BrunoBass Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Newly bandless and against the odds enjoying not doing any NYE (or Christmas for that matter) gigs for the first time in years 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Depping with a band at a function in Poole. Did it with the same band last year and it was an absolute hoot - much silliness, so looking forward to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassalarky Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Very nice local pub, The Angel. Great punters, great food and they've organised a minibus to take the band home - pick up the gear the next day. Looking forward to it 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local to me, I'm just down the road. Unfortunately won't be able to get out due to having small children and not looking for a babysitter on NYE but let me know the name of your band etc and I'll keep an eye out for you!

uk_lefty Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 We have been asked for loads of gigs and functions for this NYE and the last but turned all down... Its the drummers wedding anniversary. He will gig, he just puts a price on it. Which isn't particularly high to be fair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Stopped doing them this year. Had enough of the usual NYE at one of our regular pubs after many years. Have fun if you are playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Three set gig at a small venue in Burgh le Marsh, Lincolnshire. 9pm start and finishing at midnight 30. What do bands charge for this night? We ask and get 2.5 times usual fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Playing a rather large club which is ticketed. 2 x 1 hour sets and we'll finish about 12.30am. We are getting paid £2k. This is for 5 band members and a soundmen. We are also booked for NYE 2020 in a different club and getting paid £2.3k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun if you are playing Since the 80's I've always said no to NYE gigs. But this year I was asked and said yes! It's a trio gig with vocals, guitar and bass. These are excellent players so I'm in for a good night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I've put together a rock band for a one off gig this NYE. I've known the other guys for 15 years and they are all top players, we pooled together to come up with a seriously exciting setlist of rock covers from the 50s to the 00s. Probably mostly mainstream-ish pub rock with the odd heavier tinge, a little punk, blues, classic rock, some prog leanings and general rocking stuff. Lineup is 4pc - bass, 2 x guitar and drums with 3 of us sharing lead and harmony vocal duties. Been rehearsing twice weekly for the past 6 weeks and the set is smoking hot! Very excited! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewine Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Our 3rd public gig with our new guitarist. We're playing The Barley Pop in Germantown, 4:00-7:00. A 20 minute commute. I plan on being home by 8:30. Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Wedding gig on the 30th, then a posh pub for function money on NYE. Always a fun one there, so a nice couple of nights planned before the Jan drought! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 We're in our usual venue but doing an extended set due to the late license. Edinburgh gains about 250,00 temporary residents over New Year and Hogmanay celebrations (a few years back there were 400,000 visitors to the city for Hogmanay) but hopefully they'll not all be in the pub at out gig! Looking forward to it, got some new songs in the set we've been adding in and tightening up over the last few weeks and the set's are all quite lively! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
