EliasMooseblaster Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Buggers. This will be the second - possibly third - year that I'll be unable to go due to gig commitments. It's starting to make me wonder if the reason we get booked at that time of year is because every other band is out of action due to the absence of their bassist!

iamtheelvy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm making zero assumptions, but on checking out gigs I noticed that Bruce Foxton and JJ Burnell are in town that weekend with their respective bands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I get back from holiday late on the Friday night but have already bought my weekend ticket. I will be tired and jet lagged but don't want to miss this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm out. I have just been given notice that I may be made redundant in 30 days time. I need to save the pennies now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 [quote name='bassguitarshow' timestamp='1452089910' post='2946262'] So we have three AWESOME announcements to make in three days - this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. [/quote] Unfortunately, it won't be me owing to yet another geographic displacement. Maybe next year...maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefbaker Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Funnily enough that's around the time I'm thinking of buying my next bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm still hoping for some Jaco Film content this year! Perhaps getting Felix P over for some performance/masterclass (even without any Jaco Film content this would be a good idea!) Fingers crossed Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Oh Bum, why can't we have Dave Swift Sunday as well ? He is more relevant to what most of us do each week than all the others put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I guess I would need my wellies at the moment, Hope you BC'ers up there are all surviving this weather without too much grief, A lovely part of the world(on a nice day) been fishing up there many years ago without ill affect, But every time we have tried in the last few years there have been floods and landslides and had to turn back, even worse this year by the look. Must be a drought on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 A drought in my part of the world would be if it did not rain at some point during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I was discussing with an Irish Landlord of a local pub about going to visit the west coast of Ireland, but needed to know the best time of year to visit. He said it only rains twice a week - once for three days and then once for four days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I know the feeling. Been particularly bad this month, I am fortunate in that I live at the top of a hill so the water is passing by, the snow is a bit more of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So far the following guests have been announced for stage performances and masterclasses (in no particular order): Dave Swift Peter Hook Rhino of Status Quo Michael Manring Neil Fairclough And... see the new issue of BGM for the latest addition!
