TRBboy Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well, I've booked a ticket for Saturday and looking forward to it, just need to figure out how best to get there now! 😂 I'd also best get practicing some low quality power slap for trying basses out. 😉👌 (joking, obvs) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guitar playing interest is piqued by Lari Basilio. I wonder whether Cody will also sit in with Eric Gales session, given that he toured with him last year...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorted gear wise and there’s no one on the Sunday that I’d like to see. May end up giving my ticket away Given that Joe Bonamassa has just declared Eric Gales is “BEST GUITARIST IN BLUES-ROCK RIGHT NOW”, I am planning to go and see him on Sunday. He brought the house down at Nell's a couple of months ago... amazing show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chownybass Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Tony Butler will be joining us on Sunday 22nd at the Chowny stand at the UK Guitar Show at 11:00 for a meet and greet if you're a Big Country or Tony Butler fan. Then at 13:15-14:00 he will be doing a talk in the Tone Zone where he will talk about his new signature bass among other subjects (interviewed by Joel McIver from Bass Guitar Magazine) Please come and say Hi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 That bass looks tasty. I’m only at the show on Saturday, so I won’t get to meet Tony, but if they have one of those on the stand, I’ll see if my attempt to play Flame Of The West sounds any better than usual!

MM Stingray 62 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Anybody need a ticket for the Sunday ? i have a weekend ticket but can't make the Sunday so if anyone wants to meet up they can have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I have a ticket but don't know if I can be arsed. British Rail want me to take a bus for half the 2 1/2 hour journey, and it doesn't look as good as last year when Scott wheeled in loadsa stars like Henrik Linder and Rich Brown. Try as I might I can't see much more than Cody and John Pattitucci, who is obv a god but is he worth 2 1/2 hours on a BR bus? Think I'll just chuck the ticket unless someone can persuade me I've turned over two pages at once on the programme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnt Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Got an email from the organisers that included mention of an after-show gig on Saturday evening at a pub called the Lexington, also in Islington. I don't know, I might go and see Shakespeare's As You Like It at the Globe while I'm in town ... 🧐 Also - if you can get to Angel tube station on the Northern line, it's 5 minutes walk up Islington High St. to the Business Design Centre. Most folks should not need to take a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
