RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted June 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2018 This year, i have seen Joe Bonomassa, Jasper Carrot with some Birmingham musicians including Bev Bevan, Foreigner, 9 Below Zero and to come ELO and Rick Wakeman in October, Aussie Floyd in November and as above War of the Worlds in December. Proper ELO...lucky you. Strangely I never really listened to much stuff in the 70s but love lots of it now. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the extreme left you can just see the top of the platform ramp which is visible right of centre in the earlier picture.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2018 Take That, Gyllyngvase beach, Falmouth, Radio 1 Roadshow Transvision Vamp & The Proclaimers - Carlyon Bay Pathetic, really. Well, that's a whole lot more than we ever do, that kind of thing just isn't on our agenda, really. I suppose you don't miss what you don't know about, but I'm not really sure that such large, live events really appeals. We even prefer to wait for films to come out on DVD these days, rather than see them in the cinema, that way there's no annoying kids talking, selfish gits using their mobile phones or the need to miss a bit of the film for a pee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like me CK. However there are some things local to 36E that are quite good. See if there is something called Village Ventures around your way. Usually it is small events in Village Halls. I've seen some really good stuff and as it only local and maybe lasts a couple of hours they don't seem such a faff. talking of the seaside, I'm off out into the back garden and pretend I'm here...

I am not talking to Chris Spams, didn't know he was going to be at DEMU Showcase, and it the same sauna room. Did he come over and say "Hi Pillock Face, I am Chris Spams" no ignored me. I don't know what he looks like out of his can.

I have all the Move LPs, a couple Wizard's and the only kept the first ELO album but not Boulder's which from memory was Roy Wood's solo project. See there was life before I became a punk.

RMweb Premium DIW Posted June 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2018 I agree - what sort of livery is it wearing? Certainly not one in keeping with the location. It could be worse, and often has been. Pannier Tank in LT livery in deepest Devon, anyone? When the SDR put the LT Pannier on the annual membership card, that was when I stopped being a member. I worked on LUL at the time; the last thing I needed in Devon was a reminder of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonseasider Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 As far as I'm concerned, the only Mr Mellotron was John Paul Jones. Nah, that can't be right. Just think about it - as well as merely playing the mellotron, Mike Pinder worked for the firm wot was building them so he had a real insight into what they could do and how to make them do it. You could say that he was instrumental in the development of electronic keyboards. See what I did there? Play on words entirely intended! John Paul Jones, on the other hand, was really little more than an up-market pirate, switching allegiance at will & as it suited him. He may have commanded lots of ships but I don't think that any of them would have been equipped with a mellotron that he could play in his spare time.

Don't be upset Clive, Spams was totally engrossed in working out how his new phone worked, not realising it was actually a DCC Controller (it only had one wire attached to it).

vaughan45 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just to add to the argument abot size vs distance, we have below a photo of two LNER van chassis, the near one is 4mm very close and the rear one is 7mm very far away. This of course is complete nonsense, the near one is 7mm awaiting its new owner, the rear one is a Bachmann one to which a number of brass etchings have been attached in an attempt to see if I can still 'do' 4mm scale. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
