Trsut me, the two statements above don't compute

[Kirky]

Not me. Tucked up in bed with a red wine and a Nabokov (not that one) avoiding X Factor and Big Brother.

[Marky L]

I don't think it was me. I'm very confused though!


Ah no, def not me. Embarrassing evidence available to prove I was elsewhere. (Which will not be made available!)

[wateroftyne]

Hang on, folks - I think I've cracked it!

My sister's mate knows a bass player who lives in Gloucester, which is only 40 miles away or so.

It MUST be him. I'll try and get in touch with him to confirm.

Ok just to clarify, I didn't see the band as they were in a marquee out the back of the hotel and i couldn't leave the room due to child sitting duties, so i don't know if there were 2 female singers although there was no banter between songs so i doubt it. I also cant confirm if the bassist was wearing a red beret. I was however wearing a lovely ensemble of green cargo shorts and a white O Neill T shirt sipping tea on the patio whilst perusing the John Entwistle Bass Collection book and the illustrated guide to the Fender Bass.

So, I popped into the Mill and Old Swan, Minster Lovell last night to ask. When I said I was trying to find out who the band was that had been playing for the Wedding on the Saturday, the whole room went deathly silent. The barman didn't know where to look, but an old local turned fiercely towards me from the far corner; "Band, you say? For a wedding, was it?"
"Err, yes, ermm female singer - pretty good apparently" I said. As I mentioned the singer there was an audible intake of breath from the drinkers, who all turned to watch the old man, anxiously. "Easy, Ted." one of them said. But the old man just stared at me for a moment, and then said, quite calmly. "Well, you must be mistaken, cos there ain't been no bands for no weddings here, not this fifty year. Not since that...terrible night..." he tailed off, staring into the distance.
"I think you should go" the barman said. So I left.

Hope that clears it up for you.

I had "Weekend Detention" so that rules me out, and besides I cant play,...tastily or otherwise. !!

Hi Dave. Maybe if you gave us an idea of stuff on the setlist, it might help narrow it down, especially if it's unusual. Obviously, "Mustang Sally" ain't gonna help -- but if they did a medley of "Iron Man" running into "Teen Town" segueing into the Spice Girls' "Wannabe", well... that's pretty specific.

[BottomEndian]

Oh, definitely not me, by the way. I may be tasty, but my playing ain't.

Motown Chartbusters Vol 2. Jamerson on bass duties. Explains the tight playing?

[raptor]

Carole Kaye, surely......

[WalMan]

Nope not me. Still recovering from the previous nights hangover

[paul h]

Was it actually 15 years ago, not a wedding and in West Brom?

No?

Wasn't me then.

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I've just remembered what I was doing on Saturday night. I was experimenting to find the perfect proportions of Gin / Tonic / Ice / lime Wedges to make the best G&T. I finally got it right after the fifth or sixth pint but forgot to write it down

was it you?!

[raptor]

Or was it one of us from a different alternate reality and someone crossed the streams with jean luc pickguards thunderbird bass
and someone crossed over from the other side !!

And then they caused a chain reaction (Like Diana Ross did), so that all bass players will have their music ability wiped from their brains! and subsequently become singers !

Did they play stonehenge that night or Jazz odyssey ???

[Faithless]

Well. I was actually playing a wedding, but, the place you've mentioned doesn't sound familiar - I've been somewhere in the middle of forests in Vilnius region, Lithuania it is
