Bass Day UK: 20 November 2005

If you’re into Bass, you’ll need to show your face!

International artists from the bass playing world will descend upon the Life Café in Manchester on Sunday 20th November for a full day of low-down bass madness.

This new exciting entry in the bass world has been designed to provide an all-day national event created by bassists for bassists. Bass Day UK will provide a great opportunity for bassists to come together and develop a community networking forum on a national, European and worldwide basis.

 

World-class artists performing and on-hand for chats on technique and bass subjects will include: Joe Zawinul’s bassist Linley Marthe; New York’s Janek Gwizdala with drummer Gary Husband; Italian bass giant Lorenzo Feliciati; Jon Reshard & Trip Wamsley from the US; Jan-Olof Strandberg from Finland; Californian solo bass singer-songwriter John Lester together with some of our own lads from Blighty – solo bassist Steve Lawson, hailed as ‘one of the most influential bassists in the world’ and Manchester’s very own jubilant spirit and leading bassist Stevie Williams with Iain Dixon on saxophone.

All ticket holders will be entered into a fantastic prize draw on the day to win a Carlsbro bass amp and Oldfield fusion fretless bass worth £610 courtesy of Dawsons Music and a three month full-time Bass Course worth £1795 at Guitar-X.

Plus, special Bass Day UK discount available on all Elites Bass strings!
