What no Tony Blackburn?

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

What about the poor neighbours who have to put up with this garbage.....

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Its in the countryside, probably in fields belonging to a farmer who will be being paid for it - so I dont think he'll mind much eh?

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

In response to recent comments;



The New Inns is at least two miles from the nearest built up area. The farmhouse in the immediate vicinity have kindly given their support to the event.



Country Club is not held in a muddy farmers field. It is held inside the New Inns (Shepherds Rest) complex. There is a terrace outside which will be used during the day, for people to soak up some rays and relax to ambient sounds. At night the two indoor rooms will be totally transformed with amazing decorations to create the perfect bank holiday backdrop!



You described Country Club as like ‘listenening to garbage’ fair enough, you are entitled to your views, but I’d like you to be a little bit more specific, if possible, as to which music you are referring to? There will be over 30 of Lancashire’s most successful and well respected musicians performing on the day playing a very wide range of music ranging from, Latino Jazz, Soul, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Hip Hop, Disco and Funky House so garbage is not the word I would choose to describe them.



If you have any more questions, just ask and I’ll be happy to answer.

Its just one person who says its garbage mate... take a look around.. its the one person who would argue night is day on this forum.. take with pinch of salt and good luck on the day :)

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

I'm with Tealeaf - but I'm sure the young and less discriminate will adore it! After all, if it's noisy enough, you don't have to make conversation or think .... (and yes, my musical tastes range from Mozart to Meatloaf, with a few interesting digressions on the way). How about something a little more upmarket for us oldies?

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

More upmarket no problem - We also do The Bling Bling Balls which do attract a more mature clientele. Think classical musicians performing to guests dressed in their tux's and gowns whilst sipping champers and watching fireworks outside the marquee. Check out the gallery of the New Years Eve Bling Bling Ball Here >

NOTE: The pics were taken well after midnight on New Years Eve 2003 - Even the camera was a little tipsy!

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

One small point - if it is so isolated, who is going to organise transport? Will you provide car parking facilities and also be responsible for taking the keys away from those who are unfit to drive? I only ask ..... if you have ever stood beside a trolley in A&E and wondered which bit went where, you would know WHY I ask, particularly when the body on the trolley belongs to some poor innocent soul who was hit by a drunken driver. Call me old fashioned, but .....

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

What is the problem here? How miserable can you get!

Someone posts in good faith to advertise a SOCIAL and FUN event and all you can do is offer up childish and outright malicious karma and pick holes in someones hard work.

Ignore the bad vibes Country Club, I for one applaud initiative and hard work, especially when it concerns music and the local area. Have a good night!

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

CJ, what are you rabbiting on about now? This is not an Accy Web social event - this is a profit making organistion which has placed a free advertisement for an event taking place way outside the Accy/Hyndburn borough.


As for the "music"...are you being serious or what? Are'nt you the guy who's always on about the importance of live music. There's sod-all live about this nonsense...."A dozen of Lancashires finest DJ's"....do we have that many? Doing what? scratching records, thats what?

Don't give me any more nonsense...this is a free advert for a bag of monkey vomit, no more.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

I think these going to be a session of our own on this very day, is there not? Should Mr Roy not be charging for this type of advertising? It would pay the bar bill for the next accyweb meeting and have some left over for a good donation for a local charity.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

"CJ, what are you rabbiting on about now? This is not an Accy Web social event - this is a profit making organistion which has placed a free advertisement for an event taking place way outside the Accy/Hyndburn borough."

Fair comment - But my business partner and i were born in accrington and still do live there. We put on events all over England, but its always nice to do something on your doorstep and hopefully improve the culture of Hyndburn. As for profits on this event - there are none. As with most of the things we do in Accrington it ends up goin to the charity 'Help A Local Child' (but we dont really like to brag about that). The new inns is well within Hyndburn


"As for the "music"...are you being serious or what? Are'nt you the guy who's always on about the importance of live music. There's sod-all live about this nonsense...."A dozen of Lancashires finest DJ's"....do we have that many? Doing what? scratching records, thats what? "

"Don't give me any more nonsense...this is a free advert for a bag of monkey vomit, no more"

There will be 'turntabalists' not DJ's there on the day. Along with other 'live' music involving congos, bongos, trumpets, tronbones, boubles bass, guitars, pianos to name but a few....."

Wait a few secs and ill reply to your earlier post.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Tickets £12.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could have a pleasant day out for that

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

A nice thought Doug, but have you ever seen an Accy web bar bill? :drunk: Not to mention the curry place bill afterwards, the local charities wouldn't stand a chance. I am not yet an old fogey and have been in more than my share of clubs. I have never heard of any of these DJ's. That's not saying that it wouldn't be a good event, it's just not my cup of tea.:coffeecup

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Im sure you could. I totally understand you will never support an event such as country club and will never understand what where all about. To someone like you its a rip off rave with music going bump bomp bump. I have tried to inform you what we are about but i really cant understand your hostility. I do totally respect your opinions, but do you actually belive everyone else has the same narrow minded views as yourself?

Why cant you say ''sorry not my thing, im sure the people who do go will love it - nice to see something exciting going on for once though"

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Tell us more about these "Turntabalists"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Theres a thin line between advertsising and informing.. its hard to do one without the other..

OK this is an advert but its also informative..

I think you should all be ashamed of yourselves. This isn't the usual accyweb welcome to someone making there first post even if it is an advert.. Try saying hello and welcome before kicking the guy in the teeth eh ?

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

In response to recent comments;



The New Inns is at least two miles from the nearest built up area. The farmhouse in the immediate vicinity have kindly given their support to the event.

If I recall correctly there are still a large number of isolated residences in this area.....this racket will kick off at 3pm and will be heard for a long way round, non-stop until 2am. I hope your fuses blow & your generator fails.

There are a couple of farmhouses within a mile or so.
The outdoor music does start at 3pm - including accoustic sets - The outdoor entertainment closes just after sundown. The music that continues after that is contained within the building and conforms to all relevent environmental health issues.

Country Club is not held in a muddy farmers field. It is held inside the New Inns (Shepherds Rest) complex. There is a terrace outside which will be used during the day, for people to soak up some rays and relax to ambient sounds.

Yeah....pools of vomit, & piles of illegal substances...a perfect backdrop
Never never happened at any of our events. Firstly we dont attract that type of clientel, secondly we use professional security to ensure the safety of all people on site.

It's the word I use to describe it & I'm right
Horses for courses - take of your blinkers one day maybe?

If you have any more questions, just ask and I’ll be happy to answer.

I hope you've got a proper license mate...even if you have, I hope the cops raid and shut you down (While also cracking a few heads at the same time)

T


A 'proper license' was granted months ago and we have an excellent relationship with the 'cops' who also gave us the green light.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

I can see your angle, Kipax.....you want to wrangle your way into being the official photographer for the night...clear up £5 for every piccy you take from every drugged-up punter.

As regards saying "Hello and Welcome"...how the hell am I supposed to do that to an advert? I'm sure the chap/chapess behind it is a nice person, but that does'nt stop them from spouting rubbish.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

"The new inns is well within Hyndburn

Make your mind up...your advert abouve says it's halfway between Preston & Blackburn....are we taking about the New Inns over the hill from Rishton. If we are, then I was barred from there in 1975, so I could'nt come anyway, even if it was a decent event, rather than rubbish.

So sorry, that press release was taken from a national campaign > we organise coaches from across the region to come to Country Club Events. - i forgot to make it more local. "Halfway between Rishton & York" is that better? You were barred in 1975 > i do hope its still in place!

There will be 'turntabalists' not DJ's there on the day. Along with other 'live' music involving congos, bongos, trumpets, tronbones, boubles bass, guitars, pianos to name but a few....."

What the hell is a "Turmtabalist"? A fancy name for a drug dealer? A Afgan Lesbian Hindu Carpenter? pray tell...this could be interesting..

Main Entry: turntablist
Pronunciation: 't@rn teI ,blIst
Function: noun
Definition: a performing artist who uses phonograph turntables to manipulate sound and create music; a practitioner of turntablism

Tell us more about these "Turntabalists"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im not going to start bashing out their CV's because none of it will ping in your brain. Read the Accrington Observer this Friday.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Ok try the Lancashire Evening Telegraph on Friday. A few profiles will be going in that. You might be even be able to win yourself a pair of tickets.

If anyone wants to hear the 'turntabalists' in action tune into Rock 97.4 FM at the weekend were you can hear three of the Country Club DJ's broadcasting their own shows. You might even see Adele Roberts on TV this week if you watch Big Brother's Little Brother.

Im off to Toast in Lancaster now. Goodnight All!

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

For give me Dan, Why would anyone want to see Adela Roberts on TV or in anything else other than the distance..............

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

For once I am in agreement with Kipax! Why all the hostility - if you dont fancy this kind of thing then just dont go instead of parading all this cliched "thats not music, no melody, cant whistle it" claptrap!

I've never gone on about the importance of live music on these forums - however I do believe that, but that is no reason why there isn't a place for people playing records - especially when town centre places dont play this kind of music. As for DJ's/turntablists, being an instrumentalist/musician of degree standard I can assure you that what these guys (and gals) do with records is an art. I have tried myself and it is far from easy and takes as much dedication and practise as any other musical discipline. You are obviously out of touch Tealeaf as you are unaware of how these things work ie. how turntables fit in with live bands etc.

Anyway, I cant be arsed getting into another music debate here - I just cant believe all the cantankerous hostility here.

Dan mate - you are wasting your time argueing with Tealeaf, God alone knows why I bother - I must enjoy it!

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Kipax
It might have been nice if Country Club had posted a hello in the introduction section first before posting the Add

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

It might have been your right... but two wrongs dont make a right in my book... we should welcome everyone to accyweb... not just the people who use the welcome section first. Even not welcoming him would have been better than attacking him.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

ER Doug i think you are way off just 1 round of drinks at the accyweb meetings is over £15
and if your prepaird to stand the hole bar bill then i am sure you will be welcome to join us
but be prepared for a bill well over £150

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

bit short on that mick it can be nearer £20 at times he he he//

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Kipax.........look at that opening post again. It is not an introduction, it is not an hello, it is not an opening to a dialogue.....it is an advertisment, nothing more. Furthermore it is an advertisement for a so called "music" event involving a series of individuals fooling around with records on a turntable. Some of us find this nonsense - masquerading as music - to be highly offensive, to the ear, to the mind and to music. If "Country Club" makes another appearance of a similar manner then he will get the same response.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

yes i do agree with you there kipax

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

i cant see why everyone is talking to an advert then?

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

I initially had a one line reply to the advert....then the exchanges began.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Is this a commercial venture or not? I know they say that all profits will go to charity, but what about management fees? - they can be VERY lucrative. Are all the "artistes" giving their services free?

I dunno about this one - does it count as an "event"? - otherwise it is just an ad. Try the Observer/Telegraph next time - they don't charge much.

Re: August Bank Holiday Sunday Session
 

Big huge thanks to everyone who made it what it was!
