Its one of the best without a doubt, roll on saturday

Excellent gig again James last night and a really good turn out for a Sunday so close after Christmas !

Well done to Dee and Dave with this new Sunday venture and thank you again for the food and stuff - I've put on a few pounds this weekend - LOL.

Rick.

Dave - sent you a pm

we thought it was a great success for our sunday venture. it was nice to see so many people turn up, and they could not have been entertained any better, james it was a fantastic night you did us proud. big thanks to rick (45s covers) and anne nigel and chris (idle promise) mike and graham (lazy dog) and not forgetting andrea. hope you enjoyed it at the hindley arms with our mad crowd and staff.
by the way mondays we might start weight watchers or keep fit to help get rid of those weekend extra pounds

wouldnt know, they wont give us a gig!!!

@ dean casement trio for 1) saturday nights have been fully booked since last october for 2010. 2) your set list is is not for our crowd on a saturday, as for sundays we are just getting them up and running and we need bands to help and support us (where were you)

So you book the same bands week in week out doing the same stuff week in week out? As for our set list it changes from gig to gig half the time we dont even know what we're playin until we play it and trust me it does work!!! But who am I to argue with the if it aint broke dont fix it rule.... As for Sundays I do my nails and ensure my hareem of finely toned lady boys roll my cigars just the way I like them, so Sundays not a chance my darlings!!!

no over 40 different bands this year, not bad hey and a cancellation list of over 50. we put bands on to meet our 160 plus crowd (every week) happy. thats why we are strict what kind of music we put on. so for stopping in on sundays i take it you dont even support any venue when your not playing. thats why venues close down

Bloody hell I didn't realise the Hindley Arms are so grand on the scale of things, please accept my humble apologies..... Supporting venues I don’t think there is a venue that ‘The Trio’ has played that I have not formed some formed some kind of personal friendship with and as for supporting ‘the venue’ I and we have gone out on many occasions without being paid a penny to help drum up support and enthusiasm for the venue so don’t talk to me about support...... You do realise over the previous messages we've sent it could have been used constructively in which we could have discussed a potential set we could have played for you, not that it would have been needed as we'd have turned up seen the crowed gauged what they like and played it anyway... Odds are Im gonna get slated like crazy for this as Im sure some of your 160 plus crowed are on here, plus the over 40 bands you have a year and not to mention the cancellation list of over 50.... Shit, look at what you have made me do I’ve missed almost all of the first Coronation Street now. Anyway would have been lovely to have spoken to you at The Banner do at Xmas and I hope you enjoyed our set.

definately fave venue, couldn't hope to meet 2 nicer people than Dee & Dave

and dee and dave still wont let me buy them a drink back, just as well as i would need a bank loan :-)

"...and not to mention the cancellation list of over 50...."

Yup, and we're very proud to be included on that list!! ;)

thanks guys for your support, @ nothern riot we will speak to you about a sunday gig. got our boss coming today to see if we can get the go ahead for perminatly sunday doo

For what it's worth I think some bands need to sit back and look at their suitability for a given venue.

I don't think we would be compatible with the Hindley Arms or the Cricketers or a couple of the other rock venues on here. Why? Because the Landlords and Landladies KNOW THEIR AUDIENCE and what they like to listen to. Are we annoyed about it? HELL no. Where's the value in playing to an audience that isn't into what you play? The band and the venue loses.

I've only had the pleasure of talking to Dee and Dave once, but they are nice folks. Nice folks who know their market.

And no, "some bands" isn't aimed directly at DC. If it was I would say it.

Well said that man Mick. Wouldnt of thought for one minute that was even loosely directed at me. I'm dropping this now as I dont have the time, inclination nor interest to get in to any further debate or discussion with anybody on this subject.

I bid you all good luck in 2010

Bonjour for now

We had a great time on Sunday 3rd Jan 2010. Unbelieveable really considering the date. No doubt Dee and Dave know their audience, top people. Crowd super. Food and Beer (and pop!) smashing. Great pub. If I was local I'd be a regular. Good stuff and keep it up.

p.s we're not offended in the slightest about not playing on Saturdays.
