Dear all
Why is it that out of the three Mellotrons on stage at last night's Änglagård gig in Belgium, the only one that didn't play up during the set was the knackered-looking one lent by a local chap, that took some adjusting to actually make it playable? The band's machine had some sort of earthing problem, halting the gig for 15 mins (ouch), while mine decided, later in their set, to slow down during large chords (despite its SMS-2), then get horrendous tape slippage (not my tapes) on the middle A, making a near-farce of the final number. The gig was absolutely magnificent, though - I hope a few of you got to see them at NEARfest.
