voxpop Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Looks like an interesting day out......anyone going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well I think I will, and take my eldest too, he knows Herbie quite well from the last two Rockshops he went on, so he wont want to miss out, plus I've not seen Terry Popple for a while and he's an old mate from years ago (and a superb drummer to boot), a jam with him is always worth while!

urb Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Seeing as I'm missing the Bass Bash on 11 Oct - and Bass Day - I'm going to try and get down to this - Franc O'Shea is one the UK's best players/composer IMO and I'm a huge fan of Mr Cottle - so hopefully see some of you there.

urb Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Doh... looks like I'll miss this as well (along with Bass Day and the SE Bash ) as it's my first weekend off from gigging/rehearsing - I'm away chilling out - I thought it was a week later than it is - nevermind at least I'm playing lots of bass at the mo... see you next year!

alexclaber Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I may be there and I may bring some cabs! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I may well try and get down for this seeing as I might miss the SE bass bash! Does anyone know if it generally sells out? As I'll most likely have to decide closer to the time! Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I shall definitely be attending this as Dave likes the idea of having a wall of Barefaced cabs on show! I'll be doing a workshop on acoustics and tone at 2pm, which unlike the other workshops will be free, because I'm worth it. Alex P.S. Just noticed I'll be Herbie Flowers' warm-up act. Am scared...

When he does the Rockshop (which Plux has attended twice now) concert we get a couple of minutes of Herbie Spiel between each band, and he never dries up (knocks things over sometimes though Edited October 14, 2009 by 51m0n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Quick reminder-stylee bump - this is on this Sunday, chaps! Alex, will you be bringing your troupe of BareFaced Midgets? (Oh the mental imagery that conjures ) If so I'll bring my rack as well as my bass, cos I'd really like to hear one with all my gubbins running into it (especially a T'Midget if one is ready!!!)

bassix Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think I'm going along to this, but it'll be my first time, do I take my guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Can if you want. Then you can get to have a jam with me old mate Terry Popple if you want to. He's a properly top drummer mate, well worth a bash with him, he played for Van Morrison (all be it a long time ago ). Superb bloke too!

Stingray5 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'd intended going to this, provided nothing came up.... Curses -- something has come up! Got a band rehearsal (pffft, what do they know about Bass Days?! ) Oh well, maybe next time? To those who are going, have a great day and I look forward to seeing any photos here after the event.
