Happy Jack Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 As of now, I've been asked to play on NYE by eight different venues and with three different bands. This might make sense if I was God's gift to bass playing, but as it happens ... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 That's what the guys dressed in white have been saying while they were trying to put me that shirt attached in the back. Never read it ? Still time, you know ! Hush, the men in white are coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I've got a NYE gig this year at the Cheese & Grain in Frome, with the ska band, supporting an Abba trib. Something tells me it's going to be a brilliant night. Can. Not. Wait. *jumps up and down like excited 5 year old* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'm jealous because I can't play because of my poxy job. We used to always play at Christmas and New Year. I miss it like hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'm doing NYE this year too having avoided it twice even before lockdown. It'll be 3x45 min sets in a local WMC but the money's not bad when only split 3 ways and minimal travel for me so I've agreed to do it. We are going to have to resurrect some real old crowd pleasing sh1te to make the sets up but needs must on nights like NYE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I’ve got a gig on NYE at a seaside hotel. Playing with my guitarist mate and another friend on keys, backing a singer and doing some stuff on our own too. There’s a DJ on so will take the heat out of having to play too many sets which these sort of gigs can descend into! Money not amazing but am just glad to be out TBH, especially after last year being the first I didn’t gig in maybe 35 years! The hotel has a stage which prevents having to be too near the punters which helped my decision as well. Just wondering now if I’m going to fit into my dinner suit, it’s been a while.....🤵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashell2 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I've been invited to a NYE jam at a small, local venue. All a bit secret squirrel - shutters will be down and external lights off to discourage whizzed up passers by. Knock 3 times and ask for Tom. Could be interesting!

dand666 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I depped mine out. Was not that much more than a standard wedding fee and I weren't planning on getting back till like 4am. Sod that. Maybe a year off for me this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Turned down christmas and new years eve gigs as our drummist and one of our guitarists are away. Inconsiderate bar stewards. Last gig is 11th December then next well into January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 No one asks me to play on NYE. Except maybe my girlfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
