pete.young Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yup, private function in Ipswich. First time for years and years that I haven't been sitting on the sofa watching Jools, bored out of my skull! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Depping with a function band in the Celtic Manor hotel in Newport, S. Wales. Long night - 6pm soundcheck, 5 other acts on first, finish our third set at 1.30am but the money is very good Cheers Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkmaster Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yep - out with The Welsh T Band tonight. Got an ace keyboard player joining us for tonight's gig too. Fab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybassplayer Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Not out gigging tonight and not happy about being in a function band when half the band want the summer off and the other half don't want to gig over xmas Think a change is on the way in 2009 !!

vmaxblues Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yup, playing at a good local pub, should be a good crowd, will be doing three sets of an hour. Not a great payer, but we all walk away with 100 notes each and hopefully had a lot of fun along the way...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gigging tonight at the 6 Bells in Chiddingly, East Sussex.. It's a small pub which holds 150 people and they've sold it out so it will be absolutely rammed.. Three sets, start at 9.30pm and finish at 1am; should be a great night! Happy New Year Folks - have a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 No band = no gig ...there's the NY resolution though! Have a good one tonight, those of you gigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm playing tonight in my local - no money but I get free beer so technically I'm £50 up on a normal New year's eve. I'm really looking forward to it, all I have to do is stay sober enough to make it to the end of the gig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenshirt Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I'm playing tonight at a private party. It's going to be quite a challenge though. I'm guesting on rhythm g**tar with another local band and I've only got a couple of hours to learn the songs! It can't be that hard can it? I can't even have a lot to drink as I've got to get up for work at 5.45am! Have a great time tonight folks, Mart Edited December 31, 2008 by woodenshirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Not tonight-got one Saturday though. Can't be bothered to do anything tonight-might nip out for a bite to eat in a mo, but we'll be back in plenty of time. I'm quite looking forward to Jools-the Hold Steady are on, a recent discovery of mine. Like a cross between Springsteen and Husker Du. Forgot to mention-Happy New Year, Basschatters!

bumnote Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I am playing at a club in Woolston, we played last yearr as well. Im looking forward to it except for the old lang ine, hokey cokey and all that rubbish. Best paid gig of the year but also the audience up up for a good time.

Kirky Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yep, gigging at the Harlow in Harrogate. With a very experienced dep drummer (our regular drummer has a gig with his other band). Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 We're at the local British Legion - 3 sets starting at 9 interspersed with bingo - good bunce and close enough to walk home. First gig with my new head - woohoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it.[/quote] Played there a few weeks ago, nice easy load in through the back door, easy set up area and plenty of room to move. Nice and friendly audience who were up for a dance as well so you should have a good gig. What's the name of your band ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Round to our drummer's house for a party. The whole bands going and I dropped my gear off there earlier, so I'm expecting we'll get through a few tunes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
