@irredeemable – nice Blood Bowling (yes, that’s a word). Where did you get your transfers? I’ve a boxed set of Gouged Eye and Reikland Reavers but I can’t find any transfers for them (I thought they came in the box, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had any – though I may have just misplaced them!). Photos of how you get on with transfers would be really helpful!

I haven’t played for over a year now (I used to go to jam nights at local pubs and clubs) and really miss it – but the biggest part of going to such events was to see other people play live (if it was a busy night – and the players were good! – I’d happily sit out and let someone else play; just being among talented musicians is reward enough).

I never really “got” the whole online concert thing. But then the Wildhearts announced an online concert for this April and I bought tickets as soon as I could and now can’t wait to see them play. I prefer the intimate setting of local live music to big stadium concerts – whether local bands or established acts. So it’ll be cool just to see four guys making a noise together in little more than a rehearsal studio! Strangely, Worthing (more than Brighton) seems to be a hotbed of up-and-coming bands trying out their new material or starting a UK tour, ex-80s pop stars and local musicians all mixing together (a lot more relaxed and inclusive than Brighton, just a few miles up the road). I miss going to Worthing (for the music) more than I do Brighton these days.

Our local blues/rock jam night is aiming to start up again in July. Fingers crossed I’ve managed to get a jab before then…..

 

@thedace – that cloak looks lovely. Really nice work!

@crazyredcoat – one moment is the same as another – I can’t work out if this is the ultimate “living for the minute” statement, or just a little bit miserable. It’s nice to have moments to look back on fondly, it’s important to have things to look forward to – the idea of “one moment is the same as another” sounds like a joyless way to spend your days – unless, of course, you’re living “to the max” in a blur of frantic activity, unable to stop and take anything in or think about what’s gone or what’s coming up  (in which case, fantastically well done you!). As my little sister might say, “you ok, hun?”
