🎶 DOVER UPDATE

We won’t be playing in Dover today, so the dancing shoes get a day off! 👞💃

We’re hoping to be back later this month, though, so hopefully you won’t have too long to wait for your next dose of Bamboozle. 😎🎸

We’ll share the new date as soon as it’s confirmed.

See you soon, Dover! ❤️

Tomorrow evening Bamboozle are back at Folkestone Harbour Arm, and the weather is looking absolutely gorgeous, which can only mean one thing…

DANCING. Lots of it. 😎🎶

Come down, grab yourself something delicious, soak up the sunshine and join us for two hours of live music, dancing and general Bamboozle nonsense by the sea.

📍 Folkestone Harbour Arm
📅 Tomorrow - Saturday 15th August
⏰ 6–8pm

Bring your dancing shoes. Or don't. We’ve seen what some of you are capable of in flip-flops. 😂

See you by the sea! 🌊☀️🎸 taken in Folkestone Harbour Arm by @thebasspixie

🎸 Looking to learn Rockabilly, Country, Bluegrass or Jazz double bass or improve your skills?

Come and join some workshop style lessons tailored to where you’re at with your playing and what you actually want to learn.
🎵 From Beginner to Advanced
🎵 Rockabilly slap style
🎵 Technique & stamina
🎵 Tone & feel
🎵 Timing and pocket
🎵 Theory & musicianship
🎵 Improvisation Technique
🎵 Performance & Stagecraft
🎵 Singing & Playing
🎵 Fix playing issues, posture and aches and pains from playing
🎵 Work on specific songs, work out notes, chords and tabs for more unknown tunes
🎵 Exercises designed specifically for your needs and goals

Whether you’re completely new, returning after years away, or wanting to work on specific areas of your playing, lessons are relaxed, practical and built around real music and performance rather than rigid grades.

I offer a workshop-style approach, so lessons don’t have to mean a strict weekly commitment. Some students book regular sessions, others dip in as and when they’d like guidance, structure, troubleshooting or a fresh push forward.

I’ve spent years performing, recording, teaching and working professionally across multiple styles and instruments, and I genuinely love helping people move forward in their playing.

One to one online lessons available worldwide and start from £60 an hour 🌍

Drop me a message if you’d like details, availability, or just want a chat about where you’re at with your playing 🎶

BACKING TRACKS ARE LIVE!

Choo Choo Ch Boogie has just gone live on the site for my Level 2 members and up! You get 4 versions of each track to play to, slow, medium, fast and original speed. Every track has full instrumentation recorded by myself and the ever talented Jim Knowler, and is completely free of Bass, so you guys can fill in and play along with us.

The tracks are now all complete, so they will be rolled out over the coming week as I get each set of speeds ready and onto the site for you.

For my amazing Patrons. I am finally rolling out THE BACKING TRACKS for my Level 2's.

You heard it, bit by bit, each track that can, will have a series of backing tracks without Bass for you to practice along to at 4 different speeds, so you can start slow and work up to the full tempo.

In the next few days, the site will go live with the first tracks, and over the next few weeks/months, it will be updated with backing tracks for all of the songs.

Each of these are hand recorded in my home studio, with myself and Jim Knowler, re-creating the tracks as close to the original as possible.

In the meantime, I thought I'd add a little video of the insane amount of work that goes into getting everything up on the site for you all. This is a sneak peek at the back end of my website, showing the process of uploading all the tracks, at Medium speed, for the Beginners Improvisation Part 1 lesson. The site has been hand built by me from the start, and learning how to construct a CMS has been a mammoth task, but I'm so glad I've done this, as I would never have had the budget to get this to you all without learning.

I also have lots of new video's prepped to go into the recording phase, including the basslines to the infamous "Englishman in New York", "Stand by Me", "Moondance", "Train Kept a Rollin", more scales and a start to the 'learn to read bass music' series.

If there is anything you are dying to have covered, let me know either here, by private message or wherever you see fit!

Finally, there are also chats, tabs and notation going up over the next few weeks/months for all the old songs, so keep an eye out for these. I'll post each time I drop a new batch.

All new content will be posted (where appropriate) with full charts, tabs, notation and backing tracks.

Love to you all, and thanks again for your continued patience and support.

Keep Rockin'
