Well, it’s free so you have no excuse not to be there 😀 (unless you’re gigging yourself of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am gigging tomorrow, might wander down this evening, unless it looks crowded - I don't do crowds if I can avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve played there before and it does get busy, but that was on a Saturday. They’ve never had the main stage running on a Friday before, so I really don’t know what it’s going to be like today.

FinnDave Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I must have driven past the place it's going to be (the Less) on Wednesday bringing my wife home from work. I went to the festival on a Saturday afternoon a few years ago, and didn't see any bands I found interesting, but I might give it another go today. Do we need Basschat badges or something in case we run into each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep a look out for someone wearing a Grateful Dead shirt. I have got that right haven’t I? Apologies if not 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 If I go, I'll wear a Grateful Dudes shirt, same kind of thing, tie dye with a logo on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Witney is the spiritual home of Basschat. It was founded at Henry Box School, which you can pelt from the Leys 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were discussing this the other night at rehearsal. Is there a limit to how long you can leave a car parked at Sainsbury’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think it's a couple of hours. There's another car park a little further past Sainsburys, straight over the next roundabout, and you get 3 hours free there, might be unlimited in the evenings, mainly for shoppers at Waitrose and the town centre. Best bet is to keep and eye on the time and move from Sainsburys to the Waitrose one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I’d park down station lane, there’s a warehouse where Fabukous Bakin’ Boys used to be, I think it’s avenue 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I went to the festival, that's where everyone was trying to park! If you park at Sainsburys, can walk out the back exit and cross the road straight into the Leys (I know you know that, Ped, its' for the benefit of those less familiar with Witney). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Sorry, failed to get out of the door, too busy trying to get used to my new six string in the hope of being able to gig it tonight and lost all sense of time. Hope it went well (including the parking!). Catch you another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Pity I couldnt make it, an eighteen month old with the sick bug put paid to any plans last night... looks like it was a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 No worries guys. Catch you at another one somewhere. There’s a few videos floating about. I’ll put some up in the ChangesTwoBowie thread in due course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
