FinnDave Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Driving Sideways Simon? Just wondering if we might have played together sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 If thats his band now, i dunno. He used to be the Cadillacs bassist but from what he told me, Dave sacked him Last time i saw big Simon playing was at Witney Feast and he was in band with Mick the ( brilliant ) mouth harpist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I know Mark who used to be with the Mighty Cadillacs, he is also a member here but I'll let him join in if he wants to rather than naming him and forcing him in Driving Sideways is Mike Crisp's band, and he is a good blues harpist and singer, so probably the same band.

fleabag Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Cant remember the other Cads members, but yup, Mick Crisp is the mouth harp guy, so must be the same band that Simon is in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 There's every chance we have been there at the same time, I go at least every other month, had a bit of a break due to my bike accident, but played there 10 days ago. I'm a scruffy looking bugger with long dark hair and an untidy beard, bit like my avatar! Usually go there with Al, my band's guitarist, big guy, dark.

Telebass Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Howdy LD, your rig is like the first decent rig I played through in a night club in Swaziland in 1970! I've wanted one ever since, but only for home use - too heavy for me to cart around now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 FinnDave - i've just remembered the other Witney basser and think its Cacho - i'll see if i can find him as he may be up for a gathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yep, that's Mark, he was at Fat Lils a couple of weeks ago, we had a local bass players meet with Simon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cachao Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1460131014' post='3022954'] Yes, i was referring to the other Dave, mr Mighty Cadillacs and Nathan is pretty handy too, though a tad manic. I like him though, he's a good bloke Yup, jammed with them too, though i usually spank the drums if i feel like jamming [/quote] You are refering to Nathan "my feet hurt" Smith. I played with The Cads until about ten months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for the offer. I'm in Standlake, got a lift from Al, our guitarist, last time as he comes through here on the way from Swindon, and as you know, we usually go there together. He's up this way the Friday before that as we have a gig here in the village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hey welcome to BC. I'm from Witney too (live in York now) and in fact I started this very website (previously called bassworld) at Henry Box School (there will be a blue plaque on the gate one day!) We used to play a few places around Witney, Langdale Hall was good back in the day and Nortons was fun, too. Anyone remember 'The Pit' behind the Hollybush?

fleabag Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes ped, we played the The Pit when it was a venue. Once you had 10 people in there it was full up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you had 10 people in there it was full up [/quote] I wonder if you ever played with a band called Kudo? They were some metal outfit from my sixth form and I did 'guest bass' on one song so the bassist could jump around a bit. I remember the band being fascinated that I used more than one string to play the bassline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
