We had to cancel tonight’s practice beacuse the singer’s voice is knackered. He had an infection a couple of months ago and it got damaged and never properly recovered, so he’s having to take some time off now. Hopefully he’ll get better soon.

Tonight’s practice was cancelled due to the snow - looks like it’ll be another couple of weeks before we can practice again :-(

Unfortunately our drummer announced earlier this week that he was leaving us. This is a bit of a blow after months of practising, but we’re going to try to soldier on. We’ve got a couple of potential replacements lined up and we’ll be auditioning them next week. Hopefully one of them will work out and we can continue rocking.

The Digitech RP355 has to go back - one of the editing buttons doesn’t work :-(

This is now the forth guitar-related item I’ve had to return recently:

• The Marshall amp stopped working after two weeks.
• An amp cover I bought didn’t have all the handle-holes it should have had and had to go back.
• A 3/4 sized guitar we bought for our son had to go back when it stopped working 10 mins after we got it home.
• And now the Digitech hasn’t even lasted a day.

What’s going on? Can’t people just make stuff that works anymore? :-(

Tonight’s practice is cancelled again because of the snow. Only a week to go, we’ve still got a song to learn and the snow has defeated us again. Aaaargh!

My beloved new amp stopped working at last weekend’s practice - it just stopped making any sound. It’s going to be going back to the supplier soon, but there’s no way it’ll be replaced in time for the gig :-(

But, despite that the practice went very well - if my memory is correct, we got through all but one song and they all sounded great. Really looking forward to the gig now :-)

Had to cancel tonight’s practice because of the snow. The singer’s snowed in and the rest of us aren’t keen to risk it. Maybe next week :-)
