica
Love is a spirit (Arthur Brown song)
The Widow’s Blame (with a very extended guitar solo)

After the set we were treated to an encore of The mighty Super Punk Muffins Goth Detectives quality stuff, and a Quality night.

On the way home we went into Ali’s kebab shop in Newton for some food, and met a guy working there called Mehmet who played the Saz guitar, a wonderful sounding instrument I had a little go and it was very easy to make a tune up, but he was the master, was like our very own after show gig to go with out chips. Was a great gig, roll on Wednesday at the Cavern.

GP Electronics Amplifiers designed and built in Bovey Tracey

Image
The first guitar I ever saw, now with 2 amplifiers made by GP Electronics whom made the first Amplifier I ever saw.  When I was a boy I saw something very magical. It was called an Electric guitar and it had something equally as magical, a thing called an Amplifier. Both of these things were owned by a friend of my parents called John. The Guitar was a 1964 Gretsch Tennessean. When I was 16 I worked all summer on a Building site and saved up enough money to buy said guitar from him.  From that point onward I wished to acquire an amplifier as magical as that moment. This would prove to be a little bit more problematic because it wasn’t a Marshall or a Fender, or even a Sound City or a WEM it was made by GP Electronics of Bovey Tracey. The Small town on the Edge of Dartmoor that I grew up. Now GP stood for Gerry Pope a local inventor whom went from building amplifiers to controllers for hydro electric generators. I knew Gerry as well like John through my parents and...

Queen and Adam Lambert one for the moaners

So the question is how many bands that have been around almost 50 years still have the same line up and have never broken up ? Answer not many the closest is probably U2.  Most major bands have had so many line up changes over the years there may be only 1 or 2 original members left. Robert Smith is the only original member of the Cure, Dave Brock for Hawkwind, Nick Rhodes for Duran Duran & Chris Squire for Yes. Drummers Fair well in that the only long serving original members of Pink Floyd, the Yardbirds & The Animals are the Drummer. Nobody batters an eyelid in that Lynyrd Skynyrd have hardly any original members because of the fateful air crash. Or lack of original members of Big Country  or Thin Lizzy. So why last night was social media full of venom for what Queen are doing these days? Freddie died in 1991 and the band carried on finishing off music and while John Deacon retired Brian and Roger carried on with various musical projects my answer is this Why the...

Roger Waters - This is not a Drill - Prague - In the Cinema 25th May 2023

Image
Usually if Roger Waters was to go on tour I'd go to at least 2 shows. This time however I decided not to. Mostly because the sheer cost of hotels and travel is through the roof at the moment, never mind the ticket.  Secondly I didn't enjoy the 'Us and Them' show that much. After the sheer perfection of touring The Wall how can you top that ? well you simply can't. Also I found some of his band very lacklustre specifically the drummer who was nowhere in the same ball park as the outstanding Graham Broad (whom I spotted in the audience of the Hyde Park gig a few years ago). Now its not the first time on Seeing a Roger Waters show in the cinema but it was the first time seeing a 'Live' show. I say 'Live' but there is some kind of recording as its being shown at 8pm and as Prague is 1 hour ahead of the UK then there will have been an element of time delay.  The show started with the new arrangement of Comfortably Numb. and straight away something felt wr...
