stingrayPete1977 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You could slot in behind Chrismuzz if you have a gig just after his or even go after me and you pass it to the Stokeys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Jam nights to play at if thats all you can get to , it doesn't matter , just play a song and pass it on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I'm happy to be a link in this. I'm in Stockport and I can pick up the bass this Friday or Saturday. I'm not gigging at the moment, but I'm off to a jam night on Sunday, if that's any good. I might be able to blag a guest spot for one song with my old band who are gigging on 5th April, but I'd need to know soonish if I'll have the bass at that time. Don't want to get in the way of its journey to Scotland with mcnach. Steve Edited March 27, 2013 by solo4652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Excellent news ,we have people queing for it now Latest from me is that Vinny has been in contact and will happily take it on next and I have tentatively given him the OK ,though I am not sure he can attend on thursday, or what his gig diary is like, but I will point him to the thread now and get his input with regard the other kind offer from Steve .

Jimryan Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Also, could all participants consider contacting their local press. Where's it's a relatively quirky idea, they tend to like it. It'll help raise awareness and in turn, hopefully raise some more donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs as much publicity as possible, because to be honest, £75 is pretty shocking. How many gigs has it done now? 4/5? I'm not pointing the finger or blaming anybody at all, but it just needs more publicity to draw in money. Make it a bit of a spectacle to draw in the crowds.

Kev [/quote] Hi Kev, Not a problem at all. I can take the bass if Vinny isn't able to, and play it for 1 song at Madisons in Rawtenstall on 5th April. Apparently, I'll be playing Sweet Home Alabama.... Just let me know, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is something we can give to them. Ideally a single link to the website or document that sums up what the relay is all about. I know you have prepared the bass relay rule and set that out to all participants, but i feel we need a press release type of thing. Could you sort something out Jim?

"The BassChat bass relay is coming to YOU!" *blurb in regular sized writing* *Date and venue in big bright font* I should do this for a living.

[/quote] If it's anything like my local, they will have gone out of their way to make spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, but quick to pick up on when a local business went under and spelt "Until" wrong on the sigh they put on the door. They spelt it "Untill"... I think the overriding issue of job losses and the impact on the local economy was a bigger story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
