It would be interesting hearing a heavily distortion laden guitar & fiddle version of Drunken Sailor, in Drop D of course, as all the song is is:
Dm ///// C///// Dm///// F/ C/ Dm/, have tried that one myself with the Tele through the Marshall, on mildly overdiven crunch settings & it can really Rock, as you can then explore the fretbord a little further as the tune developes.

Thanks mate, I've got that running through my head now...
4 bars madly widdly lead intro
V1 - doubled heavily distorted chords on each choird change, old chord on beat 4 of previous bar, new chprd on beat one of its bar
V2 - staccato chord on beat one of each bar
'nother madly widdly solo for two verses
V3 all instruments flat out
Coda with widdly guitar until utterly bored...

I second that, Mr O'Diamonds!  Grin

Bit off topic, but...

I'm sure there was a rumour in the late 80s/early 90s that Julianne was going to record with the band (in addition to the Cropredy apperances) but it never happened. Anyone know any more?

Great choices for the full band but not sure about the acoustic set up. And, if BBOR is included thats most of the first half taken up.

Carlisle or Newcastle would do.

They did Berwick last February - that would do again.

Can I have an interpreter, please.  Does anyone speak Lancashire/ mancunian around here?



Even a b***dy southerner knows Cumberland isn't in Lancashire!! It's where the sausages come from. Wink You now, the ones that are nearly as good as Braughings from near where I live> Grin
