BBC Introducing

[Dave Vader]

So we nipped in and recorded a bunch of songs and an interview last night, ready for broadcast Saturday Night 8-10 on BBC Radio Devon, for anyone who is down here and listens to it, and is able to do such a thing on a saturday night. I think it gets iPlayered as well.

Which it would have to really, what sort of music fan is sat at home listening to the radio on a saturday night? Not one with a wife and kids badgering him to watch the telly, and not a young single type who'd be out on the town either.

Anyway, I digress, here's a shot of us in the studio last night doing some songs. Was rather fun.



And doing the inevitable and always painful (remember not to say f***, remember not to say f***) interview.

Excellent! Nice one Dave.

[ezbass]

Great to see that yet another BCer is getting their low notes out there via a media outlet. Kudos.

[Horizontalste]

Good job, did you manage to do the whole interview without saying f***?

[Clarky]

Very f***ing cool Mr Vader

[Dave Vader]

Thanks all, I think I had to say flip, and duck a few times, but might have got away with it.

[discreet]

Evidence that bass players do indeed do it standing up...
...nice work, Dave.

[Skol303]

That's fantastic, well done Dave!

I'll try to dig it out on iPlayer after the show.

PS: I'm jealous of your upright! [size=2]...that sounds more rude than intended.[/size]

Exactly the right amount of rude i reckon. (and it was not expensive, no need for jealousy)

[Dave Vader]

and I have to do everything standing up now Mark, if I sit down i can't get back up again....

[mikebass84]

Nice one. My band recently did some BBC stuff. Loving the upright.

[Dave Vader]

It was on earlier, sounded better than I remember it being. Which is always nice.

[Dave Vader]

On iPlayer now, skip to about 52:30 for our session, there's a little gap in the middle where they play some other stuff, but once you've heard 3 of our tracks and some pointless blether from us, then you've heard it all.

Mr James Santer, nice lad. made me feel old.
I see you're playing with Lisa and her Kate tribute now sprocket, how's that going?

[sprocketflup]

yeah, its going great, they're a fun bunch of people. And the music....I wasn't a Kate Bush fan before but I am now, she's incredible. The basslines are a joy to behold, and a b*st*ard to play

[Dave Vader]

yep, you're not wrong. i really must get to one of your gigs soon.

[Norm]

Excellent work, fella! :-)

[fumps]
