bassace Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Do we have a list of those who will be coming? I will, and I’ll be picking up Bob (Staggering On) from his hotel in Bicester. He’s come over from Canada. So who else do we have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Silvie & me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's relatively local for me, but I don't play double bass, never have done and don't want my will power tested! I also have a gig in the evening on Saturday, so need to conserve some energy and hearing! Of course, if anyone is heading back from the bash southbound along the A34, they could turn off at Abingdon, head for the Brewery Tap and have their hearing damaged for the second time in one day!

Thanks again for pointing that out, it's been fixed now. Roger Warner is a musician, so I think they count as a duo, if not a full band. But we're a 4 piece.

stingrayPete1977 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Poop I only just saw this or I could have Owen as Phatbottom is ill so it could have gone on the front. I'm on route, just stopped for breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice day,nice basses,nice people...perfect day. Special thanks to Bassace for the ride to the bash. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 That was one of the nicest days I can remember - really lovely bunch of people, played some excellent (and thought-provoking) kit, met some old friends, made some new ones. Basschat at its finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The vibe was very good. As usual I got a burst of unexpected GAS. I find it very easy to persuade myself that I need "something different" from what I have, but I got to play a bunch of other stuff which were all lovely but came away thinking "I am happy with what I have".

bassace Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Third from right is Simon, a local musician and friend of Bro Malvis. What a great day! Great shout for Bro M whose organisation was so laid back that I thought the whole thing was going to fall over before it even started, but I shouldn’t have worried. That man has mystical powers, it seems. And thanks, Owen, for some classy catering from the local Co Op. Truly an enjoyable day. What a great bunch, the BC DBers.

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Thanks Roger! and Thanks Bro M and everybody, it was great to see you all, catch up, meet new faces, and be able to talk DBs and other stuff in a lovely, friendly environment. I'm working on the photos and the accompanying blog. Edited April 15, 2018 by Silvia Bluejay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
