For anyone suffering from extreme gig withdrawal symptoms...

Dear BC'ers,

I've been offered an afternoon dep gig (outdoors) on 19th Sept which I can't do.

Don't get overexcited, it's for charity (ie no fee) and is at a retirement village in Aldershot.

Music is 40's/50's.  The 40's stuff is mostly standards with walking bass lines, 50's is mostly period RnR.

PM me if you're interested, I've told the BL I would try and find someone to cover this.

Please only PM if you're sure you can confidently play this sort of thing straight off - there won't be any rehearsals !

You will certainly get the set list with keys well beforehand though.

Ta, stay safe.

It's not a paying gig but think of the exposure you will get!

 

Thats great, it just so happens that my rent is paid for in exposures!

The bar is definitely lowering. I played a local socially distanced garden party on Saturday (paid) and I was as excited to do it as I was exactly one year previously being flown out with my bass to play a festival in Norway. Upon reflection Norway was definitely better but I was grateful just to be playing again.

Probably worth getting a job then eh?
