Kebabkid Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Gary get's my vote! Now, there's the story about the Trace Elliott, the midget and the root vegetable! Edited October 2, 2017 by Kebabkid Quote
NancyJohnson Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1506756061' post='3380853'] With your background in Rock and fair collection of basses it would have been nice to hear you give a talk even if it was just on the tribute side of the music. You must have some great stories of gigs too. You've played a few first class one Gary. Dave [/quote] Years ago, I used to help out in my mate's CD store in Bracknell; there was a guy there who regaled me about his past gigging experience (he was a great singer) and one time tells me a story about a Kiss pinball machine. Years later (many years later), I hear Gary telling the same story. Cogs turn in my head. It was a surreal moment that both Gary and my mate Mikey were both in the same place at the same time sharing the same experience. Quote

Hamster Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Well, the SEBB was a financial success and as usual we made a profit that has been distributed to good causes as follows: [url="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/"]http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/[/url] - Specifically for breast cancer [url="http://prostatecanceruk.org/"]http://prostatecanceruk.org/[/url] - For those gentleman's nether regions http://www.4sight.org.uk/ - Supporting people with sight loss http://www.shootingstarchase.org.uk/ - A local children's hospice I am hopeful that we can arrange next year's SEBB at the same location around late September! I've already had a planning meeting, well it was actually an excuse to go to the pub, about what contacts we can approach to make a guest appearance at next years SEBB. The short list is impressive! Don't do anything stupid and book any gigs/weddings/proposals/bar/bat mitzvahs for the last two weekends in September 2018 - exact date to be announced as soon as I get confirmation. Keep it deep Colin Quote
