Didn't have many bands playing in Leeds where I grew up, shitest place in the country for live music (no venues). Did manage to see Saxon, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Motorhead & UFO though. Also saw Hawkwind several times around the country. And Roy Harper
Didn't get to the range at the weekend, again

Oh yes, indeed.......I well remember recording various tunes on my ITT "Studio Recorder" which had been a gift from mum and dad for passing my 'O' levels......I could plug it in to their Grundig stereo system to record stuff so that you didn't get any background noise etc.
Yep. Remember. Saw Whitesnake and UFO too. Even Robert Plant when he went solo, but hadn't seen Zep.....We were actually so lucky back then that the owner of our one and only and very small little nightclub in this one-horse town had the vision to get so many excellent rock bands playing there. And we had "The Bailey Brothers" doing the rock DJ duties before, between and after the live acts. They were legends themselves, from the Sheffield area. I think the nightclub also had a few punk and new wave bands on, too, but they weren't for me.
Sorry to hear you failed to get to the range at the weekend, Paul. Always nice to get some things checked / dialled in prior to a Bash. No pre-Bash plinkies for me too, I'm afraid. At the eye clinic today and you-know-where tomorrow and then no more days off until Saturday Bash Day, but we should be okay. I think. It would have been nice to have tweaked the zero on the red dot on the 2240 mini-carbine, but it may have to do. We'll see if any plinky time can be shoehorned in.....
