icastle Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 [quote name='Gazm' timestamp='1363024844' post='2007177'] icastle I bet you know the infamous Tommo the drummer then? [/quote] Possibly - is he the guy that always drums in bare feet? Apart from a couple of gigs in the Queens Head (the other pub in the village) and the main 'slot' at Heather Music Festival a while back, I don't really play that locally. Quote
Gazm Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Not sure about the bare feet, he's a great drummer from Ibstock way & is renowned for his substance experimentation Quote
rushbo Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Mummy I'm scared. Heather sounds frightening. I might just put the BassBaton in a taxi and rock gently back and forth in my 'special room' until Sunday. Quote

Jimryan Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 I think the only thing I can say in regards to this gig Ian...is good luck, whether it be the natives, the pub or a toilet related incident...good luck :-p Quote

icastle Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 And just remember... A silent audience is okay... as long as they're not moving towards you... Quote

A silent audience is okay... as long as they're not moving towards you... [/quote] Amen to that. We played a Biker gig in West Brom on Saturday. Decent sized crowd, nice room...all the good stuff. We did two sets - 32 songs. I'd estimate that there was silence between the first 20, polite applause for the next 6 and the remainder were cheered as if we were The Who. This may have had something to do with Beer. At the end of the night there was a queue of people wanting to say hi, shake hands and tell us how we rocked. This was all very lovely, but a little indication whilst we were actually rocking would have been nice! Still...nice folks (if a little quiet) and we're going back in June. And at least now I know what to expect! Oh yeah...BassBaton anyone? Quote
steve-bbb Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 if its anywhere near Kent at end of march i have a gig on 30th and i believe that several other splendid kent basschatters will be along to point and laugh at my lousy playing after which i will pass the baton over to one of them Quote
rushbo Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Hearbreaker - Heather 16 03 13 Please let me know if you're stepping up for the BassBaton as space is at a premium in the wagon. If noone throws their hat in the ring, it'll stay at home... Edited March 15, 2013 by rushbo Quote
rushbo Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Well, I survived Heather - mainly due to the rather scrummy Pie and Chips I scoffed between sets. (Note to self...NEVER eat a big meal in a 10 minute break between sets...) Apart from completely pooching 'My Brother Jake', we played well and I got home intact. If slightly bloated. My next gig is April 12 (The Roadhouse, Birmingham) so if anyone can use it before then, please get in touch for a handover. I'd hate to think people have forgotten about this.... Rushbo x Quote
Jimryan Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 I'm sure someone will step up. There's a big enough interest. Glad you survived :-p Quote
icastle Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 [quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1363561221' post='2014222'] Glad you survived :-p [/quote] He obviously took my advice about the toilets... Quote
