Ramble away.

Where were you "on the road"?

Re: New members to the website - say hello here :-)

I was in a couple of bands for a while, gigging my way around the UK in a battered old van. Also been doing live sound engineering as well. Then spent last year training as a studio engineer! So I've kinda ruined all music for me for the rest of my life, lol. Now just trying to set myself up as an engineer for hire and attempting to build my own half-decent studio. Ah, the joys!

I doubt you'd have heard of them - there was Aristocrash, who were based in Manchester; and there was Respond, from Peterborough. Nearly went rather well till good old 'musical differences' (ie, people trying to shaft each other behind their backs) got in the way.
I miss gigging *sniff*

I've played in many bands too, I know what you mean.

So it's back to real life again is it?

Manchester & Peterborough are quite a way apart aren't they.

Aye, Manchester and Peterborough are a fair way apart - especially when you're living in one of them and rehearsing in the other!
I'd say I was back to normal life, but only in as far as I'm not out gigging every other night these days. The live work still keeps me pleasantly detached from reality, although one of our big shows has fallen through this year, which frankly sucks. Meh, show politics, gotta love 'em...
Are you not in a band any more then? I seem to recall you always were when I used to be a regular.
