I'm planning on going down and back up on the night, so there's potentially space in my car for another 4 Geordies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't see Mr Manring coming any further north, so I'm grabbing the opportunity while it's there. That said, I reckon he could get quite an audience in Hall Two at the Sage. Hmmm. Someone should have a word with the bookings people there for the next time MM comes over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 The event date has now been revised, due to the way the rest of the artists' commitments have panned out. This will now happen on [b]Thursday 21st October[/b]. The date change has meant a need to change venue too, so as soon as that has been sorted I'll update you.

Born 2B Mild Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Have let the fingers do the walking today. The result is a short list of at least four candidate venues ...all hotels in central Harrogate. I'll be checking each out tomorrow, so all being well I'll have made the booking and have posted the details here by early evening tomorrow (Thursday).

Adrenochrome Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Okay, I can make the new date! I should point out that I don't have much spare cash so I won't be looking to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Just to say that I have just come back from the venue which is now sorted. Later today, I'll sort out the online ticket purchasing, but here's what is known right now: [list] [*]Venue: [url="http://www.coastandcountryhotels.com/England/Yorkshire/hotels/The-St-George-Hotel"]Swallow St George Hotel[/url], Harrogate [*]There's hotel parking [*]Mingling starts at 7pm (cash bar) [*]Performance starts 8pm [*]Tickets in advance at £10 BUT subscribers to the Bass Gear's (free) e-newsletter will get a 50% discount. [*]A limited number of free tickets will be available to students on a full-time bona fide music course [/list] There's a batch of Zon Basses in California right now being boxed up to come over and be on display at the event. Hell, you can even buy them! Better still, Joe Zon is going to be attending too Hope you can make it, as I truly think it will be worth it.

Born 2B Mild Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Good to see the discount deal mechanism is working (see post #38). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 A week to go. Tickets are selling steadily and there's already enough coming to make a decent audience, but there's room for more without getting crowded. Don't forget the Basschat discount deal, plus the free Student List (see post #38) It should be an inspiring evening and not one that comes around to often.

BottomEndian Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 And seriously... I'm still looking for someone to share my lonely drive to and from Northumberland/Tyneside, if only to keep me awake on the way back! Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born 2B Mild Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Information update. There's a healthy number of tickets sold, surpassing my target in fact, but there's plenty of room for more. This is just to say that last minute online purchases are welcome (there's no physical ticket) as are cash buyers on the door. For online purchases at www.bassgear.co.uk Email me for the redemption code for the Basschat 50% off. Thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
