Leicester (and Leicester-ish) folks - the tricky second outing

Bridgehouse

I’ll bring a bass - do you know if the room you’ve booked has got a bass amp in it?

chomer75

I'll be there too.

I did ask for one, so should be cool. 

JEM

I'll be there.

Dazza

ATM should be there - looking forward to it!

From what I recall of Quad, every room has two guitar amps, a bass amp, a microphone stand with PA-type speakers and a basic drum kit. A couple of rooms also have a mixing desk. Things may have changed, but that's what I recall, anyway.

Yeah, that’s my recollection as well. I wasn’t sure if they’d changed stuff post covid tho. A few studios I’ve been to have changed hands/swapped stuff about and are different now. 

Quad is big enough to deal with plenty of amps in each room tho I imagine. 

Just means I don’t have to lug a big bass amp over, which is good. 

TheOtherDennis

Ah, I can't promise I'm right, because I've not been for 4 or 5 years, so post-covid that may have changed, but it was certainly the case pre-covid. 

Mattharrier

I can't make this I'm afraid, maybe next time.

Excellent - I’ll get another date sorted asap

Teyeplayer

Running a tad late on getting over, but will be with everyone ASAP.

Thanks to everyone who came over - really enjoyed this evening. Extra thanks at @TheOtherDennis and @Bridgehouse for picking up bass and drum duties!

Will book another date for the week after Christmas tomorrow and let everyone know.

Cheers!

Thanks for organising it Nik. 

TheOtherDennis

You're welcome, Nik, thanks for sorting it all.

Couple of things, though.

First, you need to let us chip in for the cost, you can't carry it all yourself, especially if you're going to wind up paying extra for drum sticks and cymbal hire (did you pick those sticks up at the end of the night?)

And second, any chance you could liaise with Leicester City and make sure they arrange an away game for the next night? Traffic was a touch heavy on the way home tonight. ;-)

Teyeplayer

Thanks for hosting Nik, was good to get out and play alongside others for the first time in a couple of years. 

Completely agree with @TheOtherDennis about letting us contribute to the cost -should definitely be shared out. 

Looking forward to the next one.

Ah. Sorry about the traffic. I’ll make sure my people talk to their people

Great to see you mate - thanks again for coming over

Thanks Nik for organising the session and being so supportive.

I'm afraid it all got a bit too loud for both my crappy old amp and my crappy old ears but I had a great time all the same.
