This one is a cover of a Greek song I did with The Cretan band Everdie it's called asimina sfika which means silver wasp .I hope this counts as an animal I'm on guitar ,the vids a bit dark but it was filmed in the rehearsal room and we'd had a few drinks  at this point. Enjoy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XpP_DGa3oLY

Better than I expected Phill I'd resigned my self to just playing guitar for Ronnie and the Rockits but I got invited to a small venue the previous week where I did a short  set which went really well so I thought I'd see if I could manage a propper set .Maybe still a bit too soon but getting there.     

Rocking  at   Skipton Sound Bar  last  night .

Aardvark     

we mic  everything  up and  feed  it  back  into  the  PA which has  2k output .I  generaly  set  up  2  floor  monitors   driven by  a  separate   2x 400watt  amp  which  gives  us    plenty  of  volume    to  hear  each  other.
  We all  run our  amps  at     a  level  where  we  can hear  our  selfs  in our   respective   bits  of  the  stage   . We  are  using  an electronic  drum kit    so  that    is  also  fed  into  the  pa  and   we  can  have  it  at  a  sensible  level   on stage . The monitors  have just  enough  of  every  one  in so  we  dont blast  each  other  out .  As  for  our  vocalist  he  has  a  separate  monitor   which  gives  him the  full  front  of  house  mix  . The  main speakers   are   positioned  as  far  forward  as  possible     so  we  dont  really  hear  them  but  every  one   else  can be  deafened  if  needed .
I  find   the  on  stage  levels  need to   be  low  enough    for  comfortable  listening . It  pays  to  have  a  good  engineer   ours  also  helps  out  on extra  guitar  when needed .
Hope this  helps

It was a very good night Jim and quite packed for the most of it .We only got bits of video  and these two were towards the end of the night.Had the girl taking the vid got all of the Proclaimers song you'd have heard the Ozzy Osbourne intro we did with it ,as I played the start of Crazy train to fool every one which went down very well .The two songs mash up well together.     I'll check out the Brad Paisley song you mention ,I like Brad he's a great player

I like to hear different interpretations  of my songs. I'll look forward to Richards version .Kev Jones has covered it over here and done a great job but hasn't uploaded it yet I need to give him a nudge
