So why do people seem to think that 3 hours of live music is not worth the price of a pint?

Kirsty Pollock posted a discussionHow much....
We put a bit of effort into our videos of The Greedies live performances (thanks to having a pro photographer 'on tap'), and have got the last batch pretty good I think.The intention is, of course, to use them to promote the band and to get more gigs :-).I've thought about doing it as a part-time small business, for bands roughly on our level, who want something better than "my mate with his iPhone/handycam" but can't (yet) afford a proper video production house job. We do a decent job, I…See More

The singing is going very well, and The Greedies are adding new numbers at a rapid pace - always good to have a choice! I'm doing some more high stuff too - so bring yer earplugs to the next gig >:-)
I am also working into doing some Rhythm Guitar duties - debuted on "Substitute" at the last gig, now working on "Addicted To Love" - which is killing my arm and hand right now with the sliding power chords but no doubt I will adapt. I still think I have to exert far too much pressure…

The full chain for my vocal kit is: Shure SM58 - > Focusrite ISA One preamp - > [FMR Really Nice Compressor - > Electroharmonix Voice Box (only used for the reverb)] - > return to preamp - > Alesis Multimix 8 mixer - >…

Great to talk to all you guys last night - we must do it again sometime! Met a few people I'd somehow not run into before and found that *everybody* but *everybody* has been through the Weekend Warriors / Get Rocking scheme. It seems it's a big part of local folks getting (back) into live music performing.
So when are we having the next one? When we do, we should advertise it (with perhaps a little more blurb on what it's about) at all the local studios and in good old Anderton's… Continue
