I think it the reverb in the room and the reflected sound and the 'beam' from you amps speakers that is behind most of the reasoning. I also get more bass notes at the club that at home becasue you have turned the amp up higher than at home... working on it all the time but never really been a pro player so not had the experience that some have had in playing live..


If we take a mike to the Hankies Rog perhaps we can mike you up.
You can then play at the volume you play at home.
Anything to stop that mardy face when you're not happy with the sound.

For the benefit of those whose first language isn't English, ( 75% of the West Midlands for example ), here's a definition of "Mardy".


Regional slang assumed to be derived from 'Moody' originating from Derby, and over recent years having gradually become more commonly used as far south as Northamptonshire and as far north as Manchester (in many episodes of Coronation Street for example).

It is used most widely to describe children when they are having a tantrum or an adult who is sulking when not getting their own way. It describes a person who is feeling sorry for themselves or is crying shallow, crocodile tears.

This fantastic adjective has risen to more widespread fame in recent times thanks to those lovely lads from Sheffield, the Arctic Monkeys who wrote a song called Mardy Bum about a girl who was really mardy. Now all those southern softies have latched onto this fantastic word, it won't be long before we are hearing Peggy Mitchell behind the bar of the Queen Vic calling Billy a 'Mard Arse'.
In Derby, where the word originates from, it is very common to hear people calling others 'Mard Arse'. 'Stop bein such a mard arse!' meaning 'Stop being so moody, childish, grumpy, etc'.

The word is also used commonly in playground banter. Rhymes such as 'Mardy Mardy Mustard, You Can't Eat Your Custard, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah!' were commonplace in Derby schools during the 1980s. [/b]What is so wonderful about this word is that it has a whole meaning of its own and even though assumed to be derived from 'moody' it is not quite the same.

It is therefore of interest to know that the Chinese have a word that has exactly the same meaning as 'Mardy', therefore, it should be accepted into the Oxford English dictionary as a recognised word.[/b][/b]

Who wrote that rubbish above Bakey? We were using the word "Mardy" in Manchester when I was a kid way back in the 1950s. I can still remember once hitting my best mate in the face with a snowball, making him cry. My sympathetic response was "Shut it, yer big mardy kid".

Do I detect a couple of posts from the esteemed Mr Bakewell?
Or as he is sometimes known in Hankies circles "Big Al the enforcer".

If your ears were burning a fornight ago about 8pm it was Daniel and myself
discussing you!

Nice to see a post from you Alan!!
