Capital Models - 2018-07-22 (Audience Recording)

Up reasonably early...

...and listening to this, which was behind the door on our return last night...

Today's main event though, for which there was much pre-departure prep, was Capital Models' first "live" rehearsal for the gig on 1 September...

The car was loaded prior to Keith arriving and we set off for Roslin around 1:20, post some chat with the EP - who declined an invitation to come along and give her opinion on the sound...

It took around an hour to get set up and ready to start playing through the set...

It has to be said the sound was less than ideal...

...but I have some ideas as to how to set up in two weeks when we return...

As regards the actual playing, as opposed to the sound, we are now pretty tight on matters and Paul did an excellent job, given it was his first time playing with the full band (in person) - and the fact that the sound was less than generous to his keyboards...

And so Capital Models is a quintet once again...

Today's artwork : "The Stage is Set"...

Highlight of the Day : Playing very loudly...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
