Theoretically could be, as the work on hootenanny is all done by about September. 😉 I’m sure Jools and his Hootenanniens aren’t that worried about us lot on Basschat...and the BBC keep on recommissioning it, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where there’s Jools, there’s boogie woogie.

You Jools Holland?

I have a nut allergy

Madness on BBC1 not much better. Oh well.

Is Gregory Porter in it this year?

I really liked the channel 4 series “live from abbey road” - a focused programme on a few acts. usually top flight. Im struggling to remember, might’ve been 3 bands per show. Think it was about 2003/4 I don’t know, jools Holland used to be better because bands/music used to be better? Or is that just nostalgic nonsense? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_from_Abbey_Road

Watch out though, they’ll replace him with Lauren Laverne.

Hahaha dunno. That 300 is winking at me 😉

Got it. £92. bit more than I wanted to pay really, but still under the £100.

A nice - slightly modded BB300 has come up if anyone is still looking. If I don’t win the 200 (probably will) then I’ll be going for it https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303012846785

That really makes no sense. At all. As in - I wouldn’t buy that bass. how odd.

Dave Stewart And Annie Lennox?

Retailer margins usually are pretty pathetic. Fender margins got to about 15% GP When I worked in retail, and then some box shifter would undercut. Some expensive tech gear was as little as 8% GP. thats business, but unfortunately bricks and mortar costs are on the rise while profits are down. dont know if it’s still the same, assuming nothing has improved.

Er. Er. Eeew. 🤮

He’ll be there, they just throw a dust cover over him when they finish filming and whip it back off when they start. It’s the only thing he does all year.

These arrived today, true gent x

The BB200 I’m bidding on is December 1987 must be fate 😉

This guy?

He was on something with Jason Manford at the Albert Hall (a re-run from last Christmas) - singing a Christmas Carol of some format, he missed every cue, seemed to forget what he was singing...just not good. I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke, but I just cannot listen to him at all.

Gb34a are the blocks stuck on?

“Damn, we in a tight spot”

I haven’t been in a HMV for years, until about 5 months ago. They didn’t have what I wanted and there was nobody to ask for help, so I left. - as an aside, it’s a shame for the staff. It really is. And having had mates in a similar position, I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone - especially not in January when everyone decides they’re going to look for a new job... count my blessings I got out of retail. it’s a dying industry

“Ain’t this a geographical oddity...two weeks from everywhere?!”

54? Although I thought the 54 had dot inlays?
