I found this site today so thought I would have a look.Good site,so here I am.
I have been playing more or less non stop since the late 50's,professionally for many years.I am still playing with a local rock n roll band,mainly early r'n'roll plus we usually manage
to fit in a 30 min Shads spot and why not.We are fortunate to have as our bass player the one and only Alan Jones of Shadows fame.He lives near me on the outskirts of Rotherham
and he is playing as well as ever.I know Dave Robbo knows Alan as he was playing with Daves band "Past Masters"earlier this year.
Gear wise I use a Peavey Rockingham semi aka Gretch 6120 but in my opinion a better instrument.This I use for the really early stuff( Scotty Moore,Carl Perkins,Eddie Cochran et al
Fender Am standard strat and my personal favourite Fender Mexican 50's Fiesta red strat.This is a wonderful guitar.
Amplifiers 2x Laney VC 30's.Again excellent valve amplifiers which personally I prefer to my old AC30.
For echo I use the Zoom G2.1u with Charlie Halls EFTP and for the money I dont think this can be beaten.I may try and find a Magic Stomp or push the boat out for a Q20
Anyway thats all from me for now,I look forward to hearing your comments on the different forums on this site.You never stop learning.
All the best Mick.
