With the last regular episode of Lockdown Lead Guitar being uploaded to YouTube a couple of weeks ago I’ve been focusing on other things – live music seems to be making a slow comeback, but still under certain restrictions, but rehearsals have been ongoing.

As well as trying (and sometimes succeeding) to remember songs that I’ve not played for a while, I’ve also set up an Instagram account for Off Your Rocker – the first post showing Ally and David looking like hostages in a ransom demand. The next task on the agenda is to make sure my equipment is gig ready; the main pedalboard for Independence and OYR was rebuilt yesterday – a little tidying up of the cabling is still required – the next step will be the rack based system for Madison as it’s been dismantled and elements of it used in the studio since lockdown began last year.
