lowdowner Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Will it be his rocky stuff or some of his more recent 'folky' stuff? I've covered some of the later stuff ('Kill to Get Crimson' album tracks) and there are some really solid bass lines to those. His work has definitely changed, and stayed just as high quality, since the DS days. Great stuff Quote
tonybassplayer Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Also just prompted me about the film Local Hero, absolutely love the simplicity of the film and the perfect sound track. Of to visit another thread now. Quote
mr zed Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 WOT a fantastic opportunity. Have a brilliant gig. I'd take both bergs! Quote
Raggy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Well done Michael, looking forward to hearing about it. Quote
ezbass Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1359081042' post='1949710'] I'm using my own, so... Walkabout and probably a single HS210. [/quote]But which bass? Quote
xilddx Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Brilliant Michael! Enjoy every minute, what a wonderful thing to do! I hope you get more work from it too. All the best. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Excellent! Well done fella! Good Luck! Quote
Dingus Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Congratulations ! A great thing to have on your C.V for future gigs too . Enjoy it . Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Cheers, folks! [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1359130804' post='1950417'] But which bass? [/quote] Well, that's just it. P, Roscoe Beck or J? In my mind I can argue a decent case for each of 'em. I'll probably toss a coin. Quote
Adrenochrome Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Sounds like a fantastic opportunity mate Quote
Dr.Dave Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) [quote name='fumps' timestamp='1352730288' post='1866606'] ooo which pub ? [/quote] several months late with the answer but it was the Tap and Spile in Pontefract , opp. the bus station. He was playing with his mate , Brendan Croker , at an event in Ponte park. and I was doing the same event. Might have been one of the organiser types took us all for a beer. I can't remember for sure but I don't think Mark had a beer - I thik he had a fruit juice of some kind. Wise man. He's third on a list of 'Famous blokes I sort of had a pint with'. The other 2 being Steve Harris who bought me a Guiness in the White Horse in Wakey and Joe Elliot who nicked all my cans out of my dressing room at the Black-a-moor head in Ponte and fcuked off !

wateroftyne Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 The gig's on Monday... We started rehearsing on Friday, the first of three full days in the rehearsal space. Yesterday was just us, i.e. the core band. Today was the band and the lady backing singers (who are amazing - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx5YpUIPQwg"]see what I mean?[/url]). Peter Brewis of Field Music come along to rehearse his bit, too. Nice lad. Tomorrow is another intense all-dayer, with visits from Joe McElderry, Ruby Turner and Ben Ottewell out of Gomez who are all doing a song each. We're not hooking up with MK or the orchestra until Monday's all-day pre-gig rehearsal at the venue, but we've got those tunes ready to go anyway. It's an eclectic mix of tunes and styles, it's fab fun, the band are all great lads, and I can't wait. It's bloody tiring, though...! [url="http://www.safeconcerts.com/news/2013/feb/8170-more-acts-announced-for-sir-bobby-robson-a-celebration.asp"]Here's a more recent story about the gig[/url]. Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I've just stood in a room with Ruby Turner singing at full pelt. Sweet Jesus and the orphans... unbelievable. All done. Tomorrow's the day. 8am line check, anyone? :-( Quote
discreet Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Good luck for tomorrow WoT, though I'm quite sure you won't need it. Quote
xgsjx Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 All the best for tomorrow. Oh, did you manage to learn all of "love don't live here anymore"? Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1361126084' post='1981474'] All the best for tomorrow. Oh, did you manage to learn all of "love don't live here anymore"? [/quote] Ha ha - it's a Nail-free zone... Quote
xilddx Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 What a buzz! Looking forward to your Tuesday report once the epic hangover has calmed down Very best of luck, Michael! Quote
xgsjx Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1361126193' post='1981477'] Ha ha - it's a Nail-free zone... [/quote] You know, now you've said that, 1/2 way through the set MK is going to say "I'd like to introduce my old friend...". Quote
BassTractor Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Best of luck! ... even if I myself could've done it better - without any rehearsing - had I only had the talent and put in the hours for many decades. best, bert Quote
