Silvia Bluejay Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 We need to start lobbying them... I'm sure there will be cool guests this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 You don't get if you don't ask.... so I've just emailed BIlly Sheehan and John Taylor and asked them if they'd consider doing a clinic at the next show. Who knows if they'll see the message and reply. Worth an ask though eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well done. I'm sure it would also depend on them hooking up with their endorsers and sponsors, though, as is always the case for shows like this. But I hope you get somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yeah absolutley, I seem to remember Peavey & Yamaha making appearances in the past so it could be doable with a bit of luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalehernando Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I would love to see Chris Wolstenholme and Dom Howard there. There is always a section in Muse sets where they do a few little bass and drum tracks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tA6M-Dnizk Would love to see that!

Clarky72 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Holy sh*t.... I got a reply from Billy Sheehan saying he would like to be at the show. Does anyone know anyone involved in organising that I can pass this email on to??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1376505721' post='2175188'] Holy sh*t.... I got a reply from Billy Sheehan saying he would like to be at the show. Does anyone know anyone involved in organising that I can pass this email on to??? [/quote] Yay!! I imagine, in the first instance, that you could simply ask them exactly who you should contact, through their website, here: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/contact-us/"]http://www.londonbas...com/contact-us/[/url] Plenty of time, since it would not be for 2014 anyway. If you draw a blank, another possible solution could be for me to have a word with Lars Mullen, the journalist/PR who is helping us immensely with publicity and rockstars contacts for the BC Bass Relay. He seems to work a lot with Blaze Publishing (sponsors of the show, as well as publisher of Bass Guitar Mag and others), so he might be willing and able to help. But before we pester him, I'd try the website. Edit: come to think of it, it might even work for 2014 if we're lucky. Worth a try.

Clarky72 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have mailed them at the Contact page on the website already, that was my first thought too... Lars could be a good contact if I get no joy from the website, do you have his details? Billy said the 2014 show would work for him which is great news, I'm sure there's capacity to squeeze a man of his calibre in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I do have Lars' details, yes but he's a very busy man, dealing with the stars themselves as well as the press, while this is possibly a matter for the organisers of the show and Billy's endorsers, as opposed to the press or Billy himself. Perhaps we should explore all other avenues first. If Billy is replying to your messages, perhaps you could ask him how we could go about helping this happen?

seashell Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Oh dear, another diary clash has arisen. I've got the opportunity to go on a girlie holiday to Tenerife, 1-8 March. Well I'm not going to turn that down, even though it does clash with LBGS. So I shall have to bow out of this I'm afraid. Seems ages since I saw you London guys. May have to wait until the SE Bash 2014 now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 LOL I would still prefer Tenerife Go on the hol and have a great time, Shell - we'll organise a weekend London meetup at some point, for those who have to miss the "official" gatherings.

Silvia Bluejay Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Last few days left to buy the whole weekend ticket at £32.56, if you are so inclined. I've got mine and will be there, wearing my BC lanyard, hopefully (wo)manning a BC corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootmaster Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Bought my ticket last night. For both days. Met some lovely people at the last one (including bluejay) and looking forward to 2014! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
