That sounds good to me! It'll be so cool to catch up with everyone again! I'll probably be wearing BC colours

Good stuff! Still prefer David Ellefson, though...

[Grand Wazoo]

I've just learnt that I will be having an operation in mid Jan on my right foot and the surgeon told me after the op I will be 12 weeks home bound non weight bearing on my leg therefore, 12 weeks from mid of Jan means that in March when the show is on I still won't be able to attend. Oh well

It's an absolute trek to get there on time from Portsmouth - you're gonna be knackered before you arrive. I did the trip a couple of years ago.

Oh really? Why's that? i've never been that far south before, or really used public transport at all in england really. Worst part would definitely be that i have to commute by myself.

Hmmmmmm.
Hope there is a spare amp for Jah Wobble. He managed to blow his up in about 10secs at last years Bass Day. His comment, "I am always doing this". Must cost Ashdown a fortune in replacing his gear.

Spent some time with Paul Turner this weekend in Hook End. He might show up, if they come back to the country on time with Jamiroquai (they plan to return on Friday night, before the show). It there's any delay, he won't come. If he does though, there may be a very special one-off product announced in a very unexpected booth...

[Hobbayne]

So whos going to Saturdays show so far? And whos up for the Sunday?
Bluejay's good at these sort of things.

[Silvia Bluejay]

LOL Paul, you're probably thinking of Shelley, not me, as being good with organising. I'm actually a bit crap at this...
Having said that, it's just a matter of compiling two lists of attendees, but I'd suggest we do that a little closer to the date, when more of us have bought tickets and made sure we know how to get there.

In the meantime, my impression is that, up until a few days ago, the Bass Show had been promoted on the back of the Saturday performances and masterclasses, while now they are finally releasing the names of the Sunday guests. They probably want us to impulse-buy that second ticket at the last moment, and pay the full price

I got a very advance ticket for the Saturday, as I wouldn't miss David Ellefson for anything in the world. I still don't know whether I'll choose to go on the Sunday as well.

[seashell]

No, I think Bluejay's the organiser round here , lol

But I'll put a list together at some point of Sat and Sunday attendees. Not today though, I'm a bit busy.

I still haven't decided which day(s) to attend myself. I think I'll probably do both, but don't want to commit myself just yet in case anything else crops up.

[Lozz196]

I`m going to try and make this one. Bought a ticket last year, and very unhelpfully got another bout of rubbish tonisilitis the very week it was on

So to make sure I can attend next years, I had my tonsils out

Just booked a train from South Wales ...cheap... £12.50 to Paddington and £33 back first class .... Thought I'd need a bigger seat with the gear I'll bring back :-D I'm staying at travelodge London fulham if anyone is staying there and fancies a beer. PM me :-) £32 for the night...... Bargain and more cash for bass goodies :-)

[TheGreek]

Ahhh...Xmas is out of the way and now people are looking at this as the next "big event".....

[WalMan]

Well as elsewhere, having put off & put off buying a ticket (galloping senility) my wonderful daughter in law came up trumps for Christmas with two tickets for Saturday, so see you there

[dalehernando]

Definitely will be attending this year. Missed it last year, so can't wait for it this year. The fact Peter Hook is doing the sunday has made me sure I'm going on sunday!

[ellie]

I won't be going this time. It is a fun couple of days if anyone get's the chance. I met up with Stu Hamm and had a good chat about all things bass. and did an exhibition slot for Status. Would be cool if BC got a stand or something though.

[Mr Fretbuzz]

Or meet in a pub nearby afterwards. :-)

[SpaceChick]

Won't be able to make it this year... My sisters due date for her second baby is the 1st March, and I'm on call to have my nephew.

[Mr Fretbuzz]

Shame but Congrats Deb

[MiltyG565]

Don't think i can make it either, unless the NHS speed me along in the next few weeks.

[Machines]

I missed last year due to not wanting to travel on my own

Anyone passing Brum on the M42 that wants a celebrity onboard give me a shout,
