It's been a month since I've even seen the rest of the band due to holidays so I'm looking forward to this weekend. graeme jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 783 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 12:46 am:    A superb day on Sunday. Bright blue skies without a breath of wind. The stage area makes us look like we're playing in prison;-) We've since been asked to play at a bikers party!

I'm amazed that you were able to play through the pain. =) Toby jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 784 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 12:55 am:    You can tell by the look on my face ;-) Graeme 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 279 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 10:15 am:    Graeme, your guitar players like the Marshals, I see. Looks like a blast. Big Crowd? 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 280 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 10:16 am:    Oh yeah, where is your mic and mic stand? (lol) jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 787 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - 12:56 am:    David, the crowd was excellent. Lots of eye candy in their best summer clothes ;-) The best bit about playing outside was that all the passing traffic - on foot and motorised, stopped to listen. Apparently we could be heard halfway up the Esplanade 1/4 of a mile away too! I don't need a mike - our drummer does enough singing and talking for the both of us.

It's evolving though. I've now bought an F1X so the Eden may end up on ebay soon.

Saturday we'll be in Auchtermuchty, home of Jimmy Shand and the Proclaimers. (I would walk 500 miles to get away from the place to be honest) Sunday we're playing a new(to us) venue - Bar None in Kirkcaldy. For our US chums, these place names are impossible for non-Scots to pronounce correctly so i'll be keeping my mouth shut ;-) Graeme adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1104 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 27, 2006 - 7:11 am:    Graeme, I'd have to walk 500 more, I guess. The song also mentions 5,000 miles, so I'm not absolutely sure which way to go now. As a Dutchman, at least I can reproduce a couple of the throat sounds pretty accurately. robbiebassepic Junior Username: robbiebassepic Post Number: 27 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - 5:26 pm:    Would've liked to see Kirkcaldy being brought to a halt by the rumble of that stack Jacko, - some family of mine live there, so I know it well, Bar None is usually quite chilled - rip it up!
