Bongo Fury

Well I played the double bass for a number of years but I don't own one anymore and even if I did, i think I'd struggle to fit it in the Bongo with all the other associated crap we tend to bring....can also tinker with violin and piano but not in public

Change of plan also in that we are bringing our youngest two (nothing to do with needing an excuse to go see Derek and Sali Mali )

and in Bangor I can show you all the lovely tower I work in Plus there's the Pier (£1 or so to park I think and the Pier is about 50p entrance), there's a nice pub there as well although might be full of students does a nice Stottie..mmmm.

oh no, does that mean we're the only ones with no kiddies ...

We'll have to meet you somewhere as I'm sure we'll not be up at the crack of dawn

I know Andrew is a musician ... any one else. I've got a guitar but can't really play it but if anyone can I could bring it along or maybe someone can give me some lessons so I can play more than 4 chords.. lol

Wayne got some bongo drums for Christmas we could bring / bang

Have a look at this (you older ones may remember the series!)....it`ll give you some ideas about instruments you may be able to playat the meet,like maracas,twangers and plucking instruments..... and it shows you how to sing in harmony too!!! ........very funny.

I loved Rainbow but won't look at Bungle in the same way again after watching that... lol

I can bring a kazoo

Anyone remember the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra, I had their EP in multi-coloured vinyl

For anyone under 30, vinyl is a type of disc thing that spun around with a needle extracting the sound from it

With a bow or Ray Brown style?

Both really but usually with a bow, in an Orchestra

Oooh no not sure I'm up to being a tour guide, I hear the previous one was really good so will be hard to live up to

We'll meet you for lunch somewhere after you've finished with the weather people..

Debs tour guides are fab, but be prepared to get a little lost...

All joking aside the two Anglesey tours Debbie organised last year were stunning.

When is the potential Bangor tour then? - we're not likely to arrive until first thing Saturday due to kid's Friday activities and the joys of the M56 / A55 on a Friday evening.

apart from the Pier i dont know Bangor very well at all but hopefully there'll be enough parking at the Pier, but there's a free carpark on the front thats not too far away

I guess there's Penrhyn Castle too but it probably isn't open

I think Chris knows Bangor pretty well and I'm sure Debs does too

Whatever you decide..we'll come and meet you on the Saturday for lunch somewhere.

Can't wait to camp again in Wales... beautiful country !
