Hello Hivers, this is anna-newkey here.

Hope, you're all well.

Today I'd like to share another video from one of our gigs, this time one of the 80s.
We both are kids of that decade and Steve is very much into the music of that time, that's indeed a well known fact.

I find some of the stuff a little too electronic nowadays, but most of the songs can quite happily be played acoustically. "Don't You Want Me" by Human League is no exception and has been one of his standard tunes for a very long time, but obviously needs a female singer.

I have had the little uke bass since Christmas and am still practicing, as you can imagine, but catching up fairly quickly. It's a little quite on this recording from about a month ago, but that's a good thing as I was still finding my feet. Now I am happy for people to turn me up a notch to be heard..

We had a gig on Thursday, one yesterday and another one tonight where we played and will play this one. It is usually well received with the right crowd, i.e. kids like us.. ha



Thanks for looking!


@threespeak or @peakd
I know you are all very busy bees, but I wonder if you could look into the issue that updating a post in PeakD trashes the thumbnail and makes the video look like it's not available?
I've added an image at the top now to hide that error.
Apologies if you know about this already.. 😃

Hey, thank you so very much!
I see you're a musician yourself, nice to hear such a compliment.
There will be more, but all that zooming in and out takes some time to do.
Watch this space.. 😄

I've seen Steve do this song so many times and you do it well together. Don't be shy about adding more bass :)

I'm always finding it too loud when we sound check, but then it turns out far to quite on the recordings, which is why I love taking them.. I have one from Saturday and I sure could have gone up a notch, you can really only hear on one song. I must be more courageous.. haha

Bass needs some power to be heard. I know that getting the levels right is tricky, especially if you have to do it yourself. Looks like you guys are really busy.
