I wouldn't say major but we're playing out more nowadays. Our drummer used to do a lot of the logistics and organising and since we replaced him, that job of band leader/manager seems to have fallen on me.

Aside from getting some new music gear, bass guitars, amps and effects, I also took on the challenge of upping the sound and visual aspect of our show so have been getting to grips with band lighting and PA. We used to spend a fortune hiring gear in but decided to invest in some pro quality kit and run as much as possible in house so that's been keeping me busy. And depleted hifi/music spend as well.

Also I've partnered with a collective who put on psychedelic music shows and festivals around the North East so have involved in helping out promoting and staging of some of their gigs.

Things have also been fairly busy on the home front too. My wife's mother is deteriorating health wise and she's bearing the weight the additional care needed. I'm no good in that department but I can try and support Mrs B as best I can with all the stress which comes with it.

I'm currently wrestling with a few faults in home system so I'll be raising a couple of advice threads here. Managed to blow out the tweeters in my RS5 so that's a repair I need to get to.

Trust all is well with you?

I'm fine mate, been busy myself with various things, mainly in terms of kitchen redecorating!

Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I know exactly what you're going through, as Del and I went through it with her mum, who eventually died from brain cancer. All the best to your good lady and family in coping with things as best as possible.

However, I'm glad you've been enjoying yourself gigging and being more hands on with the sound and visuals. Hope you get your own system sorted out, and if you need any advice in that respect then we're all here to help!
