I've not been on BC for a while, but just thought I'd hake a look at this thread and I don't know what's happened, it's all gone a bit cockle-eyed!

 

I'm still hoping to come, but won't know for certain till much nearer the time, would be good to reconnect with the community a bit. 🙏

No problem, you can just turn up and pay on the day. Hope to see you then!

So, what if I told you that my gig on October 7th has been cancelled...

I would offer you the spare bed I said you could have next year, but we're out the night before the bash... d'oh

Top man! You get the long distance prize, unless @Kiwi puts in an appearance...

Updated list as at 08/08/2023.

 

The gear lineup is starting to look properly awesome!

Thats a bit ominous!

[Dazed]

Just found this, I’m not too far over the bridge in welshland so I might try and attend. 

[Rich]

You'll be most welcome if you can. Shall I add you to the list as a 'tbc'?

 

[Dazed]

Yes please do Rich. Having a think about what to bring along. I’m meant to be having a major cull, this could be a good excuse to put that off a while longer 😄

How nice after a week away (from home and e-mails) to see that interest in 'the One Bash that rules them all' has reached Scotland (as it happens, I'm just back from my daughter's in Dunfermline).

 

Definitely worth the trip down from Aberdeen 🙂

[neepheid]

Well, that's my hotel/bass storage room booked for the night before.  Things just got real!

 

Any word on entrance fee yet?

That's brilliant! Entrance is £13, which includes your food and tea/coffee throughout the day.

 

If you want to avoid the usual hotel breakfast rip-off, come early to help us set up (and take your pick from the display tables) and you'll get fed on arrival*. See first post on this topic for venue details.

 

*Same applies to others of course!  A few extra pairs of hands at set-up time are always useful 🙂

I've got a ska gig the previous night, but I'm going to get to you as early as I can.

That sounds better than my usual way around the usual hotel breakfast rip-off - coffee for breakfast...

 

Can you take payment in advance in some way?  If you prefer cash on the day, no worries, I'm sure I can find some between now and then.

Poor, misunderstood Les Paul bass  

 

It was roundly scoffed at the first time I took it to the Moffat bash.  That soon stopped when people played it.

@neepheid I'd be very keen to try your Les Paul bass!

No that’s fine, I think they look good actually, just wanted to make sure you weren’t lowering the tone (heh!) by bringing one of those weedy six string toy things

Well that's fighting talk!

 

@petecarlton, we need to sort out the date for the next Midlands Bash, and then commence the Five Year Plan for BassBash Domination.

[Geek99]

Can we have it in enderby again?
