At most gigs, most guitarists/guitar players/guitar owners will get a member of the audience ask them about their set-up. I thought that someone might be interested to know about my rig. There’s not much to it as I like a nice, simple sound. I’ll start from the plectrum and work all the way through to the amp. 1. Plectrums – I use Tortex .88 (green) plectrums. Used them for years. They last ages, tend not…[more]
To our loyal fans, Thanks for all your support during 2009. Here’s to a brilliant 2010 full of great gigs, good music and a load of laughs. All the best, The Crush
Pete brought along his Box Brownie last night and we managed to get the thing to take the photos below!
Many thanks to Vicky Gosling for taking these shots of us on Saturday night. Nice one.
A massive thank you to everyone who turned out last night. A great time was had by all and we had loads of fantastic feedback from the crowd. Not even the rain could dampen our spirits. For those who couldn’t make it, here’s what you missed: Set One JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH HARD TO HANDLE ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT STEPPING STONE THE ONE I LOVE ENJOY THE SILENCE WHITE ROOM HYSTERIA YOU DO…[more]
We’re lucky. Not only is Jamie a great drummer but he can draw a bit as well. Here’s the latest arkwork which you’ll no doubt see around Ain’t he a clever little sausage…..
We’re very pleased to announce that The Crush will be playing at The Shield and Dagger, Winchester Road, Shirley, Southampton on Saturday 6th Feb 2010. 8pm start
Right. Here goes. I’ve been told I’ve got to write a few paragraphs about my long, successful, musical career. I enjoy a challenge. Okay, this is how I remember things. First band was formed at Havant College sometime around 1991. We never did settle on a name although ‘The Seven Jelly Babies’ springs to mind. There were five of us. There was then another band. It’s a bit hazy. There was yet another band. This…[more]
Hello world, Thought I’d introduce myself to y’all. Started playing rhythm, lead and bass guitar when dinosaurs still wandered around and soon got into the scene in a band called The Jugglers playing own songs and covers in pubs and clubs in North London, including support one night at The Marquee Club. Followed on doing the odd spell late 70’s as a session musician for anyone who asked. Played bass early 80’s for a rock…[more]
We’d really like to see any photos that you take of the band at any of our gigs/events. If you’re happy for your snaps to be replicated either on this blog or on Facebook (group name ‘The Crush Fan Club’) then there are a number of ways you can get them to us: 1. Email them to rich@the-crush.net 2. Set yourself up on this blog and post them here 3. Add them to Facebook tagging…[more]
I’m Jamie, I play drums for the Crush. (Is that enough of a biog Rich?) I discovered my love of music at an early age. At infants school, like most kids, I was presented with a Recorder – I can still remember the sound made by 12 kids playing “London’s Burning”, slightly out of tune on the recorder. Then I dabbled with the violin for a while in first school. I could hear my parent’s…[more]

YES!!!! I think it’s safe to say that we had a fantastic night at The Carisbrooke Arms, Gosport on Saturday 11th May 2013. It was great to see so many familiar faces and a load of new ones too. Plus having a group turn up for a 30th Anniversary school reunion helped. There were plenty of sing-a-longs and a shed load of dancing to boot. That will always make for a good evening. Thanks again to everyone at…[more]

Well, that’s another success at The Waterside Club, Holbury on Saturday 27th April 2013. We had to start slightly earlier than normal and finish a tad later due to a big darts tournament that the club had been running but that didn’t stop anyone having a great time. As usual, there was a great crowd in who were very much up for a good time and the staff at The Waterside Club looked after us as…[more]
What a cracking night!! We had an amazing time at The Centurion, Crookhorn (Friday 26th April 2013). There was a great crowd in, lots of dancing and it was one of those nights where we had the sound dialled right in. Don’t get me wrong, we sound great at every gig but last night it just sounded that little bit more hooked up. Believe it or not it’s been over two years since we were…[more]
