Gig on Sunday 26th May at the Caldmore Festival in Walsall with the band Khaliq.
I had my one rehearsal with them last night which went great.
I did the same festival with them last year when the bass player was out of the country on a a different tour.

He has now left and they are keen for me to step in and do some work full band gigs with them.

To hear some of the tracks have a look at soundcloud

I'm not playing on any of their existing material but I've been invited to do some bass on the next album which is being recorded next month.

Sounds like you're going to be pretty busy V, good luck with the new band and style. It's good to have a few different projects going on. I've just been asked to join a grateful dead tribute which will mean learning a whole new set and a completely different approach to the bass as Phil could never be described as your typical rock bassist.

Well hopefully you get some gigs further south of the border.

All the best mate.

Couple of video's from the rocky gig I did a few weeks back.
The sound is not great but you can get an idea of the kind of music the band play.

Your bass sounds great Jazzyvee! It really cut through the mix well & even with the sound on the video you can tell it was very solid & punchy! I really liked the 2nd song & the melodic lines you were doing!

Bill if you are reading, there were more dead people at my last gig than live people at this one. I'm not sure if the band marketing people are doing things right..... :-)
In actual fact the function we were booked for was cancelled but we decided we would still play at the pub anyway.

6 people in the band, max of about 8 people in the bar and by the time we finished there were 2 plus the barman. We played great though and the singers were fantastic.

As you can see I took my Series II but it was hard to hear the nuances I was trying to get with it being such a small room with low ceiling.

Great fun though. Love that bass It doesn't have a name yet but at the moment I call it the white bass as that way my girlfriend knows which one I am using. Actually Ive started asking her, which bass should I take to particular gigs and she chose this one for this gig. Fortunate as that was the one I had planned to take.

Jazzy,
It's interesting to hear your comment about your girlfriend.

When I was gigging a lot more i would ask my girlfriend (now wife) the same thing, or even how she thought my tone sounded on a particular song / night.

She was always brutally honest . . . I think that's why I married her.

Your picture makes it look like it was an enjoyable intimate, albeit cancelled gig. :-D

Yeah we had a good couple of hours playing music together. We are not very tight as we should be at the moment so it's shown us where we need to do more work.

Sometimes those gigs can be great. Some of the best shows I've played have been to less than 10 people (it's especially weird if you've just come from a festival playing for 10,000!). OTOH, sometimes they are just barely paid rehearsals.

In any case, I wish I could have been there.

Looking forward to another festival gig this weekend with Musical Youth. It's called Camp Bestival taking place at Lulworth Castle in Dorset, England.

I've been told we are on-stage at 01:00 Monday morning so not sure if that means we are closing the festival as the headline band or there is stuff going on afterwards.

Anyway here is a link to it. If you are heading out there give me a shout via email and we may be able to hook up.

Ahaa the on-stage time has now been properly confirmed we are on at 00:15 till 01:00 on Sunday morning. So we are the last band on-stage from the Saturday night sessions then there is a silent disco.
If we do well at these next three festivals it could put us in good stead for some bigger festivals next year. Hopefully some international festivals and touring.

Last night I put some new strings on the black Europa/Elan 5 and it sounds great. I've kept the old strings on for ages since I'd been checking out the idea that older strings should give me a more mellow tone for reggae but I actually prefer the tone that I get from having new strings then filtering out the top end rather than having dull strings and trying to get a decent sound. Well that works at home so the gig will tell me what works best on-stage.

I've tried some D'darrio EXL170-5 Nickel wound 45 - 130 strings this time instead of RCocco which I've used for a while now. First thoughts are they feel less abrasive to the touch and hence less finger noise.

Silent disco? Like... everybody wearing earphones?

Would be interesting to suggest to some neighbors of mine...

Yeah everyone wearing headphones with a choice of music genres so people are dancing to different music at the same time. Really funny if you take off your headphones and just watch people. They kind of look crazy.
