Roger2611 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We have just been offered a support slot for Mark Morris (he of Bluetones fame) this Friday in Leicester, I am really excited as the song "If" by the Bluetones has to be one of my all time favourite basslines I'm all excited now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Nice one, it`s great when you get to play on the same bill as your faves. Have been lucky enough to be on the same show as Bruce Foxton - From The Jam - and later on this year will no doubt be a quivering wreck when on the same bill as JJ Burnell - The Stranglers. Two of the main reasons for me picking up the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a support slot in The Donkey in Leicester last Saturday for a headliner called Marc O'Reilly. Hadn't heard of him before but honestly it was stunning music. Turned into an amazing night out.

steantval Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Got to play support to Wishbone Ash a few years ago, my heroes from the early 70's. I took along my Pilgrimage album from 1971 with me, had a chat with Andy Powell (nice guy) and he signed it for me. The poster for the gig has pride of place in a frame in my music room.

Guest bassman7755 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've played support to the wurzels but then so has pretty much every other function band in the west country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Mark Morris - there's a blast from the past. I supported hm in 2009 - can't remember anything about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 It turned out to be a frapping acoustic set...so no bass player...gutted....but I have to say, seldom have I been more impressed with an acoustic set.....the man has genuine talent. I understand the Bluetones are touring later this year, if they play anywhere locally I will be attending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
