Hi All Bass Day UK is really getting a name for itself in the industry. More and more players are wanting to come to the event. It's fast becoming a great event for everything you would want, need, and see related to bass. It's obviously had great support from the UK industry including Lanufacturers, Luthiers, Education, publishing, artists and the general public themselves.

Lots of free prize draws including a Farida Bass (Dawsons music), Victor Wooten DVD, Roto sound strings and much more. See you there Gary

Hi All This year looks set to be another great year. Matt Garrison is on the cards just trying to finalise the details. The noise issue should have been resolved this year as it was a problem last year and has been addressed.

[quote name='sshorepunk' post='664456' date='Nov 24 2009, 10:38 PM']I thought the bass chat stand was the long one, just in front of the bar, I think MB1 did as well! T[/quote] Looked that way from where I was stood! Stevie's pint finding Strings might have put you back a little though. Thanks to everyone who came along this year. Yes there were some volume issues and stand placements issues this year but all in all turned out to be a great day again. Great to see so many new faces as well as the old ones. Great to see so many kids getting involved. One young lad (couldn't have been much older than 8) was waiting all day for Nathan East! Hopefully an event like this will inspire more and more younger people as well as the rest of us. Again great to see the education side of things and great spots on the Boom stage as usual from Dave Marks and Andrew McKinney

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the comments. Overall Bass Day was a great success again this year and the artists that played at Band on The Wall last night were amazing. Noise levels, placements of traders and quiet rooms will be something we will defiantly be concentrating on next year. We all put a lot of our own time and work into this event (have done for the last 4 years) and feel very personal about it. We also still feel we have kept to the original essence of the event which is this is not a trade event. The main aim (and still is) of Bass Day UK is to bring artists from all over the world together in one place for one day that the public would never generally see. We do however have and need trade as without them we would be playing boxes with a broom handle stuck in the top. In addition there is also some great trade within the UK and internationally we fully support and want to be able to bring to the event. At the end of the day it is balance that occasionally tips. The important thing is we listen and learn from it which I can assure everyone we have done each year and this year will be no exception. In fact myself and Stevie will be meeting up in the next week to discuss how things went, improvements and start planning Bass Day UK 2010. I think and hope we keep raising the bar each year and next year will be even better. Again thanks to everyone who came and supported Bass Day UK. It was great to see both old and new faces. It was also great to see more families this year and younger children getting involved. You never know they maybe future Bass Day UK artists!! Thanks Gary

Thanks to everyone who came again! It was great day and good to see so many new faces, public and traders. Getting ready now and off to Band on The Wall soon and catch Poogie in full funk swing and Adam. Spent most of my time on the door yesterday so missed everyone. Spent years trying to see Adam. Got him booked for 2006 Bassday but missed it because I went to Africa. and of course missed him yesterday., Will not be missing it tonight though.
