Morning all. It was mentioned a while back that we would be looking at arranging a meet in the midlands at some point in the summer. Starting a new thread as I can't find the one that this was discussed on.
Can't remember who was going to look for a suitable location so would be good to have some thrown up here - a little bit cheeky of me as it won't be me due to me being based in the south!!
-
Whoops! Just realised I put this in the wrong part of the forum. Can it be moved to a more suitable location please!
-
Done. :)
-
i am up for a summer meet and obviously midlands is great for me... not sure i would have time to organise something though :?
-
Count me in as an attendee
-
Count me in for any meet! Happy to go to midlands, Manchester or London.
Are there any takers for organising a midlands event that know decent sized practice/rehearsal rooms?
-
There was talk of Birmingham I seem to recall.
-
I'm upfor attending this too :)
-
Put me down in the 'interested' group :)
-
I'm interested, depends on the weather as to whether I shall be working or not.
I think brum would be ok, would be nicer to have a bigger space than the London meet though
-
I live in Birmingham! I'm just gone most of August, so it would need to be before that.
-
Looks like a few of us are up for it so far. Any wlling volunteers from the midlands that have local knowledge of rehearsal rooms?
Would be a same if we couldn't get one organised in the midlands - I guess if we can't it'll be Manchester or London again!!
-
I'm happy to organise another Manc one if required, but it'd be nice to go somewhere else!
-
I work in a pub in Kettering, Northants and if it was a sunday or something I'm sure they'd be more than happy to let us meet up in the day or something. We could even open up to the public and have a BKP jam in the evening if anyone else was up for it. All we need is a decent drum kit and a bass amp. I'm more than happy to organise and if Tim and Co want to get involved and run it as an informal BKP promotion then that is fine too.
We have some good local ales available, a kebab shop one side of the shop, corner shop the other, decent parking and space to stash all the gear if needs be!

Sounds good Paddy - how would the day be organised? Would we have exclusive use of the room? If so how long for? The jam sounds ood but means I would need to get a lot of practice in!
-
Colour me interested, as long as i don't break anything this time I should be good. Depends when and where in the country I am though, still not thought about my mammoth move yet. Could either be driving from Glasgow or Ipswich. TBC i guess.

Well I'd say at a push we COULD have the pub for something like 1-7 or something like that for a private meet. If people aren't particularly bothered about jamming while the pub is open then we can keep going til about 11 at night. It's not a busy Sunday night pub (its run more as a venue tbh). If needed I can provide a good drummer and bass player to jam with us!

1-7 for private use - that sounds awesome. I'm not fussed about jamming in front of others as long as they don't expect a rock extravaganza! If we we're to do a jam I would most definitely want to have an idea around what sort of stuff we would be playing!
Have you got a suggested date we could do?
-
You should suggest songs, so people when they meet will know some so you can pull off a few songs. I had the crazy idea of flying over but I don't think I could manage that without collapsing from exhaustion.
-
any news on this..? or shall i just privately arrange with the bkp londoners the same place as last time? obviously then we'll open it up to everyone once confirmed. Johnny Mac? Philly? Afgan?

I'm totally up for this...
London or Kettering (if Kettering I'm coming up early and going out in town with mates the night before)
Sounds fun if we get some backing tracks and jams going.
It was brutal sonic soup sweatbox last time - FUN but a bit mental! :lol:
-
MMM yeah colour me interested on this if still happening

i don't fancy organising another one that much.. but if no one else does, f_ck it i will!
if we do it in london i'll get the 'stage room' that they spoke of, and we can do it on sunday, so jonathan can come down.

The bigger room would be good, for sure!
If it has a stage, has it also got an "audience" area? I can sit there and relax. :)
-
i may be up for another london one, on a sunday is fine as long as its before september. after that it gets more difficult
-
The one in midlands that is
-
It needs some direction in what to do when we get there. Rather than a free for all!
-
Looks like it is London then!!! I'll come down, I have no BKP's but I'm more than happy to bring down my SG and effects board for people to use.
Afghan Dave - didn't kow you had mates in Kettering, ask them if they ever go to Sawyers!
-
Right, I will co-ordinate this. Expect more info soon.

-
Nice one gwEm :)
If I get enough notice, and can get a cheap train, I'll be in.
-
Wahey - good stuff Gwem. I'll be there if I have nothing else on.
