Any Bass Players Out There?????

So, the worst kept secret is out – Gethin has shaved all his hair off! Well, that’s not really the big news, but it is certainly news-worthy. Let us know what you think at the upcoming gigs.

The ‘big’ news is this. As many of you probably already know, Ben, our dependable, reliable and downright perfect bass player for the last 2 and a half years is off to the United States, to study – not just to eat loads and watch copious amounts of football, although that will no doubt happen in the first year at least.

He leaves us at the end of July, and we’re very close to confirming his ‘farewell’ show – which will hopefully be at our album launch venue, Jagz in Ascot on Friday 29th July. We will obviously provide all details once this is 100% sorted, but it would be great to fill the place, so note the date!

This however obviously leaves us with a big gap to fill, and that isn’t a jibe I promise! We are now actively looking for a new bass player – the plan being the new recruit coming in to the set-up sometime before Ben goes, with the view to taking over from him when we commence gigging towards the end of this year.

Please, if you are a bass player yourself and fancy life as part of the infamous ATC, or you know of anyone that may be interested – do get in touch – info@allthingsconsidered.org.uk is the e-mail address to contact, or there is always through our Facebook page www.facebook.com/allthingsconsidered. The more people who know we are looking, the more chance we have of finding the right replacement, so it’s all hands on deck – that alright? Thanks!

Few gigs coming up – as summer is just round the corner. We’re playing a nice laid back slot at Jagz Open Mic night tomorrow (17th) which is in the front bat, not the function room. There is the possibility of a slot on 29th May (will confirm when confirmed!) and then numerous dates in June including a return to Lincolnshire and The Crawley Folk Festival. Good times.
