Good luck Geoff! I used to get lessons with Geoff when he lived in Leeds and you couldn't wish to meet a nicer guy. He is a great teacher and a fantastic player on both the electric and double bass.

Thanks everyone for your support. I'm pretty nervous, but I've been working for this for the last two years so am really looking forward to it.

It's my final recital for my PGdip course in classical double bass. I'm playing,

honegger prelude
lennox berkeley introduction and allegro
sperger sonata
pizzolla kicho
proto sonata

it's at 11.50am today in the lord Rhodes room in the RNCM Manchester. All welcome, no tickets needed.
Thanks again guys :-)

Hi guys, I'm pleased to report that it went well. The usual odd mistakes but I got through it all and managed to relax and enjoy the performance.

Thanks again for all the support :-)

Yes Geoff, how about the Paul Bryant?

The Paul Bryant bass is amazing. Really great sound. I had belcantos on for the recital and in a great room the bass sounded amazing. I would really recommend them to anyone. They are amazing value for money and Paul is a great guy to deal with.
Im looking forward to getting it set up for jazz although the pizz sound with the belcantos is great im sure it will be even better with a nice hybrid string like the Evah's. When im next recording i will post some clips.
Cheers Geoff
