deaver Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wonder if Mrs Deaver would like to spend our wedding anniversary in Brighton..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hmm... Not sure I can make this one as I have friends down that weekend from Londinium!! Might need to borrow a cunning plan from WalMan as the opportunity to meet Herbie Flowers is way too good to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the last one though. The day itself is pretty so, so... but I have to say, it's well worth going just to see Herbie Flowers. Very funny man and his work shop is very interactive and entertaining! - he is a true legend... he'll even let you have a go on his old, old, beat up Jazz! It was a lovely day last time... an excuse for GB porn in the garden... (complete with Great British bulldog...) Hopefully those who go will have good weather. Mind you, I am currently sitting in Worthing and the weather at the moment isn't looking too hot. Even the seagulls aren't coming out to play...

In particular, the hour that I was privileged enough to spend time in the company of Herbie Flowers, was just fabulous. That man is absolutely amazing! To hear his stories about Serge Gainsbourg, David Bowie & Lou Reed, Henry Mancini, Motown and Stax session players etc, etc for just £3 was unbelievable. If you ever get the chance to catch him doing this - with his 1955 tuba, his 1960 Jazz Bass and a wonderful old double bass - do it because it's really inspirational..

Kiwi Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Bugger, I couldnt make it. I had a job interview (yes, on a Sunday). Would have been good to catch up with Herbie and Lawrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Completely missed that this was happening! Shame as I'm sure they'd have appreciated hearing the new cabs, I gather GAS is only ever a good thing... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
