Norwich and Norfolk Music Scene - Advice Please.
BigRedX replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
I'm glad you've got some useful advice and contacts, because the only two Norfolk-based musicians I know never play there. -
How could you have been bad if you're already booked for next NYE. Some people are very narrow minded when it comes to live bands. If their particular juke box songs aren't in your set they just like to complain. I sometimes think the younger generation are too used to getting things "on demand" and expect every live band to play every style when they want it. I'd put this down to excessive drink and rudeness, forget it and just move on to the next gig. Not everyone will be happy with a band but as you say "why actually say it" I certainly would never criticise a live band. All credit to any musicians that get up there and make the effort. Dave

Played at The Allington ACA near Maidstone for NYE and it was absolutely dire! It was a ticketed event and there were less than 50 people in a massive room, including 10 kids! We’d been booked for ages, for a decent fee, but it was a long night with no atmosphere, especially with having to do 3 x 45 minute sets which kills any momentum. Apparantly there had been some politics with the committee, which had led to a lot of people celebrating elsewhere, and people not wanting to pay £20 a ticket to go somewhere that they go to for free every other week when the pubs in town had bands on with free entry for NYE. That said, we played well and a few people complimented us at the breaks, and also apologised for the lack of people there. Took both of my Ibanez 5 strings, but just used the EHB all night.

Thanks for that @Reggaebass I had looked at screwfix - don't know how i didn't spot that. Looks like it would do for a non-notched edge anyway- 4 replies

I'm coming out of gigging retirement this Saturday Jan 3rd at The Crown Inn, Hornchurch after a 13 month break. A real mixed bag of non standard rock and pop covers with bunch of mates. Roped the drummer in from my old band so I have a safety blanket there at least. Should be interesting.....28 songs learned with a load of homework and a couple of rehearsals. We haven't figured all the endings out yet though so will be eyes open on the night. Wish me luck.....

Umm, look where I live. There's the internet, couriers and road trips. That's a dangerous false sense of security you've got there. My top tip - stay the flock out of of Facebook Marketplace. That has been the source of many a "damn, that's a good price, and it's only 3-5 hours away..." shenanigans for me.

I'm in, although it's not going to be much of a challenge because I live somewhere that provides zero temptation. It will at least make me think before burdening anyone who decides to come and visit with things I don't need anyway.
