how many of you play live?

[chris beaver]

im just curious,how many of you guys play live gigs doing original instumental material (not covers) in the uk? im setting up a uk mini tour late this year with my band and it would be great to play with other bands doing original instumental material,

Unfortunateley not but..... give us the dates of the mini tour. Like most people here ( I guess) I love to see and hear live music and original is even more of a bonus!!

Give me a shout when you reach the land of the long white cloud and I'll set you up with a few similar bands :)

farley, the dates and venues are something ill be sorting out nearer the time but will have sorted it by august im gonna try and do about 30 gigs in november/december and see how it goes what i realy need is to find other bands doing a simular thing so they could hook me up a gig in their area with them and id do the same for them hear in the midlands as bands need to help eachother and work together if they want a crowd, theres nothing more humiliating than playing to the barstaff and 20 punters ive done that before and its demoralising whre are u from mate and is it good for gigs?

bluesgeek, what youve said is exactly what i need but do you live in new zealand?

[bluesgeek]

If I was over on that side of the pond Chris you'd have at least 21 punters and bar staff...LOL I'm sure you'll get this happening dude if not I'll have to come over there and promote for you at a nominal 40%:grin:

[quote=chris guitar;52702] ..where are u from mate and is it good for gigs? [quote]

Sleepy Suffolk mate, the worst part of the world for gigs although... Ipswich is close by and there is one pub, The Railway (http://ipswichrailway.co.uk/), that has decent bands on. Saw the Hamsters (www.thehamsters.co.uk (http://www.thehamsters.co.uk)) a little while back and the place was heaving with "punters".

Actually, if anyone has not heard the Hamsters you should! Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/thehamstersuk

Sorry Chris, not trying to take over the thread but Slim is a cracking player!

Anyway..... I'm happy enough to travel when you get dates for later in the year.
Cheers

Does that mean I can expect to see you in Sydney this September, Farl? :smile:
