How on EARTH does he play so many notes so quickly? It was like fast forwarding the picture to real time music. Amazing. His stories remind me of good ol' Dublin and I fancy another visit. Bull outing? Hen nights? I hope to go to Dunstable tonight if Bertie isn't off smashing guitars or watching football and will let me share his music stand. Dunstable............Dublin..........

11 May 06 - 03:08 PM (#1738257) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Cathie Please could you explain 'resident spotlight set' for those of us who always need clarification. Do you invite people or does 'resident' refer to Bull people... including Barmy Bambi Killers. sob. |
13 May 06 - 07:25 AM (#1739709) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Ross oophs - I didn't know the pheasants were revolting I don't really know what I mean - at present we seem to get about 4-5 regulars come along to the open mic - they/we all seem to do about 4-5 songs each It's all a bit haphazard, the PA changes every week and sound/quality is not very consistant I was just wandering if we should offer people 20 minute slots and then pre-book the slots Then we could advertise a bit who's performing and perhaps get an audience - the spotlights could be open to anyone - any style of music could apply - it need not just apply to residents Anybody out there want a slot? I suppose we could run a raffle to pay beer money to anyone who performed - I was thinking of putting a CD together of local performers as a prize Anybody who wants a demo doing - I've got a mobile recording desk The folk nights are going very well - we constantly get over twenty people and it's a nice mix of songs and tunes |
13 May 06 - 01:46 PM (#1739980) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Singing Referee Hi Ross, Thinking of coming along to your next open mic. I'm tryig to develop a non-folk set.

16 May 06 - 02:23 PM (#1741964) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Cathie I hope so - I am quite worried about him. My favourite quote of the week - from Deadringers - Fiona Bruce: "There are no hose pipe bans when I walk into a room." Where is the feedback from Bert and young John re open mic nights? They can't both be at BB auditions, surely. |
16 May 06 - 04:25 PM (#1742045) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: breezy I thought of having a patois , but the wife thought the back garden looked fine as it was ! Pat who? and Where? |

17 May 06 - 10:12 AM (#1742329) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Hitchin' John Catherine - my advise with any instrument is try not use a lot of force. A lot of parts break easier than you think - as you obviously felt, if it is not easy then maybe you need advice at least for the first time you change strings. What bit were you unscrewing? - The tuning pegs unwinding? John Hi Ross re the open mic I can understand your concern about Mikes/PA last time I didn't know Bert wasn't bringing his PA and so was improvising with the portastudio somewhat haphazardly. With a little discussion we can improve on that. Re attendence/ performance I think we get the same thing if not the same numbers for the open mic as for the Folk/Acoustic - people turn up that want to play and then we get a small audience as well - there are just more people who want to perform at the acoustic nights. If you want to build the audience that you are right we will need more focused perfomances and a bit more publicity probably. John |
17 May 06 - 10:14 AM (#1742334) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Cathie thank you very much John - see you later - maybe points out of 10? |

Make sure the landlord catches him 'in the act' I dared him to do it at the Rose and crown but he bottled it. I would welcome him doing it at the Windward Club btw next Sunday , room for floor singers, as george papavgeris showcases his latest songs. Plus Fleggy and Connolley and who knows who else |

22 May 06 - 12:27 PM (#1745455) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Singing Referee Ross hope I've not caused confusion! The one esential bit of kit I'm short of is a PA! I was rather hoping there would already be one there, as there was on the one and only time I've been to your open mic session before. I wanted to bring my electronic gizmo's to plug into it to try out the backing tracks I've created before I splash out on a PA. |
23 May 06 - 05:12 AM (#1745883) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Ross Hi Steve - I haven't got a PA either We have been reliant on friends of the session for lending us equipment Hopefully there will be some feedback on this thread before Wednesday Crikey - our threads gone serious |
23 May 06 - 05:45 AM (#1745892) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - May06 things From: Hitchin' John Hi Ross I'll bring some stuff on Wednesday and improvise a PA. It will be better than last time - but I'll also think about what I can sort out for one that is better still, for the future. For Wednesday I'll bring a couple of bass amps and run them off a mixer. I have plenty of mikes. I have lots of bits - but not a small handy PA. Some where I have 2 2x12" cabs and a battered old 90 watt(hissy) mixer amp. But I'll never get the cabs in the car along with any instruments - no fun then! I also have the biggest bass amp combo you have ever seen if anybody wants to deafen their neighbours. Free loan to anybody that is getting into grunge or deaf metal. (size of a chest of drawers - 1x15" bass reflex cabinet - very heavy and also top heavy - amp at top) Anyway see you Wednesday for mayhem |
