Just an idea : for any original Metal bands...er...from Bolton lol

Filed Under : Band Needed

Posted By : Scott - Metalleeka | Comments : 14

So that pretty much rules out about 90% of the bands on here lol


Seriously, we have found ourselves with nearly a month off in the calendar and with most venues already booked up, we are toying with the idea of having another gig at the Halliwell Roundhouse in Bolton to say thanks for letting us practice there each week for nowt.

So, we are looking for a Heavy Rock/Metal band from the Bolton area to do a 45 min set and we thought we would open it up to an originals band to have a go :-)
It's either going to be on the 8th Oct or the following week on the 15th so we need to get cracking on the organising lol.

This is purely just gonna be a fun night and give us something to do on a fri night with probably a small £2 or £3 charge on the door just to get a little bit back for fuel for both bands, but it's mainly about trying to get a fairly decent crowd down hence it would make sense to invite a local band that would be able to bring a crowd with them.

We will supply the PA, lights and drumkit (subject to our drummers permission lol) so all you need to bring is your amps, guitars and breakables for the kit...oh, and a sense of humour and fun would be advisable lol

This is only an idea at the moment as we are waiting on confirmation of what dates are available but the only thing we would ask in return is that you bust you're ballz advertising it as we will be :-D

Let me know if you're interested.

cheerz

Scott

PS....All NWB members are welcome to come down and join in with the buffoonary if youz are not gigging yerselves :-D

Yeah I think the gap is just a little too wide.
But the Roundhouse has quite a few dates free, so if you wanted to organise your own night, then just follow our template.
Maybe ask a covers or tribute band in your genre if they wanna headline and you support them...but it will mean a lot of work advertising it as it's kinda out of the way and doesn't have a local crowd so to speak. It would be only who you take down with you or attract via advertising.
But, if like us, your not bothered about making very little money out of it then why not give it a go.

It's up to you dude, I thought you guys weren't avail when we originally talked about it many moons ago.
If we could get sat 16th oct then maybe we could put 3 bands on?
Cos then we could get there on the sat afternoon and set up.
See what dates you have free then dude and we'll take it from there.

Right, slight bottomer, the roundhouse isn't avail on the 15th or 16th.

So the next avail date is the 29th Oct.
So everyone re-check yer diaries lol
I'll need to check with the Metalleeguys as well lol

At least it would give us more time to advertise it, but it fooks up the original idea of giving us something to do in our month off pmsl

Unfortunately, it looks like no date could be agreed, however we will be re-scheduling for early in the new year, so I'll get in touch in Nov/Dec time to all of the bands who expressed an interest.

thanks

Scott
