*blows dust off* lots more demos on the last.fm page, and we recently submitted the EP to recordunion, so hopefully at least that will be spotify/amazon-able soonish. also recording the album up in oxford, trying to sort out string arrangements that don't all sound like Drake's "Way to Blue&quo...

Volume less than 4 sounds like clean tonez heaven, bit of reverb, tremolo throws it into surf territory... Vol up past 4 sounds bit gritty, light bluesy... Up past 7 and you sound like ...

think holding out for a Princeton could be a very long wait, since they seem great. Shows how bad things are when you look at the new/used prices - 2x12 DeVille used is what £400 if you're lucky? New is £630 or thereabouts, Princeton RI new is £670, used is non-existent.

Argh.

Anything similar?

Recommend me an amp!!

Currently I have a 2x12 DeVille. It's huge, loud, sits on the clean channel 100% of the time, and completely not needed any more... I'm looking for something along the following lines: 1) < £500 new or used. 2) 1x10 or 1x12 at less than 30W 3) TUBE!! 4) Reverb 5) Clean, clean, clean - I'm hanging o...

there are a few digital distributors that can get you on Spofity, iTunes, 7digital, amazon, last.fm etc in one package, just depends how much you want to pay out initially or in the long-run. The two we've looked into are dittomusic and recordunion - ditto look as if they charge per release: so uplo...

thanks for watching!

we've got a set of ultra-bland cheese sandwich jazz (norah jones etc...) for weddings and stuff, but that's the only thing that's paid for now... will keep uploading as and when we can - lot of people seem to like it which is no bad thing :D

£1900 for my fylde acoustic. Saved hard for a long time, and has been worth every penny... won't be getting anything in that bracket again for a loooooooong time. rest have been odds and ends, £300 - £600 mark, only exception being a gibson les paul at the £1200 mark - which was a few years ago ...
