Ah thats awsome. Sounds like it’ll b a wicked gig. But seriously, I would have expected no less, who else would be worthy of opening such an event if not the worlds best bass guitar player?
Mark and Pete, you’ll have a blast :-)
Lots a love

I agree with you 100% Sam :) .. sigh .. wish i could afford to travel more…just not in the cards for this year it seems … ! Wish i could have seen the Rewind festival on tv like our American Friends did . I shall have to make up for it by ordering some more stuff on paypal … :) .
Love always from the Canadian Rockies!!

Great, really looking forward to it BUT how on earth do I get tickets for the gig? On the Bass Show website it says to purchase tickets for entry to the Show, fair enough, then to contact the artist’s main sponsor for 1 of the 450 tickets to the gig within. I have contacted Ashdown, who say they are not responsible, and Oyster, the Show’s sponsors, haven’t replied to me. I need 2 tickets for the Saturday, any suggestions? It would be a great shame if I got into the Show but not see Mark and Pete.
All the best guys
