Back after a brief interlude.  
We're playing at Scruffy Murphy's in Edinburgh this friday then Saturday 19th July we will be entertaining a bunch of balding middle aged stockbrokers at the Stirlingshire Bikers rally.
We'll be taking another break through August, reconvening on the 27th for our Drummer's pre-nuptual bash at Whistlebinkies in edinburgh. I've been told we're also playing a short set at his wedding on the 29th.
Hopefully we'll get Photos and recordings at some of these. For further details and more gigs, visit our website.

That's the back of my head causing the glare in this photo.

You were brave going down there Sam. At least it was daytime;-) At night it's a very different proposition.
 
Graeme

I'll try to be there Gareame, but all your dates sem to clash with mine

george. If you have a mate with a motorbike, why not try to get to the bikers rally. It's being held at the Carron bridge hotel, not far outside Denny.
 
Graeme

Know it very well!!!!
What time will you be there??
I'm meant to be playing a free gig for the singer's brother, but it's only meant to last an hour or so
Keep me posted

Interesting and fun gig. The bikers weren't as aggressive as we were expecting. However, out of the 150 or so attending only around 60 came into the marquee to watch and dance. The rest stayed in the hotel lounge to keep warm (and get drunk).  
Quite a scary set up. they were running everything from a single extension from a generator which was fine until the start of the 3rd set when we blew the fuses - coincidentally right at the end of sweet child of mine when I stomp the turbo button on the eden - adds 10 Db!. luckily it only took 5 minutes to get up and running again but they insisted we play several encores and made Bill play a drum solo. Meant that I didn't leave Carronbridge until 2 so I broke every speedlimit between there and Edinburgh to get to work on time.
 
Graeme.
 
p.s. let me know when you're getting together with John (white cloud) and I'll try to get across. Also, are you interested in coming down to Manchester on the 9th November for Bass Day?

Following a very successful 21st Birthday party in Pitlochry last Friday, we're back to playing for the Public tomorrow night - wednesday 27th. 9.30pm at Whistlebinkies.(see sams july 7th posting above...)

Only one picture from last wednesday with me in it ;-(

 
It was a superb night - fantastic sound both on and off stage for a change and the crowd were very enthusiastic - halped by having alot of fans from Canada who were over for Bill's( the drummer) wedding the following Friday. We played a very short set at the wedding so I'll post a pic or 2 from then once i get them.
 
Next Gig is at Scruffy Murphy's in edinburgh next friday 12th Sept from around 9.30pm.

Friday coming We'll be at The Corner Music Bar in Dunfermline (home of the awesome Nazareth). It's a new venue for us so the gig should be interesting.
Incidentally the tenant above Scruffy Murphy's threatened to phone the police last friday when we were 3 songs from the end. What a way to put a downer on the night and what kind of idiot lives above a city centre pub expecting peace and quiet?

Hi graeme
last night, I played in Kilsyth at a new venue called the Broch. It's a pub that has a big play area--bigger than BTW.  
As it was new to me, I didn't want to take the Series, or the P bass for that matter, just in case.
I took my beloved Curbow .Sound was good, until I noticed that for some reason, the crossover frequencies were all wrong.
Changed them, and the sound was stunning!
Huge bottom, and an Alembic like top end. It sounded just like Whit Cloud's bass in the Youtube snippet (His new Prometeus).
I think the Alembic wouls have been awesome with this new setting so, maybe next time, as it's not a rough neck dive.

This friday we're back at Scruffy Murphy's i Edinburgh. The last gig at the corner music bar was a bit of a downer - no more than 10 people in a bar supposedly promoting live music. Our drummer has made pretty sure we'll not be playing there again in his rant on our front page.
