Wow, thanks for that.

[Thunderbird]

Bum would be right up my alley but sadly I can't get there

Would love to see that - don't suppose there's any chance that Neil could take the masterclass sessions on the road sometime and pass by West Yorkshire??

I will be there, the pub is at the end of my road.

[RhysP]

This would be worth seeing.

Sounds good. Neil is a good lad and it sounds like an entertaining evening. I'd love to go.

To far away but Neil is one of my favourite Bassists would of loved to have gone

[drTStingray]

Did anyone from here go to this?

I would have loved to - Neil Murray is one of my favourite bass players since I first heard/saw him in National Health in the 70s. Last saw him in the We Will Rock You musical and he was great in that as well.

He also had the rather challenging role of dep'ing for Jeff Berlin with Bill Bruford's band...

Funnily enough, I bought a Cort Rithimic from Neil, which is Jeff Berlin's signature model. I didn't realise Neil had played with the Bruford band!

Is that Ronald McDonald on keys before he adopted the clown makeup?*

If I lived a bit closer I'd probably have gone along to this as its a freebie. I'm not much of one for demos and stuff but Neil comes across as a really nice bloke.

*Yes, I know its Dave Stewart really.

A great night. Neil talked a lot about his career and approach to bass and did a bit of playing. Pretty special to see him play his celebrated line from Fool For Your Loving, close up. Surprise revelation: Coverdale loves Weather Report!

Why do I always find out about cool things after they've happened? Not that I would have been able to get there on a school night mind...

I hope there will be more, and in other parts of the UK
