Hi,

Not heard anything more than Chris has said, Drop me a PM with your email address and when I've spoken with them I'll drop you an email.

I reckon we could get 4 bands with 30-40 minute slots and a 10-15 minute changeover in one night without much hassle.

Not checked here for a while...but do you have a date for this thing yet? I'm sure we'd be interested in playing...a saturday night would be best for us...but any day is doable?

Let us know and if you need any help with kit etc.. Give us a shout on here, I check it at lease 3 times a week.

Chris,

Superb!, many thanks for your help. I'm up for a sunday night gig especially if it's to help start a new pub/club.

Hi,

Personally I prefer weekends, that's when you'll get the most people wanting to go out, and wanting entertainment. Friday or saturday night would seem to make sense to me.

As for Venue, I'm more than happy to play a new venue, the big problem is, as you highlighted, my band plays original material and it can be a risk for a pub/club, covers are an easy option.

All we need now is 3 more bands, I expect the Chance would be up for it...

Let me know what the landlord at the 5 ways hotel says, and we'll move forward from there.

Cheers
Paul

I'm all for helping out with that. I agree that the worcester scene is a bit stale at the moment and needs a kick up the ass. hopefully the WOrcester Festival will go someway to improving things but it still needs alot or work.

i know Five Ways Hotel are looking to put on live music. Its not the best venue in the world but it has promise. I have to speak to the owner soon so I can have a word with her about it. Were you thinking weekend or week day?

Keystones are also putting more and more original bands on now as well.

what do you reakon?

Guys,

Is there anyone on here who runs a pub/club and wants to try and put together an evening with say 4 or 5 acts on (30 - 45 mins a set) ?

I can't beleive that in a town the size of worcester there's so little going on music wise. Hereford (where I live) must be half the size of worcester, if not smaller and yet the hereford music forum is busy, there are gigs on most nights of the week and loads of bands.

So what's the difference? is it apathy? or is it that people just want to play in birmingham?

Aside from the guys at fat rat, who do a cracking job, there must be others out there!

Perhaps 4 or 5 bands could get together and try and organise something?

Paul
