It's that groove/locked in thing that him and Steve just seem to effortlessly tie in together - kick drum and bass = kinda "Vamping" I call it  - Fair do's to you guys - I've never found a  drummer who seemed to get  it Unhappy

You guys still around - come and see ya

Well Burke has also played a Kramer and he's got a MusicMan too. Anyway, old Precisions are far too expensive these days. I think Burke bought his new in 1968 if my memory serves me correct? feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, although he changed the neck at some point.  I had my Rickenbacker from playing in a Wishbone Ash tribute which folded, and i certainly wasn't going to sell it! although I do have an old Jazz bass too.
Yes we are still going (sort of), We have not booked any gigs for next year at the moment because of other band commitments.

Gig Update:
Bugger! This gig is now postponed due to the venue double-booking (even though I booked it months ago! and we sent the flyers out a couple of weeks ago). Ermm It may be re-scheduled for October but I won't hold my breath. Sorry for any inconvenience if anyone on Progarchives was thinking of attending. Unhappy
Tony.

I remember seeing Budgie when I was at school, playing a gig in a leisure centre in Merthyr Tydfil. Must have been very early 80s. I can remember one of the support bands was a weirdly named outfit known as Naked on Rollerskates!


Thank you. Smile  We actually played in North Wales in June it was a good gig, at Colwyn Bay FC. I beleive they want to re-book us there. Cool We have not had time to rehearse for the next gig and we've not palyed for a couple of weeks so it's "seat of pants stuff" i'm afraid!
