Here’s one for all you guitar buffs...

I’d been looking around for a bass guitar for a while, and I was pretty sure I wanted Fender Jazz Bass, and in my constant pursuit of good value for money, I headed over to eBay. Much to my surprise, I found a jazz bass called the ‘Longhorn’. I had neither seen nor heard of these before, so I looked at it. Its just like a jazz bass, but, similar to the Danelectro Longhorns, it has an extended upper horn. It’s not massively noticeably different to a normal jazz bass, but its cool nevertheless. They were produced from 1989 to 1993, and this particular one is an ’89 one. Anyway, I ended up buying it, and am just waiting for delivery now! I’ll be looking forward to many new trips to avenue bass in funkytown :-)]]>sambrucealmighty@gmail.comPoliticsWhat I'm Up to2009-11-29T09:35:24+00:00http://www.sambruce.co.uk/page2/files/fd3c520ee15f08958222ebd658aa99f6-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.sambruce.co.uk/page2/files/fd3c520ee15f08958222ebd658aa99f6-3.html#unique-entry-id-3Hi!
Last night, I was at the Conservative party open primary selection meeting for the safe seat of Congleton, and no, while I am a political junkie, I wasn’t there just for the heck of it. My mum, Fiona Bruce (not the newsreader) was up for selection.

It was great fun, and the atmosphere was intense, but the result was crystal clear. My mum (Fiona Bruce) won the selection on the first ballot, and reportedly with a ‘landslide majority’. Many congratulations to her, and here’s to a great future MP in Congleton!

It was also fantastic to meet up with my good friends Mike and Jacqui from London.

See ya soon!

At the weekend I met up with my good friends Carolyn and Agricola from Tanzania.

They were great fun, and we enjoyed hearing about their great charity work with their school and other projects.

If you want, you can sponsor a child at the school, or volunteer with a team there! (contact me for more details)

We also went to the launch of Shell Perris’s great new album (www.shellperris.com)

We had good fun and all went well!

Speak soon!

I’m very pleased to announce that I, along with my good friends and team mates Abi Watson and Naomi Bell, were the local winners of the Youth Speaks competition. It’s a public speaking competition organised by the Rotary Club.

The competition took place Today, the 18th November, and was fierce. The chairman of adjudicators reported that it was ‘the most difficult [to judge] ever’.

We decided to speak on Philosophy, and more precisely, logical argument. Our key goal was to ‘convince the audience of the certainty of deductive arguments’.

We all had a great evening, and there were excellent entries from Sir John Dean’s college, Greenbank School, Hartford High, as well as my 6th form college, The Grange School.

It was a fantastic event, and my personal thanks go to the Northwich Rotary Club for organising the event, Mid Cheshire College for facilitating it, and all of the other participants.

See ya soon!
