****ing hell. Who outside the States has ever heard of the Zac Brown band? (Apart from us). And in the States they're just a C&W band, there's nothing mainstream going on there, is there?Quote:

Cool.I try to supply these wee snippets of information when I'm DJ'ing but it's obviously more suited to a radio show than a pub enviroment.Niche in the radio market for a show doing a 'story of the song' type show imhoQuote:

That's more than Adele.
Country folks must be still buying CDs

To cut a very long story short I explained to the boys about his age,they said **** that come in with us.Spent an hour in their green room with them,had a place at the side of the stage reserved for us and they arranged a runner to go to the bar for us.Fúcking TOP night.
On the way home yer man says to me "Daddy are all gigs like that?" :hehe:
Please do tell.....Quote:

Then he was like ok SOLO!. I can't solo I am playing on a crappy amp with just a clean travel with pedals what do you want from me! Plus I am shy and it was all unexpected!
but i liked it.
I get the attraction to the show. It's high energy and great light show. But they don't need to be all facing him like some sort of Fuhrer. just dance about how you want.Quote:
