Mr Bassman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 How about a Northern upright bash on Saturday 7th April? Bassace has a gig that night in Boston Spa, it's just off the A1 near Wetherby. I could have a word with the venue or find another maybe in Harrogate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I couldn't get to the bash because I'm with the band transport and won't be up there until just before gig time. There was a bash at Northampton some time ago in a convenient hotel with a large car park. Bit more central. Any interest in that? At least it's closer to Canterbury.

Beedster Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 In all seriousness i could easily set something up in Canterbury, in Medway, or possibly in Surrey (M25-land) but any further afield I'd require help. I'll post this in the other thread or it could get messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRev Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've got 2 gigs on the 7th, so no from me. I'm happy enough to do something in the south east though, Mrs Rev's mum lives in Hampshire,so I can drop her off on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think I'm in that London doing a showcase gig for a singer friend. I could be wrong but I think that's the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 LOL loving this thread. Yorkshire or Canterbury, this upright bassgirl is unable to attend, I'm afraid, but I'm sending you all good vibes! Please take pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bassman Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'd be up for doing something I don't know if 7th April is a good date, I was hoping to tie it in with meeting Bassace but he's travelling up with his band just before his gig at Boston Spa so won't have any spare time.

sarah thomas Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Wednesday 11 April to Sunday 22 April are good for me and I'm happy to travel during that time too. Outside of those dates and it would be a lot easier no further north than the Midlands. This thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/73093-double-bass-setup-and-lessons-bristol/page__st__20 is talking about a DB workshop in Bristol. Maybe the two threads could join forces? (Or is that three threads - Yorkshire, Canterbury and Bristol. Maybe we should just take over a small hotel for the weekend?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
