Oh, sad to have missed that - and, of course it's fallen off the end of the "Listen Again" feature now. Shame but good to see Gordon being chatted to on national radio. Gordon, for those of us who missed it would be fascinating if you could remember which tracks you chose and list them her...

Blimey! That's a tricky one. How on earth do you single just one out? Gulp. If I had to "plump" I think it would be "Fast Approaching" from my fave GG album, "Fear of the Dark" although "Visitation" and "FotD" itself would be close runners too. Hey, ...

I guess that my best buy was rather enforced rather than by choice. In late August my beloved Trace Elliott bass combo went to that big guitar shop in the sky :( (been together 20 years, man and boy, that amp and me). That meant a bit of frantic amp shoppping and I ended up with a rather nice 300W A...

Good lord, what a loss to British music. And so sad that it has come so soon after he stared to become more widely known and acknowledged again and to be more active with his music.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Here's a little note from JG... "Some time soon there will be a 7 track rock and roll album released by "Rowdy" entitled "Rockall", with Billy Bremner, Ray Fenwick and Jackie McAuley - Guitars, Les Binks - Drums, and me - Bass, Vocals, probably iTunes or similar.!" Soun...

PS Trevor - as you are in contact with Johnny Gustafson can you find out what he's up to these days please? That was, naturally, one of the questions in the e-mail I sent!!!!! :D And of course, I 100% agree with your sentiments about 21st Century Giltrap too - still, it was a tempting thought!

Gordon, You know that would be my absolute dream tour too!! Don't worry, when I win the lottery I'll see you right for the tour. Of course, that masterplan is slightly complicated by the fact that I don't actually DO the lottery!! :lol: Funny that the topic should come up right now. Just this last w...

Somewhere in a gig bag long long ago and far far away...

...I've got a blue see-through GG signature pick that was given away on the front cover of Guitarist magazine. Just how sad is that? But if you want REALLY sad check this book out... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Picks-Colorful-Vintage-Celluloid-Plectrums/dp/0879303778/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&q...

Life is full of compromises...

Just thinking about Mike's blend comment. It could be also worth living with the compromise of using less mic blend. Realistically you're playing in non-ideal listening conditions (same as the function band which I play in so I know the type of set-up) and the level of differentiation in sound that ...

Hi Mike, The Ovation has a feedback reducing soundhole baffle but not the Fyldes as the Rare Earth Blend is soundhole mounted. It might still be worth getting hold of one of the rubber "Feedback-buster" soundhole plugs and experimenting with it and a stanley knife. Certainly with the Rare...

The picnic on the green was, indeed, a really nice afternoon and a good cause to boot. Seeing the post about The Passion prompted me to load it onto the iPod and have a listen on the way in to work - still sounds good. I hadn't listened to it in (literally) years! I played bass for a production of i...
