We will be playing for approx 3 hours and play well known rock and rock n roll songs .
It will be a great evening and it would be good to see you all .:D

I hate to sound like a unsophisticated caveman but..... IS THERE ANY BEER !!!!!!!!! :eek: Cant imagine going to a concert without any. Maybe need to fill up the boot of the car.

[RED PRED]

of course there is a bar you primitive homo sapien

[RED PRED]

An excellent night had by all, top band, who were they :D
Hope I did not cause anyone hearing damage at the end when we outdid `spinal tap` and went to 12 on the volume knobs .

[RED PRED]

My bands next gig is this saturday at The Barley Mow in Alton, start 8.30pm .
Be good to see some of you, look for the nutter who plays lead guitar and sings if you dont know me .

Sat 1st December - Station Hotel, Andover

[RED PRED]

Another gig date for my band

26th January 2008 -- Raliway Tavern, Andover

[RED PRED]

Just a reminder, my bands gig this saturday at The Queen Charlotte in Andover is still on, we played saturday and despite my equipment deciding to pack up 20 minutes before the start we played a blinder .
I have had to spend some money on new gear this week, its as dear as quadding the music business :band1:

ALL WELCOME

[RED PRED]

For those who may have been thinking about coming to our gig on 7th December at the Rack and Manger near Winchester, dont as its been cancelled due to no fault of ours .
We have just played the last three weeks around Andover and have had loads of fun and entertained many people .

[NJK]

How did the Station gig go RP?

[RED PRED]

We really enjoyed it, we had a great sound in there, I did not wear a santa suit because I never had time to get one on saturday which was a shame .
Our gig this friday at The Rack and Manger has been cancelled due to no fault of ours which is another shame as it would have been the last one before xmas .
We will now only rehe a r s e until Jan 26th and put another 10 songs in the set, any ideas what songs ?

[NJK]

How about "Born to be wild" In fact we could use it as the site theme tune

[RED PRED]

Cool, I love playing that song, could do `stuck in a rut` by the darkness

[RED PRED]

For those who would like to know, my bands next gig is at The Railway Tavern in Andover on saturday 26th January, it would be good to see a few faces if only to heckle me, before I blast you away LOL .
:band1::band1::welcomeani::hug:

[upperdeane]

RP I would love to come to one of your gigs, but I go on holiday on the 25th Jan so cant make this one. Keep posting of your gig dates in 2008 though.

[RED PRED]

This is the kind of guitar playing that inspires me every time I plug in my Fender Stratocaster, the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan, absolutely awesome musician .

[RED PRED]

Another late, great guitarist, definitely one of the greatest ever slide guitar players and also one of the hardest drinking touring musicians, the band aint bad either, Rory Gallacher .
Anyone who has seen my band will recognise certain sounds/styles in this clip .
Shall I put a Hendrix clip on here, no need as everybody knows of him .

[RED PRED]

Oh go on then, sometimes i watch this and think yeah ok its only feedback being used to effect, but then think about how primitive and unreliable the amps and equipment was and the fact that no-one had really done this before and people like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck etc were in awe of this guy, then you can see what a class act he was .

[warriorrider]

Have you changed your mind about giving up? It would be a shame if you did you old *******. lol
Pick my quad up tomorrow costing me £275.94p ouch.

[RED PRED]

I was thinking about giving up when I get the new motor as I wont get all the gear in it, but gigs are coming in and I cant let the others down, we cant let all that talent go to waste now can we LOL :drum::drum:;)the other band smilie has gone ? we cant deprive the punters of a bit of real live and loud rock music, they would have to put up with discos and karaoke-aaaaaghh .

£275, jesus, what did you have done mate ?, I bet it will fly now .

[RED PRED]

A reminder, our gig this coming saturday is at the Fieldgate Centre in Kingsclere, start at 7 and ends when it ends, all welcome, there is a bar Danny .

[RED PRED]

Thanks to those who came to the gig last night, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, I was knackered this morning, please dont sue me for damaging your hearing lol, it was a superb sound in that hall last night and the sound on stage was incredible, thats the advantage of playing bigger venues, you can really crank up the volume without fear of the sound bouncing off nearby walls and causing feedback problems, it is a problem in smaller venues and really limits the volume you can play at, at some small venues my amp is only between volume settings 1 and 2 so not really achieving vacuum tube saturation (maximum gain before distortion ruins the sound, the amps sweet spot) .
Cheers for coming

[upperdeane]

Well played Graham. I'll be along to one of your pub gigs in the future.

[RED PRED]

Thanks Gary, glad you liked it, the next gig is on 19th April at the Railway Tavern in Andover, we played a blinder there a short while ago .

[warriorrider]

Great gig last night we all enjoyed it especially mum in law as shes been feeling a bit down i didnt ride out this morning had a bit of a hangover lol

[RED PRED]

That will teach you to drink in moderation then, you alcoholic bum lol

[butch2485]

great gig last night:band1:, sorry didn`t stay long as needed sleep:faint:. will come to next one but make sure you don`t bring that other band

[RED PRED]

we did not take the other band, they were the winners in a local battle of the bands competition held there earlier in the day, we agreed (foolishly) to let them do a few songs during our break, i think its fair to say we absolutely blew them away :band1::D

[RED PRED]

Here is the date for our next gig, Saturday 19th April at the Railway Tavern in Andover, we stormed the place last time so i cant wait to unleash my guitar there again .
Everyone welcome even Wellzy although it is a bit far to travel for him :welcomeani::welcomeani:
