squire5 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If you're wondering,Norn Iron is how people from Northern Ireland pronounce their region.Anyhoo,I'm an elderly gent,been playing bass since 15,now 55 but gigging away.I'm using a Squier p5,a '76 Precision and a Frankenparts Jazz.All through a Trace Elliot 4x10,1x15 and GP11 head,which is nearly as old as I am!Into blues,some AOR,and love the Sixties!Nice to make your aquaintance. BTW it's nice to see a bass forum that doesn't alienate you just because your not from the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Good to see a few more NI members on the forum! Where abouts are you based? In any notable bands that I might be able to catch on the local scene? You are of course very welcome, enjoy your stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire5 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Danny.I'm in Downpatrick,but unfortunately there are precious few bands about here now.There are a few folk bands.You will have heard of Ash,Relish,The Answer etc.who all hail from these parts,but the pubs are mainly running the Kar****ke Krews ie singers with backing tracks.There is however a 4 piece band going by the name Purple Haze,who are very good(ahem).I hear the bass player is extra good!!!
