Guitar is tune A A E A B E With the low A being an octave down ,10s gauge strings but I shal be changing the low A for something heavier as it flaps a bit
John prince on bass Mike davies on drums and me on guitar
The thing about band members is when you find your ideal you can just jump in and play like it was yesterday , Having just got back playing with John Prince who I last played with some years back its like picking up where we left off. Same applies to my Greek band pals we have a break for 6 or 8 months then just play like we've been rehearsing for weeks straight off. Magic.
A desperate situation ,I wrote a song last year on this subject when I was in Greece ,I feel for these people but I dont think the answer is migration ,certainly it causes bad feelings and resentment in the country they come to .I dont know the answer ,but songs like this serve to make the world stop and think .Well done beestie .
I sometimes write bits down as they come up or just record a riff or progression on my lap top then come back to it when the next bit pops into my head but mostly I do the whole thing straight off usualy at stupid o clock in the morning
Sorry to hear about your son my thoughts are with you all ,stay strong and take care.
No instrumentals for me Bill just long self indulgent solos ....lol
Petes brother just looks like Brian from my band
I know weve probably done this subject to death ove the past year but I really dont feel to bad about it today as I watch a vid of the who at glastonbury this year only roger daltry hasnt got either an i pad or a stand ,so in my mind now its ok to have the memory of a goldfish,like me.
Had the first session with my new trio yesterday and it went very well , we hired a room at Aquarius studios in Colne ,they were great and very helpful providing every thing we needed to just plug and play .We did a three hour session and tore though the set new songs old songs some of my original stuff and to be honest it was mostly good enough to have played to an audience, the guys who run the place commented that they couldn't believe we hadn't played together before ,I was quite over whelmed by the comments, but not as over whelmed as John the bass player when he remembered he'd not switched the recorder on ,so you'll have to take my word for now that it was good ,ah well next time ,must be an age thing !!!!!
I met Steve when he played with Kevin Ayres band Mike Oldfield was also part of this band back then just prior to him doing Tubular bells

I had the pleasure of a few beers with this artist in the early 70s at the ABC theatre in Preston nice guy fantastic artist enjoy ,Steve Hillage
good song tig catchy tune
I like this ,in my head I hear a live version with the band joining in about half way and a really strong solo then back to acoustic at the end
hope she is ok bill
Hope things soon get better ,stomach surgery is very uncomfortable ,it is two months now since mine and I still feel discomfort ,just take it easy and get well ,each day you will feel a litle beter.
I'll keep every one posted with dates as to when we will start doing these nights then.
Phill if you remember last year I mentioned the idea of a uk chordie fest , why not have a rethink about the idea then Bruce can get the opportunity to play in a band situation albeit for one day .I'm currently putting a UK band together and Im sure the guys would be happy to take part all though they are not chordie members .I'm hoping to be able to host a regular open mic session at the Victoria Hall at Settle with my lot as the "house band ".We had agreed on a monthly event on a friday or saturday before my illness . Having spoken to the manageress a couple of weeks ago it is still on the cards when I am deemed fit enough by the hospital .This would be an opportunity for people to play in a real theatre with a proper sound system.
Phill play open chords in a reggae rhythm fits great sounds excellent .
Beestie nice words .
cool song nice playing
Dino its just a cheap Chinese one I got off amazon 5 pounds sounds ok plugged in
The trio is awesome I showed it to my friend whos gonna be playing bass with me later this year when I'm a bit fitter and he said what do you need me for when you have that.
Its a great tool especialy for practice, nearly as good as the reall thing ?certainly more reliable than one of our bass players ,no names mentioned.
Thanks Phill your comments are always gratefully received and appreciated .
Thanks Phill, sadly my vote didn't make any difference ,but maybe if I keep singing and shout loud enough eventually changes will start to happen.
