    Just done the first set. Bit dead here so if anyone wants to make it to Great Barr for the second set at half ten...
    ... apparently we can't play the second set until the boxing finishes. Never playing this shit hole again :angry: 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I never understand pubs who book bands then don't let them set up/play until the football/boxing/rugby has finished...if you and your punters would rather watch the sport than listen to a band...don't book a band, then fuck them about...as you can tell...has happened to us a few times and never ceases to piss me off....!

    I agree, we had it a couple of times with England matches, trouble is when we booked the gigs n one knew when the matches would be.

    I think this would have been predictable. Can't say it was my favourite gig ever.

    Does anyone here ever turn up to an advertised gig, or is this thread just for pub bands to parade their gigs? Anyway, Urban Legends are at the New Market Inn in Nottingham town centre on Friday. New venue for us.

    I've never been to one but I find it interesting what people are up to. Although I'm not sure anyone consistently posts everything they do on here. 
    I'm pretty much of the view that you are only any kind of a musician if you play to other people so three chords in a pub band to me is a great thing .

    If anyone wants to hear my three chords this week it's a Sunday tea time gig at the White Horse in Derby city centre. Rough as a bear's arse and a ridiculous journey for me  but they do support live music ( well, tribute and cover bands but people with actual instruments at least).

    I often forget to post.

    It's another aspect of musicianship. I think that you can have a lot of fun learning, recording, and solo performing. Working with a band, where you have to rein in your technical capabilities and work as part of a team, is a definite skill.

  • Private function last night - a 50th birthday in a social club. The room sounded good and it was a good party. However, it was the SMALLEST stage in the world. I mean there are 9 of us admittedly but the distance between my amp and my pedals was my shoe size. Shame really as I like to have a little bit of a dance when were playing.

    My second consecutive Friday at Little Totham Swan beer fest. This time it's funk n' disco.
    Weather looks great, the 8oz burgers are from the local butcher (very nice) and the atmosphere is very pleasent. Nice dogs are welcome too.
    We have 8-10pm slot outside.
