Twinwood - any of you lot here?

[TheRev]

I'm at Twinwood festival this weekend and its double bass-tastic.
It's been really interesting to see so many different playing styles and techniques - some of them totally 'wrong' (according to standard teachings) but they're all up there kicking out the swing.

Saw a band last night where it looked like the top of the bass was concave - wonder if he knows his bassbar/soundpost has fallen over?

I was playing at a local festival this weekend, they had a container to store instruments and when I turned up to store my bass there were already five others in there! Seems all the cool kids are playing upright these days. :-)

TBF, the cool kids have been playing DB

I don't think I'd class many of the bassists at Twinwood as 'kids'...

But they were cool.

I was at Galtres at the weekend and there were lots of double bassists, even met a guy who told me most of the previous owners of my bass .

I was also at Galtres but only for short periods each day because I was dog sitting while my missus ran the Arts Barge tent. It was a good vibe thus year but I wasn't interested in most of the bill. Buzzcocks and Jon Gomm and Billy Bragg, of course they were all on different days...
