NWB - Community Blog

I'll second that. Although some the spelling on hear is Bloody awful.

lol

...and the grammar, punctuation and case-sensitivity, roj ;-)

Couldn't agree more Rob.

Got an email this morning from a website called PartyPOP saying thanks for registering our band on their website, but we hadn't. Anyway gets a call this afternoon from some guy from this PartyPOP company supposedly located in Los Angeles (with English accent) wanting us to pay for a band webpage on their site for a few hundred quid. He went on & on about how their site's the most popular in the world for party/wedding/event based businesses and how advertising with them would 'guarantee' us loads of gigs paying up to a grand.

Might be good for a tribute band travelling the country or Europe but for North West bands, there's really only ever one place you need to be.

Yeah, and all that.

I got that as well. Fuckin TL tribute at a wedding do. Your fuckin joking are'nt you. lol

Yep, I had the partypop guy chasing me a year or so ago. He just wouldn't feck off

As for the NWB site, absolutely awesome site. Had a great laugh, met some really cool people so far and look forward to meeting a lot more in the future.

I'll second that again re Scott's comments.

Bloody great place. I've never really "hung out" with other bands and their *sigh* members before. :o)

I'll second that as well Mick. Lets form a committee. LOL

Like you all say, it is a great site. Nice to meet and watch bands off this site. Good to get gigs and feedback from gigs as well.
I'm going to pm Paul with an idea I've got to help with the running costs and I think you will all like it.
Rick.

aggreed someone needs to come up with an idea that works.

big round of applause for mr NWB from all in THE FIX'S camp.

anything we can do to help just let us know, looking forward to the next showcase just hope its a bit nearer to us!

ben - the fix

just wouldn't be the same without it? comprehensive gig info,bands to suit all tastes,excellent networking, damn good exchanges of ideas and great fun!! :-)

What more could we want. Seriously though, a great site. Met shit loads of fellow muso's who I would have never met if it was'nt for this site. Hail, Hail

Night owl here, just got off South West Bands site and it's mingin ! ONLY Jokin 1

"I got that as well. Fuckin TL tribute at a wedding do. Your fuckin joking are'nt you. lol"

You'd be surprised, we've played loads of wedding do's, even posh ones... you should see the looks we get firing straight into The Jam then straight into the Pistols' Pretty Vacant second... people think we're taking the piss, which is all well good as long as they don't screw us for cash at the end!

... but I'll never forget the one where we got a bride in a 3-grand wedding dress to do a running dive on the dancefloor for a mass pile-on!
