[/quote] I agree, but it would be good to know if there's sufficient interest before we bother organising anything concrete..... bit of a chicken/egg situation! I've put a message in my sig anyway, so that hopefully others might express their interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Have a look at the Nottingham Bash thread. They've set up a poll regarding venue and dates which looks like a good idea! But thinking about dates...the Nottingham crew are looking at dates in November. I wonder if that would clash a bit with a WM Bash .. I suspect there are people who could go to either one. Do you think we should look at dates in the New Year? Give us a bit more time to plan? Or maybe have a small event (ie in one room) this side of Christmas to test the water, and if that goes well aim for a biger one later on? (Sorry if I'm interfering here. Politely tell me to butt out if you've got other plans!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good thoughts, I suppose I could even make it to the Nottingham Bash if I want to. Perhaps if us lot can go over there, most of them would come to Brum in the new year? Either that or depending on how far along the Notts crew are, perhaps they would consider linking up and finding a venue inbetween? (I don't want to tread on anyone's toes though!) Personally, I would like to go to a bigger event where you can meet more people, and there's more going on. Anyone else got any thoughts too? There must be more BCers in the West Midlands!!!

seashell Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yes, maybe interested parties could meet up at the Nottingham Bash and talk tactics! We'll need to keep an eye on both threads. I see they are having second thoughts about their dates now.. This is all getting a bit complex isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugget Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'd be up for it - Based in worcester but could travel about a bit. I think I could get a village hall just 5 minutes off M5 J7 (worcester south junction) if it's not too far for all to travel, its very large got a canteen area for coffee making etc, isolated so noise isnt an issue, loads of parking - and would be very cheap.

Machines Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The last bash was quite far south in the Mids and I think Worcester is too really. Perhaps something a bit further up around Wolves/Walsall/Lichfield ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 I think that all sounds great guys, but I agree with Machines that perhaps we should look a bit further north, especially if we're potentially going to merge with the Nottingham guys (although I've not heard anything back yet). I'm just itching to have a bash! And hopefully try one of your basses Dave..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I agree it would be good to be a bit further north for the next one. But the Worcester venue sounds great to bear in mind for the future, if that's OK with Nugget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 All sounds great guys. Only looked in on this part of the of the forum because i saw the west mids mentioned, but after looking at some of the other bashes i'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Savage Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Spoken to Alex at Arkham and have a number for the upstairs bar at the Madhouse Rehearsal studios, shall ring up and enquire price-wise if that location suits (B19 3LS, five minute walk from Birmingham Snow Hill station and about another ten from New Street, parking right outside which (IIRC) is free or at least very cheap at the weekend). The bar'd hold a few dozen with gear easily, so should suit us if people are up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Good idea. Had my band's first gig there and the size of the room is suitable for the numbers we're thinking of - plus I imagine they don't book it out much on a Sunday afternoon ?!

[/quote] I'd imagine not - actually, I'm at the Asylum next door reviewing a gig on Thursday so I'll pop in then and do it in person. I'd be able to provide drum kit and at least one guitar amp as well, should we want the option to jam some (and I see no reason why we shouldn't ).

Machines Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A few years ago in Manchester we had a couple of mini-bashes in the Blueprint studios. Someone brought their band's drummer and it was much fun, hearing a bass played with a drummer is very different to solo noodling. Let us know when you know the availability and prices .

seashell Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Sounds excitng and the location would be ideal for me! I'm pretty tied up on Sundays until 13 November (incl), so hoping that we're looking at a date after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorick Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Spoke to Rich at Madhouse, who books the stuff at the upstairs bar (Asylum2), looking at around £50 for a sunday afternoon 1-6.00pm ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Nice one Yorick, beat me to it! So if we can get a couple of dozen of us only a couple of quid or so each, I could live with that - would we get use of the PA with that too? I'd assume not, but I could lash something together myself if needs be (oh, and I haz teh limited drumming skillz also ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
