(My email says I've sent this already, but it doesn't seem to have got through so here it is again) I'd been wondering about band lighting for a while. Decades...
We've carried our own stage lighting (8X3000w PAR cans with a MIDI controller) for about 15-20 years now, and I can't imagine being without it. There are some...
Hi Everyone Just a note to let you know that, on Saturday April 19th at Cecil Sharp House, Stick Shift with Mike Courthold calling, are hosting "The Night of...

... Oh good, it's not just me then! I usually sit when I'm playing, but I can stand with right foot on a chair so I can rest the instrument against my leg and...
