Basschat at the London Bass Guitar Show 2013 - a photoblog

[Silvia Bluejay]

As some of you may have guessed, we are having no end of problems posting my blog on Basschat's system: no matter what we try, it never seems to work. So, while we wait to see if, in the end, we'll be able to add it to Basschat's entries under the Blog tab, feel free to have a look at it here - before we move on, forget the LBGS even happened, and the blog becomes obsolete.
The blog basically gathers together most of the photos I've scattered round here and on FB, and adds a few, together with some names.

The layout is deliberately very basic and no-frills (I kept it simple with a view of converting it to Basschat's layout). You can click on photos to enlarge them.

I hope the blog can stay on this site in some guise, to help us remember that awesome weekend

Brilliant post. Nice work

[Silvia Bluejay]

Thanks! It was immense fun. I really hope we can do the same, or something even better, next year

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Did you find out who stole the fenders?

[Silvia Bluejay]

LOL no, but you can be sure of one thing - it wasn't me. Those luscious German-made Warwicks or the Ortega acoustic lefty, on the other hand...

Nice blog, Sylvia.
Looking closley at that pic of you with David Ellefson....do you think he has the beginnings of a combover going on there?
Aaargh! :-0

[Silvia Bluejay]

Haha! We-e-e-lll.... I don't want to know! He'll always be a metal god no matter what

Thank you, gives a sense of what was what for those of a long way away from the big city.

[Silvia Bluejay]

My pleasure, 3below.

Incidentally, the photo below may raise a smile in those of you who, like me, are addicted to attending music shows. I've been so for nearly 20 years and I've got the evidence!

[Lozz196]

Nice one Sylvia, was a very good day, and what you`ve done there captures it nicely.

[Silvia Bluejay]

Thanks knowing myself, it was probably lucky that I didn't have too much time to spend taking photos, or I would have ended up boring you all to death with a 400-picture album...

Yeah you need to keep the tickets and flyers, to jog the memory in your old age. I have a flyer from a 1980 weekender 'Futurama' festival in Leeds with 35 bands on it and i can only recal watching one of them, even though Im sure I must have saw [i]at least [/i]20.

[gary mac]

Thanks Bluejay, great blogging

[Silvia Bluejay]

Daz - LOL, I'm sure you're not the only one in that predicament So far I'm glad to say I do tend to remember bands and events after I've seen/been at them, but you never know what will happen as time goes by

Gary - thank you, and all others who enjoyed the blog. I'm hoping to tempt even more Basschatters to turn up at the show next year and make it another memorable BC Day

Bluejay
I was at the show but a bit shy so never introduced myself ha ha however I do take my hat off to all the time and effort you have put into promoting the show and keeping people unable to attend well informed
well done you

[Silvia Bluejay]

Aw, you should have said hi! It was a totally friendly gathering of bass-mad BCers Please do join us next year (I am so going to do this all over again if they allow me to! )

Two basschatters missing?

No little piccy of ACG & me, boo-hoo!!

[Silvia Bluejay]

Heh, the stands and artists who proved too popular - i.e. were obscured by adoring crowds when I was trying to take a pic - didn't make it in the final selection because all that appeared in my photos was a series of people's backs...!

Victim of your own success John!

[Silvia Bluejay]

LOL, apologies for that... I didn't have as much time to go back to take photos of some stands as I thought I would. Then again, as I mentioned before, that probably saved you guys from having to wade through a blog containing my usual million photos

[discreet]

Nice pics! Thanks very much.

[mep]

Enyoyed the blog. Well done for getting it together.
