Fresh off the back of last week's outdoor charity gig, we're playing The Bakers Vaults in Stockport town centre tonight. 9:30pm first set, finishing up around midnight.
A Martamp, Riff Raffs, Celestions and a whole lot of 'DC will be present :)
Maybe see a local face or two?

No probs - will do!

Seeing this thread reminded me of something I was thinking about the other day - maybe there should be some kind of Sticky thread for people to say when they have gigs coming up?
A lot of you guys are in bands, but whenever anyone mentions a gig it's usually too short notice.

Good point Philly - I'd been meaning to post about the gig for ages but kept forgetting :oops:
I really, really wished I'd taken my Zoom recorder along last night. The pub was packed, and not with friends of the band either. We'd manged to pull a crowd based on reputation alone :o
I had THE best tone I'd ever had last night too - incredibly good! :D I've just fitted two new Celestion Gold speakers to my 4x12 so the rig was:
* Epiphone SG with Riff Raffs
* Sennheiser Freeport wirelesss system
* Korg DT-10 Tuner
* Martamp M45/100 head
* Martamp 4x12 cab with Celestion Golds and Heritage G12Hs in an X-pattern
Dead simple, absolutely MASSIVE 3D tone and no earsplitting treble or dullness. I didn't use earlplugs, played pretty loud (master volume on about 2/3rds) but no ill effects whatsover. Just amazing.
It was a really warm night too, so in our extended set-ender "High Voltage" I went for a walk around the smokers outside and then round the back of the pub during my solo spot. I finished up back with the band, via Mrs Twinfan's knee ;)
Yes, yes, I'm a big show off :D :lol:

GREAT idea
