| Eyo, I'm coming to London/UK December 7-22 for for shits and giggles, would love to hear some of you guys/gals rigs while i'm out and about, or maaybe even play on one if you'd be so kind. This forum got me into sound and engineering many many moons ago and it'd be fantastic to enjoy some of the magic that's been made here over the years in person vs drooling over it online. Loose area plans are London-ish the 7th-12, Cardiff the 12th-16th, France??? the 16th-21st Cheers! |

Some friends have just sent me photos from the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Looks like a blast, especially if you have kids as well.  ------------- Earplugs Are For Wimps! |

Don't worry, Woody is our resident contrarian. It's no worse than any other major city.

| The only gang you see openly wearing stab vests are the police |

| It's been fun! A bit more american music in london than I cared for but had a blast and made some friends. Cardiff has been great, got to play a 30 minute open decks set at the hostel im staying at. Jamiroquai was fantastic at O2 arena, the mix and system deployment was mint. Took quite a bit if photos. Ill post some after dinner or you can take a gander at my Instagram @jay_dallas_bass. Definitely coming back for Notting Hill. |

Yes. You've got kids of 8, 9 or 10 carrying knives out of fear because everyone else around them are carrying as well. It is a plague. They'll soon be driving SUV's into crowds around their schools!!  A couple of years ago, on a visit to London, I walked a (female) friend around the corner to a shop to buy as few things. We passed a small group of kids on the way, maybe 10 or 11 year olds. I didn't really pay any attention to them. My friend did - & had a bit of a laugh as she heard them say something about "having a go" at us! She laughed because she knows what I'm capable of doing if provoked - or "attacked".  ------------- Earplugs Are For Wimps! |
