THE Bass Relay Thread

[MiltyG565]

Well, I don't have time tonight. I'm just about to have a few more moans and sighs, then get off to sleep

[Silvia Bluejay]

Sleep tight

There is a thread that was created to be a photo journal of the the relay, that would be the best place to focus the images of its journey I would have thought .

Alright, geez, I'll do it tomorrow! ....

[lurksalot]

I thought you were off to bed an hour ago

I thought I would just remind everyone of the availability of a thread for the posting of pics before there are a dozen 'official' photo hosting opportunities

Eh, not a great success, fund raising wise. The total remains the same.

Where were you playing..? Scotland, huh..? Oh, I see...

[Donnyboy]

True but to be fair , given the audience barely reached double figures, they weren't asked.

[Dad3353]

...and to be fairer, it was simply for the joke. I don't really subscribe to these supposed national traits (except for the French, of course; they really are as they're made out to be..! ).

[Donnyboy]

Now that is a proper Dad joke! As for the Germans!!!!

Ah well. Don`t say I didn`t warn you Donny

[Donnyboy]

True ,again. It was good though.

Well, after its holiday in sunny Falkirk ( don't say ' ...isn't that THE place where the sun don't shine!' ... otherwise Donny will be after ye !) , Jim's bass is this week back on its way back to Derbyshire.

[MiltyG565]

Falkirk? I heard that...

... it's.. er... A lovely place

Ok so the bass is now on its way back in Derbyshire ! Looking for the next bass player to carry the batten in the Relay. Its really easy as a concept, you just pick up the bass, do a gig and have a whip round for Cancer Research and then pass the bass on to the next person. Its that easy!

Great that Quo's bass player Rhino Edwards got involved a week or so ago at Falkirk Stadium , he is apparently having words with Pino to get involved !!

I am doing my bit on Saturday at [url="http://www.haddonhall.co.uk/special-events/haddon-hall-proms-in-the-garden/"]Proms in the Garden[/url] event at Haddon Hall ( what a contrast to Falkirk ) and the bass is in Derbyshire ready for the next leg of the relay from 14th July onwards . Have got to say that I have really enjoyed meeting fellow bassists and sharing the experience - feels really great to be involved and be raising funds for such a great cause !

If everyone on Bass Chat chipped in just £1 ...that would make a lot of money ! Simple challenge :- click to a different thread now or click on the Just Giving link below and donate £1.

Theres a Map of Honour which tracks where the bass has been and its journey plus Facebook , and Twitter feeds ( see the links below). If nothing else help spread the good word !

Shared onto out Twitter page. It's going well! Good luck on Saturday, Peter Proms in the Garden, eh? Sounds lovely! Very different from a Status Quo gig or pub covers gig. Let us know how it goes

[ubassman]

Well, tis the eve before my gig , bass is really got a funky tone looking forward to playing it and raising some funds for Cancer Research UK ...question is who will be next in the Bass Chat Relay? !!

We had an inquiry over Facebook for the 27th july in Kent, I think it was. That was from Steve Clutton.

[Donnyboy]

It's going well,excellent!
for the record the sun is shining here in Falkirk,actually true.

just a thought but if the Relay threads were pinned would that help raise awareness / involvement?

[ubassman]

The BC bass relay has been on local radio over the passed couple of days and tonight's event at Haddon Hall Derbyshire is completely sold out - just got to rattle the tins tonight !
