Holds maybe 150 (but that's pretty tight), doesn't have a PA, is a cool place

Any snaps online?
Is there a booking lad to email?

We booked a gig in the Workman's Cellar for July, worth trying there maybe? Haven't actually visited the place mind you, just hoping it's decent. Capacity 150-ish, costs around €250 for the night (which includes, amazingly, someone on the door)

Very poor showing on the various Heardles this morning.

Not good enough.

#1: Day off. After three days of draaaaggging myself out of bed and scraping into work just on time sans breakfast, I wake up at 05:25 today, fresh as a daisy.

#2: It's now 08:39 and this jubilee coverage is grating me. I guess the Red Arrows will be cool, if I catch a glimpse of them.

starting a heardle with vinyl noise was shoddy.

I never would had gotten it anyway but I suppose it’s part of the song… kind of?

 

[nuke terrorist]

a few of the metal Heardles were silent for the first second or two e.g. Turbo Lover so I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer.
I only got today's one on the last clue.
Mandatory Suicide is the only one of the 15 metal ones I heard that I got immediately.

I didn't know the 80's pop one today but it was a solo track by the singer of the band I narrowed it down to.

I got a new soldering iron/station in lidl, finally retiring the one I've been using for 15 years as it doesn't heat up fully anymore.

After 30 mins usage the tip is fucked, can't tin it, and its started to pit. bizarre carry on.

 

[magicbastarder]

i bought a pyrography kit from lidl or aldi, and the metal in the tip is so shit it bends as soon as it heats up.

I've been told that my Lidl soldering iron is shit, and that's why my soldering is shit.

But then again the guy who said that was sparing my feelings. I'm just really crap at soldering.

But should I bother investing in a good soldering iron if it only makes me less crap? Good soldering is still a mystery to me, even though I did it for my Junior Cert., and have had to do it for guitars and work and other things since.

They sell the worst irons known to man. I can give ya a handheld one if ya like. Have a box of them somewhere.

Good iron makes a huge difference but so does an iron that just works the way it should. Lidl is not the answer either way.

Soldering isn't a dark art. Heat both things for a few seconds, bring solder in, wait a couple seconds, being solder away ,bring iron away. Remember iron is first and last.

Could you recommend a decent inexpensive one Moose?

it actually comes up to temp really quickly etc., its just the tip itself is god awful. I have some spare tips I bought from maplins (RIP) many many moons ago which are really decent. Will try a swap.

most of the wiring I do these days is pretty basic guitar wiring - havent touched PCB/breadboard or ventured inside an amp in the best part of 8-9 years.

If the tips are shite I wouldn't have much hope for the rest of it lasting. Think I got a week out of one before
