Jimryan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Afternoon all, The first date of the relay has been confimer/announced. I'll be kicking the Relay off on Saturday 16th February. I'm performing at "The Jolly Sailor" in Portsmouth that night, with my funk/soul function band "Mr. Big Stuff". If anyone can make it, come on down, have some fun, have a dance and let the relay commence. Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimryan Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 the relay now has a FB page which I urge all BC FBers to join/like/whatever it is the kids say these days. www.facebook.com/bcbassrelay will be a good/easy way to upload pictures and keep track of the bass relay too.

mr zed Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Wouldn't it be great if the bass could find its way up to the London Bass Show and be used by some of the performers there? Don't know how/if this could be organised but the publicity would be good amongst the wider bass playing community. Just a thought. Any of the organisers/exhibitors on here?

Jimryan Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 If no one down here wants it in time and I end up going, I was going to take to the show with that very intention :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to convince the headlining acts bassist to take it on too, but haven't heard back from him yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Their band is called Dead Horizon. That I can see, the bassist isn't here on BC, but you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
