DBerriff Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hello fellow bass players. After a number of years playing with the Manx Swing Band and a soul/covers band I am moving to Oakham to join the army of grandparent child minders. That ages me. I have no idea in what direction my bass playing will take me next, but at least a few of the pubs in Oakham promote live music. In the meantime I have no excuse for not improving my fretless and upright playing. I look forward to following the discussions on here. Cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBerriff Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I see I am supposed to mention my gear and taste in music. Gear: Basses: Mike Lull PJ 5; Roscoe Century fretless; BSX Allegro. Amplification: Genz Benz Streamliner or Shuttle through GB 12" cabs. I have just bought one of the new One10s from Barefaced. Music: swing/big band, soul, Motown, some rock, some reggae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well, if there are any like-minded 60+ musicians in the Oakham area then we have a name for the band. It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBerriff Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thank you. From a Welshman moving from the Isle of Man back to England. No wonder I am confused most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My Dad lives in Oakham. He plays piano and recently played with a big band. Think it was near Peterborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have been the bass player for the Manx Swing Band for the past 10 years. Once we are settled perhaps I could say hello. Thanks Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
