Priceless, based in Surrey

You practice for decade, put a band together, gig your arse off for 2 years, record some clips, set up a website, finally someone contacts you:

"Dear Sir, do you know any good Pedal steel players you could put me in contact with, I'm based in Surrey, Any help would be sincerely appreciated, Patrick."

Love it.

So, if any "good" pedal steel players would like to get in touch with Patrick, based in Surrey, here's his email: [email protected]

My favourite is when you take a dep gig and they say "I'm so glad you can do it - we asked absolutely everyone else we could think of"

Exactly! There must be a word for this type of well meaning slight, somewhere between a backhanded compliment and faint praise. Ah, to be to be enthusiastically overlooked...!
