Gareth Hughes Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks for that aonindy - looking forward to it a lot. And it's my old neighbourhood - a nice trip down memory lane for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aonindy Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 All good - if anyones interested we could grab a coffee or something beforehand and go in a group - intimidate the pure classical folk with our rockin/blusey/jazzin hooliganism antics and posing and stuff ... or just hang out and look cool cos we'd be in a group and everyone else would be standing around the wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Absolutely - sounds like a plan. I don't have a gig that night yet, so Murphy's law will surely bite me on the ass as soon as I make plans - but failing that I'll be there. I have it in my diary, so lets get the PM's going coming up to the date. Maybe we should all wear sunglasses and look like a real gang? Hang around the entrance and intimidate the classical folks - hum some swing tunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 sorry lads double bass with a bow isnt for me kinda sounds like someone set a bag of cats on fire (i swear it wasnt me) no offence Mr Wolf i know you have great musicianship technique and so on and can easily play other material maybe even some funk. Theres nothing as good as a funky double bass. Anyway check this guy out on youtube adambenezra (dont know how to link it) its not strictly funk but its fun and hes a great musician also, thats what id like to hear at a doublebass party.

aonindy Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 I went to the Expo today ... for those local who missed it - you *really* missed out! ... it was fantastic. The master-classes were pure magic, I learned so much watching others being coached, and the recital at the end was simply incredible.. If its on again next year, don’t miss it! /A.
