peeriebryan Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 This is a thread dedicated to Bootsy Collins the great Parliament/Funkadelic/James Brown bassist. He released the seminal solo album "What's Bootsy Doin?" in 1988, but has since been gainfully employed in various places around Shetland. Do you have any information...... "What's Bootsy Doin?"

wally jumblat Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Bootsy is apparently collaborating with Eddie Barclay on a couple of exciting projects. (Or so I've been told). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandhi Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Bootsy is apparently collaborating with Eddie Barclay on a couple of exciting projects. (Or so I've been told). Are you sure it wis Eddie Barclay? I saw him in da Lounge last tuesday an him an Peerie Willie were deep in conversation. Willie wis explainin the essence o da funk. Bootsy kept tryin ta tell him aboot Catfish, but Peerie Willie said he'd never hed onything more exotic as saat pilticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 eh? Just use a bit of imagination Jimmy. It's not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 eh? Just use a bit of imagination Jimmy. It's not that hard. Maybe JAS knows the truth about Bootsy, which has caused his confusion so far in this thread, everybody "in the know" knows that Bootsy hunts Bobolinks in Fair Isle all summer and sells "Wang Computers" in Burra all winter, it's part of his community service. Just 'cos you didn't know McFly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally jumblat Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, Da Herra Hall has a tremendous line up for the summer season. Something that stands out for me is Maceo Parker and Dodo play together at a special mid-summer gig. Also, watch out for the acclaimed Jimmy Cole / Sly Stone roadshow too.
