You should post a picture of it.

It's a linn sondek LP 12 with a valve amp and 5ft speakers that I made from scratch it can bring a wall down.

Get a job in demolition. You could save a fortune by not having to hire equipment.

Summer night suppin music!

Any Dire Straits fans? One of my favourites....

Another little beauty that deserves more recognition. They should re-release this song as a message to the Taliban and Boko Harum. It would probably hit No 1 even though the original message couldn't have been foreseen back then.

History Of Eagles Manc Arena 25.06.14.

Went to Eagles gig last night. Love um or hate um, got to say they are a class act. 2 3/4 hours of music is some going by wrinkly standards and they didn't disappoint.
Starting with an acoustic set various members of the band came on when introduced and the first ten songs were done chronologically.
Setlist here:-

What was a surprise was the appearance of Bernie Leadon, one of the four originals, and he took his place on guitar and banjo on the earlier stuff.
After a ten minute break they were back on stage and the tempo was upped, for me this is where Joe Walsh comes into his own. I was a big fan of his in my schooldays when he was in the James Gang, thanks Pete Townshend, and his rock stuff provides an edge to the technically perfect country rock songs that Eagles do.
All the hits were there but Joe's stuff was the highlight for me, Rocky Mountain Way being played to a backdrop of Superman flying between mountains and one hint of Joe going across screen in Superman costume!!
Hotel California was as usual played outstandingly. Quite how much life is left in this band is unknown, however they all look healthy and belie their years. If the Stones can do it into their seventies, why not them? I'm sure an almost full arena of followers would readily agree!?!

Cheers, SK.

Pissed off I missed it but I'd completely forgotten they were on.

This one's a favourite of mine:




If you've not already got Analog Man I can definitely recommend it.

Love The Eagles, saw them a bit ago at The Arena.

In the City is a great Joe song, he did Life's Been Good and a real oldie Funk 49 which was a James Gang song when I was at school, James Gang Rides Again.
Bread that videowas from this tour.
Next up is Bernard Shakey, who would have been very influential during Eagles early days, at Liverpool Arena. I'll report back when I've been.

Rod Stewart, Bloomfield Rd., Blackpool 20.06.14.

Took the gaffer to this one, I'd fell out with him when he left the Faces. Didn't expect too much to be honest but ended up enjoying it.
It was a greatest hits night and he certainly put some time in on stage,  two hours. A fine band backed him and as usual there was plenty eye candy in the horn section!!
Not too impressed with the venue, which was at capacity 25000. Best songs for me were Stay With Me and Maggie May.
The gaffer loved all his stuff!!

RIP Bobby Womack.

Anyone remember 'The Yardbirds?'

Yes, they were brilliant. Although For Your Love was a bit "pop" for them. Jeff Beck still a great guitar player.

Here's a wonderful scene from the film Blow Up:

Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were also in the band at one time or another.

Paloma Faith. I just think she has an awesome voice. She reminds me of Amy Winehouse.

Any The Script fans on Nuts?

Train... Soul Sister. George Formby on the banjo.
