Monckyman Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hello. Having just read the thread in this forum about badly calibrated Noise Limiters in some venues I got to thinking how useful it might be to have a general information thread on venues people have played in. Information included might be: Postcode/directions. Size of room/punter head count Stage size (or stage at all!) Noise limiter Mains 240 access Load in/stairs General fees (though these of course vary). Contact info. Type of music they like there. Perhaps a thread like this might help people find suitable gigs more easily. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I do agree. Except that it would have to be carefully moderated to avoid libel problems. Some places (and bands for that matter) can be very touchy about discussing fees. Edited March 15, 2012 by thepurpleblob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Plus things change in Venues so quickly these days it would be difficult to always have an up to date view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I tried this a few months ago. It fell dead on its arse. Maybe it's me :/ [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162394-venue-review-wiki-whats-your-next-gig-going-to-be-like/page__p__1486230__hl__venue__fromsearch__1#entry1486230"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162394-venue-review-wiki-whats-your-next-gig-going-to-be-like/page__p__1486230__hl__venue__fromsearch__1#entry1486230[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think its impossible to have such a thread running and not fall foul of libel or falling out of date. The best way really would be when people have problems with venues is to make a thread I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I don't think fee's can be included as it's pretty much a personal thing between band and venue. Also I'm a bit worried about libelous statements, we've had one or two bun fights to deal with in the past when members have posted stuff about non members and they have been tipped off about it and come on here to have a look. It's a monumental pain to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Good idea but geographically pertinent I wouldn't mention fees and would just talk about room, stage size, parking, access and general stuff. So nothing contentious. More practical for weddings, functions and general cross-over gigs between BC-ers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Stick to facts and it can't be libellous. Keeping it updated will be the challenge. I don't think including fees is a good idea, I'm sure it changes from band to band and from promoter to promoter, and is a private matter in any case.
