Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: breezy Date: 02 Mar 04 - 07:51 PM Shame you missed out on one of this country's top guitarists at Anthill tonight Search on Steve Hicks Luthier he was special. |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: Ross Date: 03 Mar 04 - 03:31 AM Consider me told |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: The Unicorn Man Date: 03 Mar 04 - 01:17 PM Ah but does that mean you are coming or not? On Sunday there's a do up the A1 Linconshire way I might go to,intrested? |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: Ross Date: 04 Mar 04 - 04:16 AM No - I can't come out to play this weekend - got to tidy my bedroom Got that info for you - the vullage hall costs £ 150 for a Saturday night and £ 90 for a Friday night (both 6pm to 12pm)- deposit is £ 100 You have to organise a pub to come in and run the bar - they normally do this for free if they are charging pub prices - maybe £ 10 for a license - the hall takes 180 people Hall is currently booked until June - so say 3 months booking/lead time required - other rooms aren't a lot of cop An alternative is the British Legion at Harpenden where I am a member They have a similar room for £ 95 a night It's separate from the Legion, but the bar runs through into it - so no palaver in sorting that out Harpenden may be better located for the audience you are seeking Hope that's okay |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: The Unicorn Man Date: 04 Mar 04 - 06:35 AM Cheers Ross. See you Monday. |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: GUEST,Sooz(at work) Date: 04 Mar 04 - 08:29 AM Village Halls are a lot cheaper to hire up here in Lincolnshire! You could have ours for £40 any night of the week! Complete with excellent catering facilities. |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: Ross Date: 04 Mar 04 - 08:58 AM Sounds wonderful - wish I could retire up there near the sea Beds & Herts are becoming the armpits of England |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: The Unicorn Man Date: 04 Mar 04 - 12:23 PM Cheers Sooz,but I think even Harpenden is to far for some people to come,and I want it to stay in Barton if possible. I am thinking of getting Show of Hands over sometime.That would be cool. Should see you on Sunday |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: The Unicorn Man Date: 04 Mar 04 - 12:34 PM I am hoping that if we get this going. One of the prizes of the New Roots Competition would be to support Show of Hands. How cool would that be? More at a later date. |
Subject: RE: Bull at Barton Beds 8th March From: Ross Date: 05 Mar 04 - 07:46 AM Your becoming quite a Bartonite Martin I'll have to show you the secret ways |
