Gazm Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Which way would you be going to Nottingham? I might be able to meet up on the way? I have a gig tonight in Barton under Needwood and Saturday night in Tamworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazm Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I could meet you at the Derby & Burton Services near Toyota depending on when you are going. Failing that I'm sure there a plenty of members in Nottingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you wanna use the bass that night, I'll give it a quick setup for you cause I've got it in Eb at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not sure when I'll be free, maybe around 2pm but I'm not sure tomorrow night's gig is the right one (playing at a club). I'd rather do it at one of our regular pub gigs, the next one is May 3rd so a couple of weeks away. Maybe leave it for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather use it at a gig when I know they'll be loads of regular followers and get them to dig deep in their pockets It would also be good to get it advertised in advance and possibly get some local press coverage prior to the gig - is there a press information pack available to make this easier?

Cheers Pete. [/quote] There isn't really. All I did was write to them with a brief description. The obscurity of it all and the fact it's for CRUK kinda compelled them to get involved. From there it was a phone call where I went in depth and and email supplying links to this thread and the Facebook page. So no real press pack as such. Though, with how well it's going so far, give it a few more hand overs and I'll contact national press (the sun's always up for a charity campaign). I do urge all members involved (and to be involved :-p) to contact their local papers though. After all, it's all good publicity right?

lurksalot Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) yep get stuck in everyone , its a great cause and something bass wise to get involved in ed to add .. I am not sure there is a 'right ' gig for this thing , I think it is a momentum thing , and the sooner it gets a next gig the better , the money may trickle in, but if it gigs it creates and carries its own history , this will give it more heritage and a greater pulling power for the pennies , just keep it moving , don't let the grass grow Edited April 20, 2013 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Keeping an eye on this thread. I'm not gigging at the moment, but we're rehearsing regularly with new personel. If The Baton lands down Cambridge way, and we're gig-ready, I'll take it for a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If it comes to Northern Ireland, I can make a video with it to promote it, but I can't promise anything gig-wise. Somebody else could do a gig with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 It's still in Stoke on Trent at the moment. I'll be in Crewe tomorrow evening (Saturday) for a gig if that's a bit closer to anyone who wants a bash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Gazm, If it got to you for this 3rd May gig I could collect it from you. I have a barn dance job on the 10th May and from me it could go to Nottingham.

casapete Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm gigging in Bedworth on Wednesday 1st May and then Derby on Saturday 11th May if that helps? (Unfortunately don't have transport at either of these locations so would mean meeting up at the gigs in these towns if possible-sorry!)
