urb Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I know he's not everyone's cup of Earl Grey - but this is a good chance to see MM outside London and in a good hall/venue - anyway just thought some of you would be interested in this: http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/69-2012/12228-jazz-breaking-news-bill-frisell-marcus-miller-and-tim-garland-set-for-cheltenham-jazz-festival Cheers M Quote
discreet Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 My home town. It's very lovely there, and I have treasured memories of Cheltenham Ladies College. Quote

bubinga5 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) its a while off, but i hope i see you guys there...a bass chat PM will be winging its way to you gloucestershire and non gloucestershire dudes when the time comes Edited January 15, 2012 by bubinga5 Quote
bassace Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Not sure where MM will be playing. I went to see Dave Holland in the Town Hall two years ago and although the venue was sold out the sound was great and the bass came over very well in such a large venue. There seems to be quite a Cheltenham connection on BC. I was there for three years in the sixties, loved the place and played with the Ramrods for a while. They're still going today. Wonder if they've still got those old (and very valuable) Fenders. Quote
bubinga5 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 i reckon it might be on the bar in the park.. just on the promenade. in a huge tent they put up. i could be totally wrong.. if it is, its a wicked place to see live music... beer.. sunshine.. Marcus Miller... it dont get any better than that Quote
Thor Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I reckon I'd be up for this one, looking forward to it already. Quote
