Hi Dan, Looking forward to seeing you at Southport Jazz Festival again this year.Probably in the art gallery on Saturday afternoon. It will be a great birthday treat for me to hear you play.
Hi Dan thanks for that, good photos eh! Yeah giving him a call this weekend mate, just had a hectic week with work and all. Looking for a fretless bass this week, I wanna change my sound.
Hi Dan, Thanks so much for the sweet words & comments!! I'm pleased u like the new stuff. that's really cool!! wonderful news!! Wicked photo! Peace, Miss Ann**
I know!! I generally do the Cork Jazz Fest, and it ALWAYS rains. Well, kind of drizzles, really, and gets into your bones...Oh, enough moaning about the weather. We sound like two old ladies at a coffee morning. Mancunian? I thought Fleetwoodonian/Fleetwoodish, whatever. Actually I was born in Manchester too and grew up around that area. 'Ey up chuck.
Rochdale... Haven't been there in years though. Sunnier climes? Not lately. We are still waiting for the sun to show its face properly after what seemed like a promising start to spring (sunbathing at end of feb)...oh well. Mustn't complain. x
