Yes and we`re gonna do it for free AGAIN on 28th of December.
Smack bang in between xmas and new year 2 days after Battering Bury 2 days before Mangling mansfield.
FREE ON THE DOOR. Plenty of notice this time so lets get plenty down. We`ll be putting up some merchandise for the raffle again and I think Spud`s got a promo signed by the team to auction off. Any unwanted xmas present will also be welcome for the raffle (dangerous pets not included).
I`ve been talking to a few other bands I know and some would do it for free or very cheap if they think there`s plenty of people getting in that might become followers or want a CD or a T-shirt.
So start getting the word out the first band night of the ASFCOSC kicks off at christmas, lets fill the place and give this movement some momentum, cos FREE bands means FREE on door but it`s up to you to give them the incentive.
If the OSC wants to start hiring bands it`s gonna cost around £80 for a solo (and risk getting a karaoke joe/queen) £150 - £200 for a tinpot duo like us and anywhere from £300 up for larger bands. Local bands can probably be got for much cheaper even free, if they`re young with lots of friends they could be a bonus or just another band that no-ones heard of.
I could trawl my Punk Rock legends but would Eric be that keen on having UK Subs on.
Hold on. Am I the ONLY Stanley fan in a band ?
I`m sure there must be others out there in the crowd who do music.
Lets root em out and round em up.
I must say that since Rob took charge there seems to be an incridible buzz of creativity rippling through this forum, ideas springing up from all directions and a lot of them good. Lets hope some can be brought to fruition and some of our dreams come true. (some people even had time to break off from their argument to chip in, marvellous).
