I just went in for the bands.....(was once asked to do the monitor mixing, but chickened out when I heard Tubbis getting abuse from bands). The club folk scared me, and I was too old & out of my comfort zone, even then. Mind you, later, a lovely place called Dr Drakes opened, and the regulars there were lovely.

Mr Stax...is your son a gothobilly?

Bands abuse Tubbus because it's Tubbus. It's in the contract.
Good job you chickened out, monitor mixing is not for the inexperienced, or anyone with skin thinner than a Rhino wearing 10 leather jackets.

True. We once took him along with us on a tour of the west coast purely for the abuse factor. It was great, really stopped the drummer abuse for two glorious weeks...
Funnily enough, saw him last year when we supported Miles Hunt in Insch. Hasn't. changed. a. bit...
Who was the guy that always used to do sound at the Venue? Long haired stoner guy. One of my first ever gigs there (Colin Cant and the Zimbabwe Five) we made the mistake of paying him to do our sound before we played. He went straight out and 'self-medicated' himself to the point that he was virtually passed out for the whole gig and never touched the desk once...

So he is useful for something.

I can't remember who used to do sound there, another one for the Cynic I think.
I was at that gig. I can't believe I've actually paid money to see you play.

Rod Grant? I'm not 100% on that so my apologies to any Rod Grants out there if I'm wrong.

It was Rae Campbell for a while....dunno if that's who you mean, although the description sounds in the correct ballpark. It was when he packed it in Tubbus was going to take over the sound desk, and I was offered the chance of being 'trained-up' for the stage sound, but, having observed closely for a couple of gigs I didn't fancy the grief (especially if it was bands I liked....I'd've been in floods of tears).

Now I've seen soundian in action I realise that there's nothing to it
