Dibs, pay you next week when I get home?

I've got a cigarette burn about the size of a 2p coin by my right elbow that I got from dare while drinking with a biker gang in Cincinnati.

DO IT!!! Moorings Bar, double bill with the Malpasos. You'll be a hero! People will sing your praises for eons and build a statue of you taller than the Queen Mother's! And to open the show? the fugging Acid Facists again. Or Devil Train if they're still on the go- Balls. It would be the freeking balls.

Shame, really, that's a great playing guitar and sounds good too.

Sad news indeed. He was a great player and a fantastic person. No too many of his generation left....

Thanks guys. I broke down and bought one onthe web last week so I'm all set.

Matt, Andy has that dialed in now, we had the best stage sound ever last time we were in. We ran the amps a little louder on stage so they could work a little harder. Just perfect. And it still sounded great out front...

Hey Matt, are you getting married to Karen? If so, I think we are playing your wedding. If not, then dump the flakey band, PM me and I'll fix everything for you....

Frailers in runcorn is where I'd go

*crap*, saw this too late. I've got a '73 superlead and a JCM800 4x12 that need a new home if anyone else is still unfulfilled....

It's not cheeky at all if you just agree it up front when you're booking the gig (and get it in writing while you're at it). Showing up with guests in tow is a crappy idea. But asking for it when you're booking is normal and is what pros do. I always ask for a guest list, so I can get wives/girlfriends in and keep the band happy. But (and this is more important) so I can comp someone from the press, shoot a couple of tickets to a radio DJ, whatever I need to do that week to promote the gig. Any promoter that doesn't agree is shooting themselves in the foot, and funny enough, I almost never have a problem.

anyone selling one?

Well, I agree about checking first, but for the shit money that most gigs pay in town, promoters should get hip to the simple idea that band members +1 is morally and ethically correct. If I want to use those spaces for wives or a party of Armenian driving instructors on a hen night that's my call, but in either case most of them bring friends that pay the cover and you get more bodies in the room that makes for a better gig.

Depends on the style I suppose. Through a fender amp it's the perfect tone. If you like that real high gain Gary Moore tone you'd probably prefer a solid body...

Still got it. Took it out to the moorings last month, it's a killer.....

Hey, just tell Stef to head over to Musa and we'll just play together before his Globe Gig. Blindman and Barrelhouse can do the setup...

Pm sent......

a little goat? isn't that Mexican slang for a cuckold?

Hey, I think I'll check that out!

yawn....

They must be, they certainly don't have much time to rehearse...

A 'top' act that only rehearses once a week? Scandal, I tell you, scandal. How far standards have fallen...

Well, your kicking our asses so far. We may need to resort to some Florida style politics to catch up...

I don't care about the Deportees, (aren't they french?), it's those wasted votes for a cup of tea that worry me. Don't these people get out, or are they spending their free time with Aunt Mildred talking about what dangerous place the world has become? "Remember, pinkies out, girls. Proper deportment and all".... Fuck me, I weep for the future.
