Hi All We were aware that we would clash with the last day of Music Live. We were also aware of this very early in the year. Problem was the RNCM wanted us to have the whole event and this was the only date possible otherwise we would not have been able to hold the event until next year sometime or would not have had as much space. Maybe it was or wasn't the right decision but from the attendance and most of the feedback we have had I personally think it was still very successful. We will of course try to avoid this in future. To be fair though most of the traders we deal with (apart from the big boys which we endeavour to get more involved and more entry level equipment available) prefer to show at Bass Day rather than Music Live as they feel Bass Day is more tailored to them. A lot of the traders have also commented on the professionalism, appreciation, consideration and genuine enthusiasm for the product that the public come to the event show. We continue though to address everyone’s concerns and feedback to make future events even better. What we want to avoid is Bass Day UK just becoming another trade event, from the beginning this event has been about bringing great artists to the public. While the trade is an important part of it our priority is bringing artists to the public for one day a year that they generally would not see. Thanks Gary

Also wanted to add a thanks to our european Bass Day friends. Not sure if some of them are on Bass Chat but it's great to see people making the long trip to see this event. This year we had people who flew over from Slovakia, Italy, Barcelona Cyprus, and Poland to attend Bass Day UK. Hope you had a great day Also a big big thanks to Ped and the Bass Chat team in helping promote the event here. Much appreciated

Hi Everyone Glad to see everyone had a good time. Thanks to everyone who attended this year, the event is getting bigger and better each year. I'll also take on board some of the suggestions people have made reagrding the event. If you have any photos, videos etc and you are on Face Book don't forget to add tem to the Bass Day UK group. It would be great to see them all. Thanks Gary
