acidbass Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Nice one, not particularly a fan myself but it seems a shame to miss a name bass player when he's just 10 mins down the road from me! Cheers for the heads up Quote

fatback Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Some more info on the Sligo date. [url="http://www.sligojazz.ie/manring.htm"]http://www.sligojazz.ie/manring.htm[/url] It's a daytime thing on a Friday though, so that's me out. fatback Quote
Russ Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Sligo's a bit out of the way, isn't it? You'd think he'd do a gig in Dublin or Cork or something. Very pretty bit of the country though. Quote
Tradfusion Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Luckily I'm from Sligo!!!!! For once I dont have to travel for 3 hrs to see a gig...Happy Days... Quote
fatgoogle Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Of for f***s sake hes all the way over the other side of the country, one of the only virtuoso players i would go and see and hes all the way over the wrong bloody side and too high up. Grrrrr Quote
acidbass Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 OT - but who'd be up for an Irish Bass Bash sometime, perhaps in the New Year? Quote
fatgoogle Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I would be, but it seems it might be a touch small, but that makes it all the merrier. Quote
acidbass Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 You'd be surprised, fatgoogle - there are a lot of lurkers around here from Northern Ireland that I know of, and I'd say the same for people from the South! Watch this space Quote
Gareth Hughes Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Aye, fer a bit o'craic - I'd be up for that. Quote

blamelouis Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 I'll be at the Ards do but sligos out ...pity Bass bash sounds good Quote
Tradfusion Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Tobergal Lane is a nice wee venue, very intimate so it will be well worth a visit for any Mannring fans...I'm local for this one which is great. No bassists from south of the border adding their names to a possible bass bash next year, so let me be the first!!! Quote
