sbrag Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Raymondo is legend travelling across the country to see us and visit Trowbridge an experience he may cherish or regret! Be good to see as many west country bcers as possible and if any one wants a hand over at the White Swan or I can deliver it easily in the Bristol/Bath/Wilts area although I may not drive as far as Ray!

sbrag Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We'll see what we can sort once I've got it next weekend. It feels like the bass is heading back to the south coast again towards Jim in pompey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrag Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The next leg of the bass relay is now confirmed. I will be taking the baton from Bristol to the Heart of Oak in Exeter on Saturday 15th November where Skidder652003, aka Steve from The Jefferson Archive,will be the next to use the bass. Be good to see some other BCers there. I am also trying to get the bass to my drummers other band, The Sleepwalkers, gig at the Buttercross Inn Chippenham on Thursday, to raise a few more ££££££s. Tom Skool in Weymouth or Callum Williams in Liverpool have also put their names forward to have the bass so it looks like the relay is alive and well for now.

Cameronj279 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If my current band wasn't requiring a 5 string for every song I'd love to get it back up here at some point! Glad to see the relays still going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm up for the relay too, I'll wait until it comes to Liverpool, as I'm based in North Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it needs a stop off in bristol on its way back North I'm happy to be involved again and know a couple of people who would use it but couldn't this time round.

skidder652003 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Alright chaps and chap-esses? Ive got one awesome bass sitting in my dinning room here in sunny Teignmouth waiting to head off on its next journey, anyone fairly localish gigging in the next couple of weeks I can hand onto? Raised £30.75 last time, lets keep this thing going! Please PM if you're available. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrag Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Slightly out of date now, but a bit of press for the relay in my works paper from when I had the bass back in October has just been published. A brief article but should go round a couple of thousand people and there ought to be a few more bass players across the sites. I'll try and post a copy when I can.

sbrag Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 When I dropped the baton off to Steve aka Skidder652003 I thought it would be nice if a few of the bands who have been involved in the relay could get together to for a charity gig to raise some more money for the fund. I have pm'd Jimryan who is happy especially if it is February to mark the 2nd anniversary of the relay. I am happy to look into organising something and have pm'd a few people who have been involved, and emailed Cancer Research UK for any support they can provide, but I would love to hear from any bands, specifically those who have used the Purple one, who would like to play. Details are light at the moments as it is very early stages, but sometime in Feb and hopefully in or within a commutable distance of Bristol. Let me know if you would like to be involved, I know if 2 or 3 bands already but it would be great to get at least a couple more. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
