But I have to ask, did you drop any bollox at all ? [/quote] Nope - somehow I got away with it! Even when I was reading from my cobbled-together cheat sheet (see earlier post) it was one of those gigs where the planets aligned. The four solid days of rehearsal paid off, I think. The incredible on-stage sound helped, too. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1375169319' post='2157380'] That Joe McElderry laddy can't half belt out a tune. Great voice. [/quote] Can't he? I've done a couple of things with him now, and he's been fantastic every time. He deserves to do well. Quote
wateroftyne Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 *THE THREAD FROM THE DEAD* Happy days... I've just found out I'm playing with Mr. Knopfler again, at a gig to celebrate the millionth entrant into the Great North Run in September. This time it's going to be live on BBC2. Yay Quote

aidanhallbass Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I've just stumbled on this thread and read it through.. What a truly amazing opportunity - or even two opportunities you've had! Well done!! It's got me inspired to push my dep work harder to try and develop some opportunities. Nothing of this league though, thats just stuff of dreams! ;-) Quote
wateroftyne Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 Ah, I thought I'd posted this already, but apparently not. There's been a change of plan for the September show, and he's bringing his UK-based band up instead. I'm gutted, but given the lack of a rehearsal and soundcheck I totally understand. Hopefully I'll have another opportunity further down the line. Quote
