Western Jam 2022, Saturday 1st October, Factory Studios, Bristol

mrkb

I can brings drums, but it’s a huge hassle (stripping them and all the mics and cables out of my music room and loading the car), so will give bradders the first refusal

Brocco

As we have an agreed date and a venue is close to being secured thought we could start the tracklist discussion (suggest we each nominate 2 songs each initially)

How about Firebird Studio in Brislingtion

Please share any firsthand knowledge of Firebird

I've been there twice and only used the smaller rooms.  Decent acoustically with more sound deadening than Factory .PA was ok.

looks like they've got drums / back line hire availability 

Crazed_Fandango

Yes, same facilities as Factory,  but a slightly smaller setup.

Okay I'll give Firebird a call and see what's what

There's no backline/shells at Real World

It's £120+VAT for the day 

If we can bring a bass amp and our own drums it shouldn't be a problem

drummers and bass players please let us know if this is a problem?

@onlyonebradders ;;

Edit: I suspect it'll be a no as regards the kit, as it's in Reading atm, and will probably need a fortune spent on new heads.  (No idea if heads degrade if they're not being played.)

As my bro points out my kit is in storage in Reading and the heads haven’t been changed for perhaps 30ish years!  I don’t have any travel cases either. So probably a no…

Haha okay. Insert joke about drummers and technology ;-)

If only you knew what I did for a living

I'd like to come to this, if there is room for another guitarist without vocals.  I would really like to see Real World Studios but I understand the lugging drums around issue, so either of the Bristol venues would be fine.

Brocco

@Tele-scopic welcome, I've added you to the list of attendees in the first post
